So I can completely relate to that. Nice list!

LOL! Every one of them sounds just like me, especially the cover one and numbers 9 and 10. I don't like audio books either, I just tried to listen to The Night Circus, but I had to force myself to finish it. I will buy a book if it has a pretty cover. That's the reason I have not read Divergent yet, I don't have Insurgent.<br />I have the same problems with adding books to my TBR pile and never getting around to them because I would rather get books from the library.SarahS.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09013203318801486797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2840182438480059815.post-70052968884314243072012-07-12T07:14:17.376+12:002012-07-12T07:14:17.376+12:00I have many of the same compulsions!

However, I love audiobooks. I do prefer a single reading and I won't listen to full-cast audions, but I don't drive anywhere without a book anymore and walking the dog is more enjoyable when I have someone telling me a story!

And of course in order (just so things make sense and there are no spoilers).<br /><br />I actually try to read the book before I see the show or watch the movie, though I care more about reading a book that was adapted into a film than reading a book that was adapted into a television show (because usually the books that become shows are long, and very different from their TV counterparts).<br /><br />I love watching film/TV adaptations to books I've already read too!<br /><br />I try not to, but it's so difficult not to judge a book by its cover. And the cover SHOULD grab the reader, in my opinion, though I know some awesome books with unfortunate covers.<br /><br />Haha, I wish my TBR list shrunk. I think it has over a hundred books, fifty of which I own, that I still need to read!<br /><br />And YES, I bring books with me everywhere too (even social dinner gatherings, lol).<br /><br />Fantastic list!Aimee @ Penmanship Smittenhttp://penmanshipsmitten.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2840182438480059815.post-24269185189708699972012-07-11T07:38:22.169+12:002012-07-11T07:38:22.169+12:00haha we have a lot of the same book quirks..

I was sort of against audio books too at one time but then I listened to Where She Went by Gayle Foreman and it was AMAZING! Will Grayson/Will Grayson was also quite good, so it may just be a case of finding the right one. Great post. <br /><br />Thanks for the follow on our blog: The Readers Den.
