First World Book Problems!
What is your complaint?

Mine is that I hate when a character you are supposed to hate shares my name. I keeping damning myself.

SnShne322 · March 2014

Hand cramps from trying to one hand a brand new, impossibly large paper back with a stiff spine.

MrsJenE · March 2014

When H decides he wants to have a conversation about something and I only have 20 pages left in a book.

WillyH19 · March 2014

When all of my library holds come in at the same time and I have too many books to read.

booknerd226 · March 2014

When I have so many books that I have nowhere to put them all.

booneybear · March 2014

Not being able to run away with my book boyfriends.

dmlk413 · March 2014

Having to decide between sleep and finishing a book.

RiverPlate · March 2014

Not being able to multi-task while reading. I hate it that I can watch TV and knit, cook, clean, hold a conversation, etc. but I can't do any of these things while reading.

If I could get into audio books I guess it would solve my problem, but I find that I don't pay attention and only know what's going on half the time.

jenndawnp · March 2014

When my life gets in the way of my reading time, like right now because of our move, but I'm getting my big bookcase back and I'm so excited!

mrsvedo · March 2014

When my Kindle dies and I have to read on my phone until I can get to a charger.

josie402 · March 2014

When I max out the number of holds I can place on e-books. Then I max them out on my kids' library cards.

sneetches · March 2014

When my library wants me to change my library card, but I have the old number memorized.

SusieBW · March 2014

When I fall asleep reading and either the sound of the book hitting the floor or the book hitting me in the face wakes me up.

Adjudi-Kate · March 2014

When I read an amazing book only to discover at the END that it is part of a trilogy. And the second book hasn't been written yet.

Adjudi-Kate · March 2014

Also, when a hardcover library book doesn't fit in my favorite purse.

Also when I find an error in a book I'm really loving.

This was me last night. I was trying to prop it on a pillow, hold it open with my phone...

We just did some rearranging in my office and adjusting our space plan. As a result there are two empty bookshelves. As a "joke" I offered to buy them. I think my boss might take me up on that, but I actually have nowhere to put them.

sfgiantsjo · March 2014

Finishing an amazing book, and not being able to get into anything else for a week or two because I just wasn't ready to leave that amazing book's world yet.

That's part two of my problem. No room for more bookcases.

When my hands fall asleep from holding my book up in bed.

Ugh, this happens so often. Pins and needles SUCK.

84Lauren · March 2014

When I'm reading in public and a stranger asks me "What are you reading?"

Oh, it's called Fuck Off and Leave Me Alone. It's really good.

sweetc129 · March 2014

When I can't start a library e-book right away and I'm only half way through when it's up for renewal, but when I hit renew I'm informed there is a waiting list and I can't renew and can only place a hold .

I don't think I can finish 300 pages before 4:03 today, especially because I'm at work.

Turn off your wifi on your ereader, this works on my Kindle and buys me an extra day or so to finish up my book.

jjr1214 · March 2014

When somebody wants to make plans and all I want to do is sit at home and read but that isn't a good enough excuse to say no.

I mostly read on my ipad.

julie37619 · March 2014

The stress of having so many books I desperately want to read RIGHT NOW and knowing that I can't possibly read them all at once.

booneybear · March 2014

The fact that my library ladder is stationary and does not roll (a la Beauty in the Beast style)
