Some things transcend all barriers, and the language of book lovers is one of them. If you're a book lover, then you understand some of the struggles and situations that another book lover across the world faces. You could have a long, heartfelt conversation about books and reading from the first meeting. However, if you're like me, sometimes you just don't know what to say to someone who doesn't like books because you're never found the weather that interesting. Maybe that's why so many book lovers are connecting on Tumblr to share their book lover experiences. From the highs of finding a new book you love, to the lows of having to wait for a new book, to the shrinking bank account every time you walk into a bookstore. Check out the Tumblr post below from fellow book lovers.

Dear Sarah James,
That was most enjoyable. And I'm sure the sentiments are echoed in every language in which books are printed.
On the other hand, I would like some enlightenment on what you meant to say in the second sentence of your introduction. You wrote, "then you understand same struggles..." Did you mean to write, "some struggles" or did you mean to write, "the same struggles"?
I have a thought for you. use Grammerly. It will seamlessly insert itself into a lot of your composing software and just point things out which need pointing out. It really helps with both spelling and grammar. Google it to find where you can get it. It's free, so there is no reason to not give it a try.
You don't need to post this comment.
Thank you for listening.

Hi. Thank you for pointing out the mistake. It has been corrected.
Cheers.

This was mostly spot on. I do however, have 4 Kindles AND a truck load of physical books. The Kindles are for away from home reading because the books I like, 2 to 3 inches thick just do not fit in my purse and life is too short to just sit and stare at the wall in the doctor's office.
