Top Ten Bookish Confessions ( Anything! You dog ear, you hated a book but said you loved it, you have $500 library fines...anything goes!)

1: Krisha:  I can't stand the thought of book pages being ripped from their spines. But with that being said, I''m currently dismembering a botanical book from the '50s to frame as art in my house. Look for it on Inspired Friday's in the next month or so. 
2: Katie:Since we are talking about dismembering books, I have torn out pages from a book before, also in the name of art. However, i only take pages that aren't necessarily needed. ex. at the end of book one of a series there are the first couple chapters of book two.. which are not needed to me, since i own book two. Also one time i lost my current Sookie Stackhouse book i was reading, re bought it ... and then found it. i know that sounds bad. I have done many more projects with book pages, but like Krisha you will have to wait for Inspired Fridays.



3 Krisha: I always read books cover to cover. That includes quotes and dedications at the the beginning all the way to the author bios at the back. A book is not completed until done so. 
4 Katie: Ok, im ready for everyone to kill me now. I have always read a paperback by folding back it back and holding it with one hand (breaking the spine), not all the time, and I am trying to get better I swear. My defense is that i have only recently joined the book reading world, never was much of a reader before.. so I was ignorant, I am sorry and I will stop! 

5 Krisha: I am the worst about reading book spoilers if the book or series seems boring. Totally did this with a series Katie was reading and things got so crazy stupid that i never even started on them, thank goodness. Katie is my voice of reason and makes huge efforts for me not to look ahead even though she is not always successful.
6 Katie: yes, yes, i dog ear pages! ... i don't think this is as bad as the spine, i think it gives it character. and while we are on the subject, i am sure i have gotten a coffee ring or makeup stains on there as well.. sorry:(
7 Krisha: I Have cried more over books that I have over some of the horrible things that I've seen on the news. And I don't want to talk about it. 
8 Katie: as an adult I have never been to the public library, nor have i ever had a library card.. i know weird right, but again, i was never much of a reader until 2008.

9 Krisha: This is my biggest confession and the one I feel most guilty about... I have Brandi's copy of Water for Elephants. I've had it for years and I'm not sure if my guilt outweighs the of one of the few hardbacks in "my"collection. Sorry girl! Love ya!
10 Katie: I am not sure if this is weird or not, i don't think i have ever talked to someone, or mentioned this before, nor do i know if this is a no-no or not. I really hate the covers that come the hard backs. you know, the covers, or whatever they are called. and i for sure can't read a hard back with that on either. but no worries, i don't throw them away, i save them and stash them away for later. 

Whew! that was hard to confess! what bookish confessions do you have? let us know in the comments. 

Thanks, and Happy Reading
Krisha & Katie
