I'm a combination between Picky, Indecisive and Over Prepared

What type of reader are you?

ElaineR I flit between voracious and neglectful I'm afraid. 5y

Butterfinger Overprepared and Reclusive 5y

Enchanted_Bibliophile @ElaineR I get it... If I have a good series I'm also Voracious and then tend to neglect my other books 😉 5y

Enchanted_Bibliophile @Butterfinger Good combo in my opinion 5y

TheLibrarian I‘m the same 3 as you! 5y

Enchanted_Bibliophile @TheLibrarian Cool, we can start a club 😎 5y

PaperbackPirate I‘m over prepared! 📚 5y

Enchanted_Bibliophile @PaperbackPirate I also like to have options available... When we go on holiday I'll take 20 Books and maybe read half of them. And end up buying 20 new ones as well 😁 5y

I‘m one of those freaky people that actually reads books.” ~ Jason Momoa

Debdeb Just when I thought he couldn‘t be any more appealing 😂 💖 😍 (edited) 6y

CKBrooke Permission to come aboard GRANTED 😍🧜🏽‍♂️ 6y

tournevis I call shenanigans on that quote. He is known as ripping pages out of his co-stars books for the LOLs. Those things are contradictory. 6y

SW-T @tournevis He tore pages out of Amber Heards book for attention, yes, but he may still like reading. 6y

tournevis @SW-T I'm willing to be proved wrong, but WHO RIPS PAGES OUT OF A BOOK? This gets to me. 6y

SW-T @tournevis It bugged a lot of people. You‘re not alone there. I didn‘t like the story either but reminded myself that artists remove pages from books or cut out pieces of books to create art. Everyone doesn‘t feel as protective 💔 6y

Booksndogs So this is the inside of the Reading Envy Pub? 6y

ReadingEnvy @Booksndogs one of the insides :) 6y

Someone posted this on Facebook. Could not believe someone was reading at a playoff game. actually called her a debbiedowner. I am dying...this would be me!! #gottaread #canreadanywhere

JoScho Me too! I don‘t care about sports! 6y

Reecaspieces @JoScho I actually commented. Someone she loved wanted her to go so she went...see compromise😂 6y

JamieArc #shesmyhero ❤️😂 6y

Reecaspieces @JamieArc I know right!?!?! 6y

JoScho Yes! She went and is also doing what she enjoys. Good for her! 6y

Jee_HookedOnBookz Love love love this!! Hahaha I went with my hubs to a game and I read too ROFL 6y

Reecaspieces @JoScho 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 6y

Reecaspieces @Jee_HookedOnBookz me and you both! 6y

Jee_HookedOnBookz @Reecaspieces hahaha hi five! 6y

LauraBeth 😂I‘m guilty of this 6y

AmyG I wish I could do that when I get dragged to games. 😳 6y

8little_paws Also with the amount of downtime in a football game, she could be looking during the actual game play and reading the rest of the time 6y

Readergrrl It‘s exactly what I‘m doing now!! In my house, surrounded by Patriots fans, and I don‘t care! Earplugs are a wonderful invention! 6y

Jee_HookedOnBookz Pls send the reader in the pic our full support! 😊❤️💕 6y

Reecaspieces @LauraBeth me too!!! 6y

LiteraryinPA So I love to watch football BUT I agree there‘s a lot of down time! So in the commercial breaks I‘ve been muting it and reading. 😋 6y

KathyWheeler My high school boyfriend was a football player and my college boyfriend was in the marching band; I went to a lot of games and did this at every single one.😄 6y

parttimedomestic This was totally me when my husband dragged me to a college football game. 😂 🤷🏼‍♀️ I told him he would have more fun without me. 6y

tournevis But, but that's not what a debbiedowner is. A debbiedowner would be someone pointing out that the crime rate among NFL players is proportionate to head injuries, or something. Also, this woman is my hero 6y

Reecaspieces @tournevis 😂😂😂amen!!! 6y

Sills I❤️🏈 but I do read during commercials too, but I've never taken a book to the stadium🤔 that's a fan! Go reader🎉 6y

tournevis @Reecaspieces 😋😋😋 6y

Reecaspieces @Sills I always take a book where ever I go. I have read in Busch stadium during the World Series. There is always a pitching change somewhere 😂🤷🏻‍♀️ 6y

Sills @Reecaspieces That's wild I always have a book in my vehicle just never brought it into the stadium. I'm a huge Kc Chiefs fan🏈 You have inspired me now👍 6y

Kappadeemom I read during my son‘s basketball games. There are a lot of time outs! 6y

SamanthaMarie Yet if it was a cell phone, no one would bat an eye 🙄 6y

Jdav9613 There is no way I could read in a stadium. That takes serious concentration! 6y

mermer87 This would be me at any sport except hockey although I have read during warmups at OHL games while pucks hit the glass in front of me lol 6y

Tdumatrait The person has some serious concentration because it was loud for that game that parts of the ceiling were falling. I applaud you Stadium Reader and your superpowers concentration. You deserved to read that book and all books in public! 6y

Mrsann2000 This could be me! I was always the one with the book in the bleachers... 6y

dragondrool Why not? I would. And Stephen King would approve. He takes a book to his Red Sox games for between innings. 6y

SilversReviews Me too. Love it. 6y

Back when I was dating, opening with this question would have saved me so much time. I do know a few reader/nonreader couples who make it work, but it wasn't for me. Luckily I ended up marrying a fellow English Major. Lol

Slajaunie My husband is not a big reader. In the last year or so he has been trying to read more, though. He has always been envious that I could just sit and read forever. He actually has a reading goal on Goodreads now. It only took 19 years to rub off! 😂 6y

Erinreadsthebooks My husband has never been a reader. There are times when I wish he was but it works. I read in his proximity while he does whatever manly things he has to do 😁 6y

SleepyDragon @Slajaunie That is awesome! 6y

SleepyDragon @Erinreadsthebooks I think having some separate interests plays a part in having a healthy relationship. And hey, if his "manly things" include building bookshelves, even better! 6y

britt_brooke My husband is the one who encouraged me to read books after we got married (nearly 17 years ago 😳), so it‘s worked out, but if I were single now, this would be a total deal breaker! 6y

SleepyDragon @britt_brooke YAY influential husbands. I was always a reader, but my husband has definitely encouraged me to read beyond my comfort zone. 6y

britt_brooke @NeesyBeth 💚 6y
