Top ten best:
1. When you walk into a bookshop, and you see all the books by one of your favourite authors lined up in a row, and there's one you haven't read yet.
2. When you recommend a book to someone, and they really enjoy it.
3. When you discover that you're not the only one obsessed with books, there's others out there too.
4. When you spend ages and ages in a bookshop.
5. When the next book in a series comes out, and you've been waiting for ages. (P.S. Hurry up, Anthony Horowitz and Aprilynne Pike, can't you release your books just a bit sooner?!)
6. When an author announces that they have decided to make their book into a series.
7. When, incredibly, the next book in the series is even better than the first!
8. When you have just bought a book, and there are no bent edges, nothing wrong with the spine and no grubby fingerprints.
9. When someone buys you a book voucher for your birthday.
10. When you just read a book that you have read a hundred times, but just keeps getting better.
Top ten worst:
1. When Borders shut. On Christmas! :(
2. When Ottakers shut.
3. When books have bent edges, broken spines, creased pages, folded down corners, grubby spines and torn pages, etc.
4. When someone has borrowed one of your books and it comes back with bent edges, broken spines, etc.
5. When a book you love has a horrible cover.
6. When an author writes an amazing book, but finishes it with a lousy ending.
7. Any books that end with: 'And then he/she woke up, and discovered it had all been a dream.'
8. When you see someone vandalising a book. Grrrrrrr!!!!
9. When you have been waiting ages for a book to come out, and then they say: 'Sorry, but it isn't ready to be published yet. We're moving the release date so it comes out in three months.'
10. When you come across people who don't like reading, or think it's boring.
Hopefully this has revealed to you the full extent of my madness.
Once again, bye for now,
