Heya. I know I'm joining this party super-late, but it looks too fun to not do. I won't be doing the 15 Day Book Blogger Challenge consecutively but plan to finish it. You can visit goodbooksandwine.com to check out other bloggers who have done this challenge. >

Okey-doke. So here goes my list of 15 book-related confessions. The best confessions I have are from the past. Warning: some will be totally nasty. >
>
1. I used to wipe my snot onto library books back in elementary school. >
The thicker the snot, the better. What? I told you it was going to be gross! >
>
2. I sniff paperbacks. >
Old. New. I like how all paperbacks smell. I think this is relatively common among bibliophiles though.>
>
3. I have bad taste when it comes to crushes on fictional men. >
>
4. When I was 10, I wrote letters to the dead C.S. Lewis to ask him to let me into Narnia.>
Risking my life in Narnia seemed much better than the stupid school drama I was going through...>
>
5. I get mad when the corner of my new paperback book cover gets bent. >
It's so hard to keep paperback books looking nice. >
>
6. In high school I realized how formulaic Harlequin romances were, so I'd just flip to the sex parts (a little past the middle).>
>7. Also, in high school, my skin was so oily that occasionally I would use the pages of books as oil absorbing sheets. >
>8. I binge at the library. >
By binge, I mean binge-borrow. Highest record was 30-something books that I took home in two nylon tote bags.>
>9. I have never read at the beach. >
I live right next to the beach but I have never read a book on the beach despite all those summer reads pics that show up everywhere. I don't really visit the beach much. I just like the breeze. >
>10. As a kid, my favorite books series was the Babysitter's Club by Ann M. Martin. >
And my favorite Babysitter was Mallory. >
>11. I cover my book collection with plastic book protectors. >
They're like the ones that cover comics. It takes away the experience of grabbing a book from the shelf and then flipping through it, but I do it to keep out the pests. Too bad I didn't start this sooner!>
>12. I borrow most of the books I read. >
My little room has no space to keep all of the books I want, so I have space on a shelf dedicated to transient books. >
>13. I dream of having a room dedicated to my personal library.>
It would have cushioned chairs, a wide window, and lots of shelves. And maybe a chandelier. But a standing lamp will do. >
>14. During hard times, I read for especially for escapism. >
The further from reality, the better. Super-formulaic fantasy is great for when I just want to transport my mind to a similar world with a different set of rules. >
>15. I feel aimless in life without a book I'm currently reading. >
I've gone through weeks where I wasn't reading a novel for fun, especially when I was pre-med. I'd read articles, short pieces, but I felt lost without a longer storyline to ground me and keep me moving to the end. >
