A huge thank you goes Emily @ The Literary Life who nominated me for The Versatile Blogger Award! This is my second time, and I couldn’t be happier about all the love you guys throw at me here on this blog! ❤ Funny thing is, I was nominated for the second time by her second TVBA nomination post! 😀
Please, visit Emily’s blog, it’s worth a check! 😉
RULES:
- Thank the person who gave you the award.
- Include a link to their blog.
- Select 7 blogs/bloggers that you’ve discovered recently or regularly follow.
- Nominate those 7 bloggers for the Versatile Blogger Award.
- Finally, tell the person who nominated you 7 things about yourself.
7 FACTS ABOUT ME:
- I currently own 492 physical books. These are all my own (not part of the family’s) and I’ve been gathering them since I was 5. (Textbooks not counted.)
- My dream house has its own library. No matter how small it is. If it’s not possible (
I plan to have children sometime in the future, so probably they’ll need an extra room more than my books…), I want my living room be crowded with bookshelves. I basically want to live in a library. 😀 - I know my best friend from before kindergarten. We lived in the same neighborhood, went to the same schools from kindergarten to high school, and only parted at university – but only partly, because we went to university in the same city, only different faculty. (At first. She’s PhD-ing in the med school now, so we have a bit of common ground there, too.)
- I bought a beautiful spotted mug that’s 7 dl (
Yes, I use the metric system. Deal with it!) and it is amazing! Okay this has nothing to do with this post. I just wanted to boast. I love it! I love hugging it when it’s full of nice smelling hot tea while reading! - I have a rule of not saying ‘no’ to coffee. Ever.
- I probably became an avid reader because my mother is one.
- I only recently bought a Kindle, and I love it way more than I thought I would! (I read ebooks on my tablet before.)

Thank you for tagging me! Gosh that’s a lot of books you have.. I actually haven’t counted my physical books but I’m not sure it’s a good idea either, although they don’t seem so many I know looks can be deceiving :-). I’m so going to look on Instagram to see if I spot a photo of your mug :-). I also never say no to coffee, I drink coffee every single day :-). Lovely to know these new facts about you!

You’re welcome! 😊 I have an exact count because I have a list of them, so it would be easier to follow what I own 😅 I started it as a preteen, so my family would know which one they should not buy me as a gift 😀 there’s no photo of the mug on Instagram so far, but I plan to do and share at least some 😉

Those pesky future children getting rid of our libraries! Lol my house will be filled with bookshelves everywhere as soon as I actually get a place large enough for a bookshelf…for now, I settle for having hundreds of books on Kindle and easy access to a digital and physical library at all times. I have actually picked my housing before based on the distance between me and the nearest library.
Thanks for the nomination!

Yeah I’m having problem finding place to my physical copies 😅 so I’m reading more and more ebooks… But my book buying habit will come back once I have a house with bookshelves 😊🏡📖

Oh, this is such an awesome tag, so thank you for tagging me! I’ll have to make a post soon. And it’s great getting to read more about you. I felt the same way about my Kindle! I knew it’d make reading ebooks easier, but I fell in love with the thing. Would your library have its own cataloging system, or do you just replace books wherever they fit? I feel that’s a big bookworm question.

You’re welcome!! 😊 Hm, that’s a great question. Right now I’m pretty much losing any sign of a system, mainly because of losing space for my books 😅 I have a simple list I’ve been adding every new book to ever since I was like 12, and the main organizing principle on my shelves in that I want series/books written by the same author to be next to each other. It’s really hard to do with too little space. I want it all to be more organized, but a lot of change is about to come in my life this year, lodging-wise, too, so I don’t see the point of working out the best way for me yet. Once I’ll have a permanent apartment I live in, I’ll do all this stuff. 😊

Well that sounds like a good plan to me! It basically sounds like we’ve got a similar system going. At this point, I stack books wherever I can fit them. That’s so awesome that you’ve been compiling a list since you were 12, though. Starting that dedication to books early! Hopefully you’ll have the library you’ve always wanted soon enough.

I think I’ve been very dedicated to books ever since I learnt to read at 5, but by the time I was 12 it got out of hand, and I had to write a list to keep track of what I own 😅😁
