10 Unequivocal Reasons to ALWAYS Carry a book with you EVERYWHERE. #AlwaysCarryABook

I have come to a very disturbing conclusion. Not everybody carries a book with them at all times.

*LE GASP*

I know! Shocking right?! I don't understand why this is, haven't they ever watched Gilmore Girls?

 Rory Gilmore is my personal hero. She ALWAYS carried books along with her, everywhere, even on dates! And it wasn't because she expected the event to be boring, or turn sour, it was because you never know what might happen. Never, so you better come prepared with a lengthy book that can surely occupy your time and take you out of your predicament, be it boredom or else.

So I've compiled some of MY reasons to bring books everywhere, and I strongly encourage you guys to add MORE on the comments. It would be really nice to see I am not the only weirdo around here who had to buy a bigger badass Converse purse just because my books didn't fit in my old small one.

10. Don't believe your friends and family, parties can be dull...

...specially if you know nobody, or if you are going to a family event that is stock full of third cousins and lots of creepy uncles you didn't even know existed. When I first started reading the Harry Potter series (oh, the good old days) I was so invested in the books I took them with me everywhere I went. Once I took it to a family gathering, to this day I don't remember anything about said gathering but I do remember the story. I also remember that my mother got annoyed at me because I wasn't "socialising" with the other human beings in the apartment (I went and hid at the car because they were too damn noisy). What can I say, it was Harry Potter! Also, the event was boring and I didn't know anybody there so sue me. In instances like these, believe me, follow Harry's example and hide under the stairs... and read your book.

9. What if the electricity goes out?!?!

I know, scary stuff!! This also happened to me quite recently. My friend were complaining about their Ipad's battery draining, etc, and I was all like "PAPERBACK COPY!!! Can't hear you, reading."

8. The end of the world is here! Aliens are attacking, humanity is doomed!!

... and you are curled up with a very good book. If reading IN THE AFTER taught me anything is this: books are going to be your sole source of entertainment when the zombie overlords attack and take away the electricity and the modern world pretty much collapses on itself.

BTW IN THE AFTER is such a good book, you should definitely read it. Creepy and exhilarating.



7. You are incredibly sad over something to the point where you might cry in public.

No one can quite cry like a Winchester.

Oh look what you got here right in your purse, a nice interesting plot to avoid such public humiliation! Nothing while quite take your mind off things like a good book (if you are unsure if what you are reading at the moment will keep your mind off things always carry extras either in paperback form or e-book).

6. You are incredibly pissed about something to the point where you might punch someone in public.

Unless you got a slap bet with a friend you might want to avoid hitting people in public. So why don't you instead focus your anger on the bitch/ass who is trying to ruin your main character's life?

5. You have a menial chore that could be improve by awarding yourself with one. more. chapter.

Let's face it, we are not all Disney princesses who can keep a smile on their faces while doing meaningless chores. So award yourself every time you get something done! Clean the cobwebs? One more chapter! Who knows? Maybe you might end up doing more work (this is a lie, you will most likely drop any work in order to finish your book, you have been warned).

4. You need a chapter break from life.

Sometimes things are just too much to bear. If you need a distraction from life, from a fight, from searching for your missing kid, grab a book.

3. You are potentially getting robbed but your purse is so heavy with that copy of The Deathly Hallows that the robber just gives up.

... stranger things have been known to happen? If not then HIT HIM IN THE HEAD WITH IT. It will hurt, trust me. Consider carrying an extra hardcover with you at all times as a security measurement.

2. You need some advice to give your friend but you don't know what to say exactly.

Books can give very good advice indeed.

1. Because you just love books.

Books ARE magic.

Maybe you don't need "excuses" to carry a book with you whenever you go. If you don't then you are awesome, and screw anybody else who says otherwise. You are the best, keep it up.

PS; In other news I am still extremely sad about Cory Monteith. Still can't believe it happened. #InDenial
