21 Funny Book-related Things to Be Thankful for

 

It's that time of year again: Thanksgiving, when we all start thinking more about the things we're thankful for. We're grateful for a lot of things, some of them funny and, yes, a little off the wall.

When you're going around the table naming things you are grateful for this Thanksgiving, be sure to try out some of our ideas!

I am thankful for . . .

1. My broken ereader, because now I have an excuse to get a newer, better one for Christmas.

2. Toilet paper, which serves as a great bookmark when I've lost all my other ones (and doubles as a tissue when needed during the story).

3. My imagination, which makes books so much better than the movies.

4. Holidays, which mean more time to read books!

5. That I dropped the slice of pizza in my lap instead of on my book.

6. My phone, so I can use the backlight to read a book at night.

7. Ink. And paper. For the books, of course.

8. Sand, because it reminds me of reading a book on the beach.

9. A cluttered house, which means more stacks of books to read.

10. Opposable thumbs; seriously, holding a book without them would be incredibly difficult.

11. My children, who give me a great excuse to revisit my favorite children's books.

12. Microwaves, so I can heat up a hot drink or leftovers for dinner and get back to reading right away.

13. Netflix, so my spouse can be entertained while I finish reading that book.

14. Authors' imaginations; there's only so much reality I can cope with.

15. The bathroom, so I can have somewhere to escape when I want to finish just one more chapter.

16. Hide-and-seek because it takes my kids 30 minutes to find me AND gives me time to read a chapter behind the couch.

17. An electric fireplace that is constantly breaking so I can save money on heat bills and exercise my imagination when I curl up to my "warm" fireplace with a book.

18. My husband when he takes the kids on fun nights out so I can secretly read in peace.

19. Books so I can go on adventures I can't afford and experience falling in love with my dream man.

20. Memes about reading, because, seriously, I can't get enough of reading.

21. Two hands—one for chocolate and one to hold my book.
