You might be a book slut if...

I've already admitted I'm a plot whore. Now it turns out I'm a book slut too!

This quiz comes courtesy of Jean Oram from Jeanoram.com and a moderator at AgenQuery Connect.

"In my desire to help others, I have created a quiz with some of the common symptoms of book slut behavior. If you have one or more of these symptoms, you too, may be a book slut."

Does this sound like you…

1. You read more than one book at a time, sometimes even more than one in a day.

2. You can’t pass a table of discounted books without feeling that you might be missing out on something really good.

3. You belong to at least one book club.

4. As you are nearing the end of one book, you are already thinking of the next one.

5. It stresses you out that there are more delicious books in the world than you can possibly read.

6. You will read anything. If it is a book, you’ll read it. And probably even enjoy it.

7. Book workers, i.e. booksellers and librarians, know you by name.

8. For you, reading isn’t just an in-bed-before-you-fall-asleep activity, you will also read in public if the opportunity arises.

9. You carry books with you–just in case you find an opportunity for a quickie.

10. You try to hook others by gifting books or by promoting your favourites by saying things like, “Everyone is reading this and they love it. Just try it.”

11. You will take a free book even if you aren’t interested in it.

12. There aren’t enough bookshelves in your house to hold all your books.

13. Friends describe you as an ‘avid reader.’

If you replied ‘that sounds like me’ to 1-2 of the above, you have begun exhibiting signs of being a book slut. There is no immediate cause for concern.

If you replied ‘that sounds like me’ to 3-5 of the above, you are in significant danger of developing into a book slut. If symptoms worsen, seek support. You do not need to go through this alone.

If you replied ‘that sounds like me’ to 6-9 of the above, you are a book slut. Seek support immediately.

If you replied ‘that’s sounds like me’ to 10-13 of the above, you are a book slut of the highest order. There is no hope for you. Embrace your book slutishness and repeat with me (loud and proud), “I am a book slut!”
