Directions: Mark an ‘x’ for each statement that applies to you.
[ ] 1. I have dropped a book on my face. More than once.
[ ] 2. On social media, I follow writers, not singers and movie stars.
[ ] 3. “Unputdownable” IS a word.
[ ] 4. My idea of a great weekend is starting a new book.
[ ] 5. My fingers type “Google” into the web address bar but somehow I keeping winding up at Goodreads.
[ ] 6. If I leave the house without a book I feel naked I have a mini-panic attack. I never leave the house without a book.
[ ] 7. I freely admit I’ve hugged, kissed and/or lovingly patted a book.
[ ] 8. My favorite thing in my wallet is my library card.
[ ] 9. I plan road trips just to listen to audio books.
[ ] 10. While reading a book I am oblivious to the outside world. People can shout my name, gesture rudely, but short of bodily injury, I will not notice them.
[ ] 11. I’m happy if there’s a long wait at the mechanic/doctor’s office/airport because it means I get to read.
[ ] 12. When putting together a travel checklist, my first item is always: “books to read.”

If you answered “yes” to any of the items on this checklist you are officially a book junkie. For further confirmation, try this test too: “How to Tell if You’re a Book Junkie.”
Happy reading!
