Welcome to another Top 5 Wednesday! Today is all about bookish habits, and I believe any and all readers have them. So, without further ado, let’s get started!
5. I smell my books.
I’m pretty sure everyone does this. (No? Am I weird?) There’s just something about physical books and smell, man. They smell like nostalgia and they just smell… nice. xD I don’t know how else I can really explain this one, but yes, I sniff my books.
4. I don’t let people borrow my books.
This isn’t really a habit, but I just hate letting other people take hold of my possessions. It’s a thing I’ve had for a long time ever since I let someone borrow a book and it came back to me with the cover completely ruined (and she tried to say I gave it to her like that when I KNOW it was in pristine condition). Ever since I don’t let people borrow my things unless I have 100% trust in them that they won’t somehow wreck them.
3. I start multiple books at a time.
I start reading multiple books at the same time sometimes. Even though I do this I can still separate the worlds from one another and enjoy each story individually rather than getting them confused.
2. I flip to the back and read the last paragraph or two of the book.
I do this before starting a book. I’ve been better lately and haven’t done it in a while, but I still just want to know the end so I’m not surprised. Is that bad?
1. I have to finish a chapter before I put the book down for the night.
When I’m reading a book it’s really hard for me to just put it down and pick it up later if I stop at a random place. I need to finish the chapter or a section before putting it down. It feels more completed that way and it’s easier for me to remember what I read last.
What are your top five bookish habits? Let me know!
No borrowing? Interesting. Either way, thanks for sharing! If you’re ever in need of some great book reviews and musings, be sure to follow! Thanks!!!

I get very possessive of my belongings. Past experiences make me weary, even with my closest friends. I’m trying to make progress on that, though, I swear!
