📚🤣 POV: You walk past a bookshop…

Normal person: keeps walking. 🚶‍♀️

Me: FACE PRESSED AGAINST THE GLASS LIKE I’M INVESTIGATING A CRIME SCENE. 👀📚😂

“Hmm… what’s that book over there?”

Presses face harder.

“OH MY GOSH, IS THAT A NEW ARRIVAL?!”

At this point, the shop windows know me personally. 🤣🫣📖

Book lovers don’t window-shop. We conduct surveillance. 😂📚

😂 POV: Your husband wants an explanation for the mysterious disappearance of his money…

Me: pulls out marriage certificate

Him: “What does that have to do with anything?!”

Me: “Exhibit A: We’re married. Exhibit B: I bought books. Exhibit C: You should’ve read the fine print.” 🤣📚💅

Honestly, he knew the risks when he said “I do.” 😂

Pick-a-Book: where your bookshelf grows… and somehow the bank balance doesn’t. 🤣📖

📚 POV: You’ve had to leave your books unattended for several hours…

You’re out in the real world, pretending to be a functioning adult, while your brain is back home like:

“I wonder what my books are doing.” 🥺😂

Suddenly everything reminds you of reading.

A quiet café? Book time. ☕
A cosy chair? Book time.
Someone carrying a bag? Probably books. 👀📚

Honestly, I think I need to go home and check on them. 🤣❤️

📚 POV: Your husband wants to discuss what you just bought at the bookshop…

Him: “Look me in the eyes.”

Me: Absolutely.

My eyes: Let’s look at literally anything except the man holding the credit-card statement. 👀🤣

Because technically, I didn’t overspend…

I simply invested in my emotional, intellectual and literary wellbeing. 😂📖💅

And honestly? That sounds very responsible to me. 🤣
