10 Signs That You Suffer from OCRD (Obsessive Compulsive Reading Disorder)

Hey Smiley Faces. I hope you all are having an amazing weekend till now. Today I am going to share with you 10 signs that indicate that you suffer from OCRD or in simple words you are in love with books. I am in love with books so I know what it is to be a book addict. So here we go bookaholics.

1. You love the smell of new books – For a book addict, the smell of new books is the best scent in this entire world. It makes him/her extremely happy. And moreover they keep on buying new books to experience this smell again and again.
2. Bookstores/libraries are heaven for you – A book addict does lose the track of time when he/she is at the bookstore/library, searching for books. The bookstores feel like heaven and you just wanna be there forever or maybe until you find some amazing reads :D
3. You can’t leave a book until you finish reading it – The book lovers are crazy. They can stay up all night just to complete a book. I mean if I am in the middle of an amazing chapter in a book, I will continue reading even if it’s 2 in the morning.
4. You are always on a look out for book sales – Come on who wouldn’t like to get more books for less money. So they always keep searching the internet for online book sales or news papers for bookstore sales.
5. You can lend someone anything except your books – The bookaholics are extremely possessive about their book collection. They refuse to let anyone borrow their books because they consider books as their wealth. Moreover they are afraid that the borrower would damage their book which in turn would give them a heart attack.
6. You give a dozen of instructions to the person who borrows your book – An avid book reader will recite a long list of instructions before anyone who borrows his/her books. If by chance; a book addict lends his book to someone then that someone is a lucky person indeed. But the chance of lending is one in a million.
7. You can use anything as a bookmark – Anything right from a pen to a tiny piece of paper can be used as a bookmark by the book addicts. They consider folding the tip of the page as a bookmark, a serious un- punishable crime.
8. People ask you for book recommendations – It’s natural for people to ask a book addict for book recommendations as he/she knows about a variety of books, new releases and also he/she knows which book is suitable for a non-book addict :D
9. You enter a trance state when you are reading – If reading a book is like meditation for you and it takes you into some other world where you cannot see anything except the book and you can’t hear anything except your mind reading the amazing lines written by the author, you are a die-hard fan of books for sure.
10. Your books are your best friends – If a bookaholic is sad or happy or lost or feeling alone, he/she will read a book. That is because books are his/her best friends or maybe even his/her life.
