23. Once you recommend a book to a friend, you keep bugging them about it.

(I gave The Worst Journey in the World to a coworker to read and when I asked if she was enjoying it she was like "I haven't read it in a couple days, it's such a long book and I'm just thinking about stopping for now." Yeah, I died a little inside LOL)

45. You’ve given books as gifts for every occasion: birthdays, Valentine’s Day, graduations, Tuesdays…
46. Whenever someone asks what your favorite book is, your brain goes into overdrive and you can’t choose just one. You end up naming twelve books. (That's easy, I love when someone asks what my favorite book is and I get to happily say "The Worst Journey in the World!!" haha)

I got 27, if I counted correctly lol. Nice :P
Today I helped Denise take books to the dump (yeah it makes me sad, but you can't really do anything with moldy books :()..we've gotten so many books in we took THREE loads down there, and there's still more to take to the dump. We got rid of literally over a ton of books..impressive. Now I'm exhausted and need a shower LOL (it's in the 80s out *dies*)
Today a customer asked me how long I've worked at the bookstore and when I said nine years he was like "have you been working here since you were 10??" Haha what! He said I looked 25 when I told him I was 28 :P
Mom and I were both completely shocked when we opened the app and saw TWO Pikachus appear! (They're pretty rare.) The game has been out a year today (that went fast!!), so they put a special hat on Pikachu to celebrate, and made them so they'll show up more for awhile..nice!
Bold = new (I didn't get any new "species" or whatever they're called lol, but special Pikachu made me want to update anyway :P)
