The Most Relatable Truths for Every Bookish Gal
We are very outspoken about our love of reading. We spend more time in a book than on our phones. If you're anything like us, you can consider yourself a "bookish" person. Other symptoms may include having endless books on your to-read list and spending too many hours at the bookstore or scrolling through BookTok.
Curious to learn more about the lifestyle of a bookish gal? Continue reading to discover six truths every reader can relate to.
Tuesday Is the Best Day of the Week
As avid readers, it's not the weekend you look forward to. No, it's not Friday, either. It's the most unsuspecting day of the week: Tuesday. In the literary world, Tuesday marks the new releases of the week. Every seven days, you head to your local bookstore to be the first to snag the most anticipated reads. Plus, you have a better shot of acquiring a special or signed edition when you're early.

The Most Exciting Part About Finishing a Book Is Reviewing It on Goodreads
TikTok and Instagram are fun and all. But bookish people know the most superior form of social media is Goodreads. You can add your friends and learn more about their taste in books by viewing their shelves and reviews. When you finish (or find a book you want to read), you can add it to your page so they can also stalk you.

You Totally Stalk Facebook Marketplace, Mercari and More for Unique Book Finds
In this era of reading, securing a special edition book is a bloodbath. You have to purchase memberships and queue in line for hours. After the money and time spent, you still may not be lucky enough to get it. As a result, you have to hunt on resale sites to find them for an affordable price. When you check religiously, you are bound to get lucky.
Subscription Boxes Have Made Your Shopping Addiction Even Worse
As we previously mentioned, collecting books is a serious hobby. To have the best odds, you have to sign up for subscription services. Honestly, it's nearly impossible to say no when every book is beautiful. It doesn't matter if it's not your taste, you still have to have your hands on it.

You Constantly Rotate Between Physical Copies and eReaders
We go through phases with our preferred reading method. Our brains need to use an eReader for some weeks. Later, we like to feel the pages turning in our hands. So, we end up having our books in multiple formats in case our tastes change. It's expensive but oh-so worth it.
You Spend More Time Reading Than… Everything Else
It's summer. We could be swimming in a pool, playing tennis or grabbing ice cream with friends. Instead, we'd like to spend time with our noses in a book. Sorry, but our love of reading is non-negotiable. We can't deny the quality time with our book boyfriends and besties!
