The struggles of being a bookworm every bookworm will understand
If you own more books than clothes and shoes combined, then you might be able to relate to this...
Finding a comfortable reading position
Sit down or lie down? Side, back, tummy? Curled up or stretched out?
Locating that blooming bookmark
Somehow, it’s gone walkies down the gaps of the sofa, the side of the bed or tangled up in the duvet. But most of the time you’re just sitting on it.

Sleepless nights
One last read of a chapter becomes reading half the damn book because you want to find out what happens next!

Post book sadness
After reading a fantastic book that you’ve been hooked on from the start then finally getting to the end sometimes feels like a crazy book hangover! (seriously)

Finding your next read
It may sound easy, but it isn’t, am I feeling fantasy this time? A thriller? A sweet chick flick? Science fiction? The options are endless

You’re just so invested in that book that you’ve escaped reality and went into your little world. You’ve finished the book and reality hits, you still haven’t washed last nights dishes!
