1. What is addict with a book all about?
addict with a book covers most, if not all, book and reading content for bookaholics and avid readers. I create book reviews and recommendations, character and plot analyses, book-related articles, bookworm memes, and the likes. I focus more on fiction books when making reviews and analyses. It's basically a Bookblr created by a reader for readers.
2. Why blog about books and reading?
One of the toughest challenges I've faced so far as a beginner blogger was selecting a blog niche. It took me a lot of Googling and brainstorming to come up with addict with a book. I decided to blog about this topic because I'm a total bookworm and I'm extremely passionate about reading. I want to provide more content for readers on Tumblr. Books are an awesome part of our society and I want people to know that.
3. What's with the blog name?
My favorite songwriter Pete Wentz once said that everyone's an addict. We're all addicted to something, and in my blog's case, it's books. The difference between "book addict" and "addict with a book" implies that my fangirl addictions other than books, and I think it's pretty cool.

I will normally post about two to three times a week. However, when my school year starts in late August, my posting time will decrease. I am active every day on Tumblr.
I hope to make you smile and enjoy my beginner blogging content. Whether you're an book fanatic like me or a non-reader, you're welcome! Feel free to dive in the wonderful world of reading.
ok so crying over a book is one of the most prominent sign of compassion for humanity. you’re crying over someone who isn’t really there, doesn’t really exist, but you still feel for them as if you've known them your entire life.

Maybe this is why we read, and why in moments of darkness we return to books: to find words for what we already know.
