DOs and DON'Ts with a book worm



Do:
- Take an interest in what they are reading. Ask about the plot, let them vent. Even if you're not that interested, it'll make their eyes glisten because FINALLY someone is asking about it!
- When you go shopping together, just let them roam the bookshops. Go buy a snack in the meantime!
- Compliment their book collection. A book worm's pride and joy is their bookshelves, so please remind us how awesome it looks.
- Say how amazing our dedication to finish books are. We live to finish adventures and can sometimes need a pick-me-up if we're stuck with a book we're not really into. 
- Offer to hold our bag if we're out for a long period of timeDragging around a miniature library is hard....
- Bear with us when it's midnight and we still haven't been able to put down the book. It happens even when we have to be up at dawn.

                                      Don't:

- Make fun of how much we get into our books. Books can be heavy and can smash your nose back into your skull.
- Complain about how long we spen
d in a book shop. We're not forcing you to look at books with us, go get us a snack, geez!
- Say we have too many books. There's no such thing as too many books. How 
dare you, it's like saying you have too many children!
- Tell us we're insane for rea
ding so much. Well excuse us for expanding our vocabularies and feeding our brains with information and imagination!
- Mess with our bookshelves for fun. Most of us have very specific systems, and you're just waking up the dragon and asking to get your head bitten off because of a "joke".
- Turn the light off before we finish a chapter. We get you want to sleep but you know what you got yourself into! 


So, this is a pre warning before getting into any kind of relation with a book worm ;-)
