I have a book blog and I’ve never read Harry Potter
This is perfectly and completely acceptable. Having a book blog doesn’t require feats of strength. You just make it and poof, you’re a book blogger. Regardless of the books you’ve read/haven’t read. There’s plenty of time to read the books you haven’t gotten round to yet and, at the same time, who says you need to read all the popular books? That’s right, no one :)
Everyone likes different things. Most of us try not to judge people based on what they do or don’t like (:

Nonnie,
If you read 5 minutes a day or 5 minutes a month, you are a reader.
If you finish 100 books a year or just one book a year or even half a book a year, you are a reader.
If you read a page, you are a reader.
If you love reading, YOU ARE A READER.
Hugs! <3

The Thirteenth Tale by Diane Setterfield. Never have i encountered such a beautiful description of the joys of reading, nor ever have I read a book with as huge of a twist. This book got me started on my full on obsession with reading.
thank you so much for the rec!! :)
Ooh! Yes yes yes! It is such a good book!! I didn’t want it to end! And I related so well to the descriptions of readers and reading!
I’m reading Beloved by Toni Morrison for one of my classes and it’s a very disturbing book but I actually kind of like it
sounds like the kinda book i wanna read
I had to read it in school. It’s hard to read because of the stream of consciousness, but it’s really good. Do recommend.
When you don’t get to the second book in a series for over a year and you’re like, man, I wish this had a “previously on _______.”
YES! Books seriously need a previously on!
but when you’re binge reading a series and the author makes an effort to explain things that happened in the last book and you’re like yes i know i literally read that 10 minutes ago
Friendly reminder that criticising a book or pointing out its problematic aspects does not equal shaming someone for what they read.
It is allowed and important to discuss problematic books.
I also think that as long as the reader is aware of the problems and isn’t idealizing a book but merely reading it for entertainment that there’s no reason to shame them.
Reading is for everyone.
I don’t care if you’re a girl.
I don’t care if you’re a guy.
I don’t care if you haven’t decided what gender you are yet.
I don’t care if you’re a dragon.
Or a sheep.
If you want to read, you pick of the damn book and read it.

This needs to be on a shirt, poster, mug, and everywhere else so everyone can see it!

But please, if you’re reading a book that’s killing you, put it down and read something else, just as you would reach for the remote if you weren’t enjoying a TV program.
Sometimes a book annoys me. Sometimes I can’t stop reading it anyway.
Yeps. The ending could surprise you.
sometimes the ending doesn’t even surprise me and i read all the sequels anyway
And just desperately hate everything and everyone for the next five books.
