Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together.

This week’s topic is “Ten Signs You’re a Booklover” – something I know a lot about!
- You are an active library user, but still buy a ton of books and either get a bookish subscription box or subscribe to something like Kindle Unlimited or Audible.
- You keep buying more books even though you have a ton of unread books on your shelf.
- You reread your favorites over and over even though you have a super long TBR list.
- Your “read” shelf on Goodreads is long, but your “want to read” shelf is even longer.
- You have a ton of bookish fandom merch that you consistently wear or otherwise use.
- You have a crush on a fictional character.
- You have a strong opinion on print books vs. ebooks vs. audiobooks but will enjoy your books however y9ou can get them.
- You’re on Book Twitter, Bookstagram, and/or Booktube.
- You’ve met one of your favorite authors and had them sign your copy of their book.
- You spend $100s on books or bookish things every year.
Yup, all of these ten apply to me – and I have no regrets!

I didn’t think about the meeting the author item. I’ve done that and it is nice. https://pmprescott.blogspot.com/2020/03/ttt-033120.html

Bookish fan merchandise is the best.

2 and 4 are my biggest problems, but there are worse things happening in this world 😉

2 and 4 speaks to me. I don’t use the library but I do buy tons of books and have KU and Audible Escape.

Great post, number 1, 2, and 10 are so me. Thank you so much for sharing your awesome post.

Does if you have a count on *several* fictional characters? I feel like that should be a loophole. 😉 I probably don’t need to buy another book for the rest of my life and I’d still never run out … and yet, I keep buying them. Oh my, how I relate to your list lol.
Here’s my TTT post.
The Coloring Book Nook
Fun post. I can relate to a few of them lol.

Unfortunately I can’t use a library (there are none where I live) but the rest definitely apply.
Whispering Stories
Oh gosh, I don’t make the mark for that many. I haven’t been to the library in years, I don’t have a favourite fictional character. My ‘want to read’ shelf on Goodreads is none existent and I rarely re-read a book. I do however keep on buying books eventhough I have loads on my TBR list.

I would say 2 is my biggest issue.

Love this list, and #7 is especially accurate, wow! I’m definitely a paperback girl, lol. I also relate to almost all of these. It’s so funny how we all have these almost paradoxical tendencies (like the bazillions of unread books we all have).
Here’s my TTT post if ya wanna check it out:
