Can “literary lifestyle” even be defined?
Is it cozy blankets, sweetly spiced lattes, and you alone with a long novel? Maybe it’s a raucous group of friends debating the latest bestseller over a cheese-and-wine-laden table? Or perhaps it’s a small bookshop bursting from every cranny with bookish treasures?
Maybe you’re not sure how to define it and need a few concrete examples? No worries, I’ve got you!
You may be living a literary lifestyle if…
- You’ve learned how to transform spare minutes in your day into a reading routine.
- When you move to a new area, your priorities are finding a new book club, a new bookstore, and a new home — in that order!
- You choose a cookbook because the author is as good with a story as they are with food.
- Your collection of carrier bags is a visual itinerary of every bookstore you’ve ever visited.
- You don’t dread your commute because…audiobooks, duh!
- You’ve visited at least one place just because you first discovered it in a book.
- While others are stalking the Target aisles in search of the perfect seasonal wreath, you’re searching the bookstore down the block for the perfect seasonal read.
- You research (and pop into!) the most interesting bookstores along your route when you travel.
- You’ve become bookish besties with at least one person because you both love the same book.
- The local librarians and booksellers know your name — and which shelves you’re most likely browsing.
- Everyone else’s clutter makes you crazy, but your stacks of books are indispensable home decor elements (plus, those stacks make grabbing your next read easy-peasy!).
- You’ve encouraged at least one person in your life to read more because you “lead by example.”
- Your Instagram feed is a Who’s Who of #bookstagram fame (Friends? We’re supposed to follow friends??).
- You sit beside your partner pretending to watch that action movie, but instead, your hair strategically covers your earbuds because you’d rather listen to your book.
- Your reading almost always makes you want to talk to someone, learn something more, or take a literary field trip! Hmmm, that sounds like the Words On Location Twist!
