As far as people asking me what I'm reading, I definitely have two opinions like the previous poster. On one hand, don't bother me. On the other, I may want to ask that same question of someone else, it may be my next read! I also think people see a book in someone's face and think "opportunity to strike up conversation!" and as someone who believes people are way too closed off and refuse to even be polite to strangers, I am okay with this. (Note, I am not talking about pick-up artists who are trying to get in pants with whatever thing they can find, I'm talking about genuine people who really want to chat and make new friends off common interests!)

. Have I mentioned that I love books
Haaa I'm of two minds. I don't mind being asked, but if you see my nose in a book or pointed at my e-reader.. don't ask… LOL. I'll ask too, but try to follow the same rules.
Both of you guys are right. Although I'm thinking that the reason why I typically get annoyed when people ask me what I'm reading is because 99.9% of the time it's a guy trying to talk to me.

. lol I don't know if I'm being irrational or not.
I don't usually mind when I'm reading a physical book, I get weird when I'm reading on my kindle though, mostly because a some of the time I'm reading stuff that's not actual books (ok, I read fanfic sometimes. whatever.) and I don't want to admit that to like people I work with so I have to come up with a lie at the spur of the moment. *shrugs*

New Book Riot Quarterly teaser posted:
Thoughts????
We’ve already given you one round of hints about what this box will contain. This next clue comes to us in the form of a poem:
We may not dance cheek to cheek
But put your lips to mine and your energy will peak.
Unfolding the day, I’ll stay by your side, quenching your thirst with my contents inside.
My exterior is wrapped with text from the past, that was a little too racy, a little too fast.
Can’t wait till I can be in your hands
And help your love of reading expand.

That new Book Riot spoiler sounds cool! I can't wait for it to be sent out.
I tweeted at Powells and asked if they knew when the next Indiespensable will be released. They said to look for it "very soon" which is good, but also vague. I guess we'll all have to wait a little longer.

I haven't read anything by Siri Hustvedt so I'm excited to get the next installment. Has anyone read Orfeo? I finished it on Saturday and I liked it.

I know right??? Quarterly has some of the worst delays, and absolutely no communication about it.

This is my first book riot box. Anyone remember how long it took from billing to receiving box last time?

A week? Week and a half? I always forget about it til it arrives because I never receive notification from Quarterly. This is the first time I ever received billing notification and I've ordered two quarterly boxes in the past.

UPS just notified me that they delivered a package today.
I wasn't expecting anything else, so I think this might be my Book Riot.
I am working late today and knowing there is this package at home waiting for me is going to make this Friday
afternoon pass even slower (if that's possible).
