Top Ten Tuesday: These are my confessions

A feature hosted by The Broke and the Bookish. 

This weeks topic: Top Ten Eleven Bookish Confessions: 

1.  I am HUGE sucker for a pretty cover. If the cover is beautiful/unique/eye-catching there is an automatic 75% chance that I will read the book.
2. If I want to read a book, I will buy it. I think it comes from growing up; I always had to get my books from the library, which had a small selection to choose from. I would rent the largest amount you possibly could (12). Then read and re-read them until my parents would take me back the next week. From then on, I knew that I wanted my own, personal library. Plus, I work nights, so I usually read when nothing is open. This makes it extra nice to have options available when I finish a book at 3 A.M. and am looking for my next read.
3. I collect bookmarks. I used to make my own out of scrapbook leftovers, but now I am addicted to those magnetic ones that you clip to the top of the page. Mine have their own container that sits on my nightstand, at the ready. 
4. I started book blogging when I was in college. I was on a train ride on my way home from spring break and decided that I needed a way to track the books that I had read. Thus, my blog was born. I switched over to blogger a few years later based on a friends recommendation.
5. I rarely will tell anyone in RL what kind of books I read. Most of my RL friends read Jodi Piccoult, Stephanie Meyer, Dan Brown, etc.. Not to discriminate, becuase I have read at least 2 of those authors. However, when I've previously tried to describe YA or PNR or SciFi, I get blank looks before my friends change the subject. 
6. I do not own an ereader. I honestly do want to get one, but can't decided on what brand (NOOK or Kindle) or what kind (color, touch, etc...). Plus, there is nothing like holding a book. Yes, I am one of those. 
7. I go through every copy of a book at the store before choosing the one that is in the most pristine condition before purchasing.  
8. I usually buy my books at my local indie bookstore. I do have a B&N membership that comes in handy. When I'm short on money, I buy from amazon.
9. I am addicted to goodreads. I have the app on my phone and check the website daily. When it goes down, I am not a happy person.
10. My books are treated with tender love and care. After I've read them, they still look brand new. When I sell them back on occasion to the bookstore, the workers get giddy because of the selection and great condition they're in. It always makes me re-think if book buyback is a good idea. 
11. I take a book with me everywhere. Work, doctor appointments, school, wherever. My doctor will always ask what book I'm reading when I have an appointment.

This is probably more than you ever wanted to know about me. What are your bookish confessions?
