^yes! just can't remember where i found this goodness.

i read a lot of books at work. sometimes i catch myself doing something they are describing on the page. for instance "she cast her eyes down and to the left as she sighed in an effort to seem confused." did you just do it? be honest. did ya? did ya? as much as i'm loving getting all this page time lately, this whole acting thing is a little bit dangerous. what if someone was walking by as i read "she tilted her head back and laughed a wild, evil laugh!" scary. or maybe"she immediately stopped what she was doing and popped it, locked it and dropped it to show her excitement!" .... okay, that one might be cool.

*i'm on page 2. anyone read it?

Never watched Jersey shore and proud of it!

It's still weird to me to think that I'm an avid reader but I am!

Love the picture. So so accurate. I do the same thing when I read. Especially when I read something like Jane Eyre. Hm...

reading is my one talent. i know it's not a talent but i don't have any other talents and i spend a lot of time reading, so i consider it as such. i feel sorry for people that don't like to read.

Being an English major and all I have to agree 100% with that picture! I'm such a book nerd it's not even funny so I know exactly where you are coming from!

I love this pic. All kinds. I do the same thing too, especially when a book says a character says something a certain way. I can't help saying it under my breath the way I'd think it would sound. Sometimes I have to try a few times to get it right. Sometimes husb catches me and its awkward.
