Do you play quidditch? ‘Cause you’re the keeper of my heart
I HODOR you
You’re stacked
I A-Dumbledore You
My references say you’d make a swell date
If you were a book, I’d never put you down
My heart’s an open book for you
You’re my favorite non-fictional character
I’m your biggest fan
You and books are all I need
I like checking you out
You and I have POEtential
Dang! You are smokin’ like Fahrenheit 451
Let’s find A Room of One’s Own
You had me at #Ilikebooks
We could make such a beautiful library together
Ready for the next chapter?
Like an audio-book, I could listen to you 4ever
Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day? Ur hot
You look like my happily ever after
Baby, if you were words on a page then you’d be the fine print
Any room with you in it is A Room with a View
I Sense you have a lot of Sensibility. Was that too Austen-tatious of me to point out?
I have Great Expectations for our future tonight
I want you to hold me and Never Let Me Go
My Heart was a Lonely Hunter ’til I met you
Not even Snape could Severus apart
Is your name Ariel? Because I think we mermaid for each other

I’m just an average run-of-the-mill human being. Nothing too interesting about me. All I can say is I live and breathe like anybody else. The only difference? I write about it.
Does anyone else have reading dos and don’ts? Because this girl (me, right here) certainly does. Here are a few things I find peevish, rude, and crude bookish behavior. Feel free to comment on some of your pet peeves (bookish or otherwise) in the comment section. I’m curious to know.
HOPPER, Edward_Habitación de hotel, 1931
Fingerprints or smudges left on book pages. Did you eat something sticky? Greasy perhaps? How about you wash your hands, dry them, then touch the book. Just a thought.
Borrowing a book(s) from me and then never returning what I gave you. Not a gift my friend. Not. A. Gift.
What is worse then stealing a borrowed book? I know! Returning it in absolute craptastic condition, acting like nothing has happened to it, and moon-walking away from me before I have a chance to say anything to you.
Seeing I am engrossed in a novel, yet deciding I am free for a fireside chat. Yeah, buddy, no. No, I am not free. I am reading a book, which is the most socially accepted way of ignoring your fellow man. Once I’ve inserted my bookmark, well, all bets are off. Approach me once I close my book, just, not before I do so, okay?
Annotating your own book? Cool. Sharing a book of your annotations? Also, cool. Annotating a book with friends? Even cooler. What’s not cool? Opening a library book or used book and just seeing the pages defaced with gibberish, swear words, and dicks. Not cool bro. Not cool at all.
Stop destroying books. Book burning is a disgusting ignorant waste of time. Don’t like a book then do not read it. ‘Nuff said.
Bringing a beloved book to the beach only to have some jerk splash you with water. It’s fine if it is an accident, but don’t do it otherwise. If I’m sunbathing and reading then that is my business. Just because I’m choosing not to swim, doesn’t give you the right to harass me. Also, soggy waterlogged pages suck.
Gum belongs inside a gum wrapper, not literature. Choosing to place used gum in-between the pages of a novel you didn’t like is a.) nasty and b.) a douche move.
Making fun of somebody else’s favorite series or author doesn’t make you “woke” or “hip.” It only makes you look like a jackass. Unless you are constructively discussing why you didn’t like something, leave it be. People are allowed to like other things than you do.
Authors writing a killer book series then stopping on a cliff hanger. Even more unforgivable? When those same authors never update that series again. Easily, the stuff of nightmares.

Great instruction on how to use a book! This one must be read in bed and must not be borrowed. For a double bed, buy two. From Mince Pie by Christopher Morley, 1919. (Courtesy faustiweheklag.)

Because you might finish the first and, maybe, not get into the second book, so then you’ll have nothing to read. Other bookworms will feel my pain here. This gif sums it up perfectly:
