Top Ten Tueday: Bookish Confessions

Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by The Broke and the Bookish and this week's topic is:
Top Ten Bookish Confessions

1. I am a book hoarder. I do read all of my review books in a timely manner and ultimately, I do read all of the books that I own --no, really, I've read them all at least once. However, I'm really, really bad about getting rid of books. In an ideal world I'd have bookshelves all over the house--but as it stands, all my books are in stacks on the floor in my room. 
2. When I buy books from a bookstore, I pick out pristine copies. I hate it when brand new copies are: ripped, slightly bent, etc.
3. I have to change up what I read. If I read two books with similar plots back to back, I'm much more likely to get my plots mixed up. Yes, books start to run together (for me) when they're all really similar. That's not to say that I don't enjoy all of them, I just get my plots confused. 
4. Sometimes you have to jog my memory. If you mention a title and it sounds familiar to me, you'll have to mention the plot (or some of the story) to me in order for me to remember if I've read the book or not. Maybe I've read it or maybe I've just heard about it before. 
5. I can't stand dust jackets. I love hardcovers to death, but I absolutely hate dust jackets--because they're constantly sliding up and down the book when I'm reading it. I do remove them and I love it when the actual hardcover is a color other than black. 
6. I read and eat at the same time. I know, it's not exactly good manners--and I only do it when I'm at home--but I think it's better than watching television while eating (and usually when I do it, it's because I couldn't put the book in question down). 
7. I own a Kindle, but was reluctant about owning one at first. What's on my Kindle? E-galleys. This was probably the best decision that I've made because it means I don't have to read e-galleys on my computer anymore--which would often give me terrible headaches. 
8. I am a speed reader. Which isn't to say that I skim (if I do, it's probably because the plot is dragging), just that I tend to devote a lot of time to reading when I can. On average, it takes me three to four hours (straight) to read through a book. In middle school we had reading groups and books that we had to read and my group blitzed through all of the books (and I'm dead serious when I say this and I mean it in a non-bragging way) because of me.
9. If a book is really, really gripping I literally can't sleep until I finish it. I will toss and turn, the book will plague me, and eventually, I'll stop trying to sleep and finish reading the darn book. 
10. When I was little, I would borrow as many books from the library as possible. It wasn't uncommon to see me come out with the maximum number of books and return sometime later in the week to borrow some more.
