This week over at the Broke and the Bookish the Top Ten Tuesday topic for discussion is:

Ten Bookish Things I Want to Quit

1. Having messy book shelves – needs no explanation
2. Rushing in and taking on more book reviews than I reasonably have time for.  Foolish and as I don’t like to miss a deadline really not a good idea.
3. Being unorganised – I need to keep a schedule – but, let’s face it, I’d have to be organised in the first place even to think of having one, or putting it together!
4. Wanting all the books (see No.2 above)
5. Buying books the second they come out (yes I will wait until the door is unlocked) and then not reading them for months – why, just why?
6. Signing up to anything and everything in terms of emails – where they relate to books and bookish things that is – my emails are a mess.  A big mess.  This is bad because when I’m looking for a really important email – yeah, no chance of finding that little sucker.
7. Letting people loan my books – this is a bad idea.  First, I’m not a library, 2. I don’t keep track and (c) I very rarely see those books again.  ‘goodbye favourite books’ Annoying much.
8. Putting books before people – yes, you all know what I’m talking about so don’t even bother to raise your eyebrows or judge.  Sometimes, If I’m near the end of the book (or even at the beginning) I’m so caught up that I actually don’t want to be social.
9. Not savouring the book as much as I’d like.  Again, I don’t think I’m alone.  Sometimes I’m enjoying a book so much that I will stay up to ridiculous-o-clock, all by myself, to finish it.  This isn’t a good idea really because basically it means I’m racing through the story (not skipping anything I hasten to add).  Then, when I reach the end of a book I really loved I feel bereft – why did I rush to the end when I know that’s how I’m going to feel?
10. Not writing my reviews quickly enough – I don’t like to come back to book reviews after the feelings have gone cold – this is bad for me.  I like to review the book while my emotions are either on a high or in turmoil – or whatever feeling it happens to be – because I want the emotion to come out in the review.

What bad habits do you need to quit???
