I deal with book shame.

[kairos12]

Whenever I'm not reading Tolstoi, Nietzsche, Camus, or Sartre (yeah sure) I feel compelled to hide my current read of popular fiction. Does anyone know where I get some old time brown book covers we used to have to cover textbooks?

Signed. I read at home now. Alone.

1. Use e books. No book covers needed. 🤣

I read 2-3 fiction books daily & don't care what anyone thinks of my habit. Lol

3. My Kindle is a work around I do use.

Shame always has a backstory. I knew a librarian once. Checked out books with her for years. Once she has checking my books out and as she looked at each title she proclaimed outloud "trash, trash."

LOL. At least it didn't cause me to start stealing books. LOL.

5. Shame on that librarian!

Reading is always good!

2. Make your own out of paper bags.

4. I always used brown grocery bags for textbooks

Nowadays, that probably means a trip to Trader Joe’s.

Of course, I’ve got so many (can’t make a font big enough to convey the proper scope) actual books that I limit myself to my Kindle now. Lots to be embarrassed about (I pretty much restrict myself to freebie book lists because I read a shit ton) but it’s easy enough to hide my phone if necessary.

Have you considered making a bed fort and a flashlight to hide the really embarrassing stuff?

6. OMG, i hadn't thought about making book covers from paper bags in years!

7. Yup. Paper grocery bags.

Thanks for the memories...
