I kept always two books in my pocket, one to read, one to write in.

types of readers
- hardcore: gets through a book a week (at least) and still has the time to re-read favourites AND study! could read all night if given the chance. everyone wants to know their secret.
- softcore: takes their time but still gets through an obscene amount of books per year. their books have a lot of folded corners and their bedside table is basically just a stack of books.
- wanna-be: spends hours browsing bookstores and reading reviews but doesn't actually read that much. often found making lists of all the books they plan on reading. have a pile of books they want to read in the corner of their room (but it's been untouched for a year).
- stress-reader: they MUST read books practically as soon as they're released and must read them before everyone else so that they can tell everyone about them. their wishlist is massive and they spend all their money on pre-orders. will become a critic someday.
- the reader everyone aspires to be: can be found in bed reading classics at 10am on a sunday (coffee and a croissant in hand), their parisian apartment window open with a light breeze drifting inside. they're under no pressure, no time restraints, and can read peacefully all day.
- the student: has a pile of about 60 books they REALLY want to read. however, they also have a pile of about 100 books they don't want to read but have to for their course. often found asleep over a textbook at 2am. all their books are coffee-stained and smudged with ink. some are stolen from their school's library (accidentally of course).
- the expert: has a comprehensive (and highly organised) collection of antique books, first editions and classics. they rarely read anything less than 20 years old and make sure to tell everyone that. has the phone numbers of local antique dealers memorised.
In books and in life, you need to read several pages before someone’s true character is revealed.

You know you’re a Booklr when…
Personally I’d say 30% cats with books, 20% dogs with books, 30% HP fandom, 10% books I haven’t read, and 10% books in photogenic bookstores, some of which I’ve been to.
I never seem to find pics of books & dogs! Need more in my feed for sure!
Good books often answer questions you didn’t even know you wanted to ask

You can wipe your feet on me, twist my motives around all you like, you can dump millstones on my head and drown me in the river, but you can’t get me out of the story. I’m the plot, babe, and don’t ever forget it.
Margaret Atwood, Good Bones
Getting creative, feeling inspired…
“Sing in the shower. Dance to the radio. Tell stories. Write a poem to a friend, even a lousy poem. Do it as well as you possibly can. You will get an enormous reward. You will have created something.”
