Book Blogger Hop - (August 18th - 24th) #5


This Week's Question:

When you enter an unfamiliar house or apartment for the first time, do you feel disappointed if you don't see any bookshelves, or books on the coffee table? (submitted by Maria @ A Night's Dream of Books)

My Answer:

 I don't think I've ever felt disappointed not seeing bookshelves or such in someone's house. It's not something I have ever looked out for specifically. For all I know, the person may just like to store their books out of sight, or they solely read E-books, who knows! But, when I do notice books in someone's house I do get excited, mainly out of curiosity and wanting to find out what they enjoy reading. They may just happen to like reading a similar genre or share an interest in a particular book - it would definitely make for an awesome conversation.

    You make a good point about the eBooks. These days, some people might not want to store print copies. That doesn't mean they're not a reader.

    Yes! I feel the same way. I get excited when I see books in someone's house too. I automatically gravitate to the shelves. Or least I want to. :-) Thanks for sharing. I hope you have a great weekend!

      It is always exciting to find out what other people enjoy reading, even if it is completely different to what you usually read. Thank you for stopping by :)

    I don't really feel disappointed if there's no bookshelf but when there is I can't take my eyes off of it lol, and always go up to it when I have the chance!

      Same! If there is a bookshelf, it will very likely draw my attention too. Thank you for sharing your thoughts <3

    As you know from reading my post, I get excited when I see bookshelves or bookcases in someone's living room! And I do feel disappointed when I don't. I realize this is irrational, but I can't help feeling this way, lol.

    Of course, if I do see bookshelves, I get ecstatic!! Then I immediately want to check them out to see what kind of books the person is interested in. And yes, this would spark some GREAT conversations!

    Thanks for commenting on my BBH post!! Hope you're having a nice Saturday!! <3 :)

      I don't think you are alone in feeling this way - we all look out for different things in a new place. Bookshelves seem to draw us book lovers right in! Thank you for stopping by :)

      You're very welcome!! And I'm glad I'm not alone in feeling the way I do. Of course, my feeling disappointed doesn't mean I JUDGE people in any way for not having books in their living room. I just feel like a kid on Christmas Day who doesn't see any presents under the tree. Lol. Have a GREAT day!! <3 :)

    Definitely! I have 2,000+ on my Kindle and nobody sees those when they walk into my house.
