My bookfession? I base all my purse buying decisions on book holding specifications.

Well, of course. It's important to know if a purse can only accomodate mmpb or if it's the right size for trade. All of my purse purchases must be the correct size to accomodate my Kindle.

Bookfessions:

I get extremely angry with people who proudly confess that they don't read. Barn raised moo cows! Anti-literacy trollops! HEIFERS.
*shakes fist*

I cannot control myself when I get near a bookstore. I MUST buy a book.

I am a snob. I have zero interest in a Kindle. Old school,book in hand,and the smell of fresh pages cannot be beat.

My bookfession? When I was a kid, I used to read under the sheets with a flashlight, too :) .

I went through a phase where I idolized Belle (from Beauty and the Beast) and walked everywhere with a book in front of my nose.

Being able to do this without falling down stairs or creating a blood feud with the cat is still a good skill to have at times. :D

Megan, thank you for posting this. This site made me very, very happy. I keep going back to read more. :D

I got so excited, I even submitted a Bookfession (and thanked the blogger for creating this, because it's awesome). Mine's up there now, #354:

As a child, I would get in trouble for sitting quietly in the house with a book while the other kids were outside playing. So I'd take my book outside, climb a tree and sit there to read instead.

Bookfession:

Am I the only one that carried a book to lunch and read the book while it was sitting in my lap?

Nope. :D

By second or third grade, I had perfected the "You will have to pry this book from my cold, dead hands" glare...

My bookfession: I let my kids read to obscene hours of the night, even on school nights, because I'm delighted that they share my love of reading. No flashlights for them. :D
