Symptoms

People who suffer from Reader’s Distraction usually exhibit the following symptoms:

TBR and TBF (to be finished) stacks that go on for days

Bookmarks in almost every book owned, but never placed toward the end

Weekly or even daily book hauls

The inability to refuse a book sale

Complete ignorance of story conclusions

A leaning tower of bedside books

Repeating book covers on social; always captioned, “Can’t wait to get into this book”

Causes

Reader’s Distraction is often caused by flightiness, an overabundance of good books in the world, and irresistible recommendations from trusted readers.
