Off Tangent Thoughts… when someone reads a book I love
Good evening bookworms!
I somehow forgot today was Sunday, so I didn’t schedule this post (also I am so tired from travel and packing)!! Today, albeit later than usual, we are doing another Off Tangent Thoughts (OTT) which was created by Charvi @ Not Just Fiction. This fortnight’s topic is thoughts I have when someone reads a book I love.
I was going to split this one into two: thoughts I have if I recommended it, and thoughts I have if they randomly read it, but after I drafted them they were basically the same, so I just did one…
- ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!
- OH. MY. GAWWWWD!!
- They’re reading it. They’re reading it.
- *heavy breathing while awaiting outcome of whether they loved it or not*
- *dies while waiting impatiently*
- *review arrives in my inbox*
- I’m too scared to look!! Husband – you look, did they like it?
- *peeks through fingers*
- ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!
- They liked it! They liked it!
- *squeeeeees*
- *jumps up and down a couple of times*
- *fangirls all over the keyboard with incoherent thoughts and random words*
- *retypes comments to ensure they make sense*
- *walks around with heart-eyes for a week grinning to self like an idiot*

Hahaha this is too accurate!
I always get nervous when someone is reading a book that I recommended! what if they don’t like it?! Will it be my fault?! hahah

OMG I know!! I almost split this into a “they loved” vs “they didn’t love it”, but then the second one would just be me sobbing uncontrollably doubting everything I ever thought… not too positive for a post!! ?

Hahaha, it was a short post!! I feel like I’m trying to catch up, and play Mafia, and be active on Twitter, and pack my house, and read and review books, and also work. How do I even have time to sleep at the moment??

Thank you!! ?

??? I love this so much this is way too relatable ? I can’t sit still once I know someone close to me is reading something I loved, I’m always sooo nervous to hear their thoughts and reactions and pray that they’ll love it too ?

Haha, I had a line about pacing and leg jiggling but I took it out as I thought I might come across as a nervous wreck ??
Marie
Well… that would have described me entirely then hahaha ALL the pacing and nervousness that’s so me as well hahaha

Glad it’s not just me!! ??
Isabelle @ BookwyrmBites
honestly I think my reaction would just be [keyboard smash for 500 lines] so this is super relatable, it’s so so so exciting but also nervewracking waiting to see what they thought!

Yes!!! I had a line about pacing and leg jiggling but I took it out… I need to remember that you guys won’t judge me for acting like a nervous wreck all the time!! ??
Isabelle @ BookwyrmBites
our corner of the bookish community is definitely a no-judgment zone, we’re right there with you!
