    That awkward moment when you know the book you're reading is going to have an irreversible effect on your taste for future books because it's setting the standards a little too high

  • least bookish hobbies?

    I feel like a lot of what I do can be easily associated with reading, hobbies like crochet and listening to music, pair well with reading, either an audiobook and something to do with my hands, or a physical book and background noise, and writers are almost always readers, so I fit pretty well into those boxes, but what about my hobbies that stray from book adjacent and book compatible? I like to paint from time to time, and that's a nightmare to do while I read. I also like to talk to people, and I think it'd be quite rude of me to open up my newest library hold while asking about someone's day. (I consider talking to people a hobby. Yeah.)

    So, my question for you all: What's the least bookish thing you like to do? Are their any hobbies that pair horribly with reading? I'd hate to be a horror book fan, and someone who explored abandoned buildings, for example.
