Check out The Broke and the Bookish for more Top Ten Tuesday themes.
1) Curling up on the couch to read under a blanket - My favorite place to read is my couch. It is not a coincidence that if my couch is messy I don't do a lot of reading. For some reason if I can't read there my progress is slow in the book I'm working on. I love my couch and curling up under a cozy blanket and good book is the best.
2) Finding your favorite book or series in a book store - Even though I already own copies of my favorite books, when I find them in a book store I get really excited. Maybe because I try to push them on my friends when I see them in the wild.
3) When the house is quiet and you have nowhere to go - For me, these moments are few and far between. I almost never have the house to myself, but when I do it is such a treat! No interruptions and just silence for me.
4) Getting the email that your books have shipped - This email can make my day closely followed by the email that my books have actually arrived.
5) Book Sale Book Shopping - Looking through piles of random books might not be everyone's cup of tea, but it is mine! I enjoy spending time around books in general, and I like browsing through tables of books. It is interesting to see what else is out there other than the specific books I shop for online or in a store.
6) Making a cup of coffee or tea exclusively to drink while reading - Well this cup of coffee could be to drink while I read or it might be the cup I let get cold while I'm reading an amazing book!!
7) Deckled Edges - I LOVE deckled edged books. I love it even though it doesn't make sense. That detail adds a nice touch to the book and I'm always excited when I see a book has it.
8) Little Extras from an author about their characters - There are few things that delight me more than seeing a author discuss their characters or gives snippets about their characters. It makes me more happy than nessessary and brings out my fangirl side.
Those are a few of the things that delight me as a bookworm. What are your favorite book related little pleasures?

Thanks! - The flip side is when you get the email the books have been delivered!
DeleteWhat a fun list! I am totally the same way about seeing my favorite series in bookstores. I just like to see them. And sometimes I consider buying more editions of them--like those new illustrated editions of Harry Potter. I super want to own those! Thanks for sharing :)

I have a few different editions of Harry Potter including the illustrated one! It is really neat!
DeleteI wouldn't say I love deckled edges, but I've gotten used to them. :)

Haha! I know they aren't everyone's cup of tea, but I just love the way they make the books look.
