Love this! I’m with you on the perfect location AND on the crying a lot ha-ha! The better question for me is when do I NOT cry over a book. Tea and coffee are the perfects “snacks” for reading. I have never really been a snacker when it comes to reading.

First and foremost, I love you, too! ❤
Second, I've got some thoughts:
1) Yes! OMG yes to the miscommunication issues frequently plagued in books. WHY will none of these "chosen ones"/grown adults TALK to each other?? Freaking annoying.
2) The last page reading confession…I am shook.
3) I also have ZERO qualms with the "let out a breath" thing because I know I have frequently claimed to have done the same so the haters will need to roll their eyes at me too!
4) You not saying caprese salad and/or popsicles for fave snack makes me feel like the whole world is a lie. 😉
5) Thanks for doing this tag. Still heart you.

And I am with you on reading graphic novels in the store.. eeeh, I might have read books there. But look, I was a backpacker and there was this neat little cafe in the store and you were allowed to read the books there.. no one complained! 😀

I also sometimes read the last page of a book, although this is a habit I haven’t done much in the past year or so I used to do it ALL THE TIME. Which is freaking weird because I hate spoilers and refuse to read/watch things that have been spoiled and this is essentially a giant spoiler who am I?
