I relate so much

The life of a book lover isn't always as simple as falling in love with your best friend, taking down the evil government, and they all live happily ever after.

It can be a cruel world out there! If you relate to any of the struggles below, we're with you. The struggle is real. Too too real.

1. When you lend your favorite book to a friend and they never return it.

No, no, I definitely never wanted that back.

2. Or when they do return it but the pages are dog-eared.

I thought we were friends.

via Giphy

3. When someone thinks your book doubles as a coaster.

Could you, like, not?

via Giphy

4. When you get really into a new series and you find out that the new book doesn't come out until next year.

Umm . . . excuse me?

via Giphy

5. When you're rereading your favorite book (again) and you get a paper cut.

First of all, how dare you? Second, I thought we had something special.

via Giphy

6. When the audiobook narrator can't pronounce the main character's name.

Don't they give you some sort of pronunciation guide or something?

via Giphy

7. Or when you find out you've been saying the main character's name wrong.

Wait, it's not Her-mee-own?

via Giphy

8. When someone sees what book you're reading and spoils the big twist.

..........

via Giphy

9. When someone watches the movie before they read the book.

Look at your life, look at your choices.

via Giphy

10. When you finish an amazing book.

Wait, it's over?

via Giphy

11. When you have a whole pile waiting to be read, and now you have to pick ONE.

Nope, can't decide, shrinking down my books and taking them all with me.

What about the wind?

Not everyone loves reading outside-getting the right light, figuring out the angle of the sun, the bugs getting into your pages-but we're here to tell you why you should make your book your companion for your next day in the great outdoors:

1. More Vitamin D

Out in the sun (and even in the shade), you get a dose of vitamin D, which boosts your mood. It might even make you want to sing while you read . . .

2. Grounding with Nature

"Grounding" with nature has been shown to stimulate greater activity in areas of the brain that are responsible for building empathy, love, and clear decision-making. In other words, just being outside under a rustling tree or on the grass can help you stay grounded, literally.

3. Picnic!

Reading outside is the perfect excuse to also pack a picnic-picnic baskets double as book bags, don't ya know?

4. Less Stress

By taking an activity you would usually do indoors outside (such as reading a book), you expand your world and begin to mentally imprint the presence of nature into more aspects of your life, which can decrease stress and anxiety. Are you skipping with joy yet?

5. Natural Light

The more natural light, the better. Artificial light can cause nearsightedness, so your eyes will thank you for the screen break. If you like to read on an e-reader, don't worry-many use e-ink technology so you don't have to deal with that annoying glare.

6. More Sleep

Sunshine regulates your internal clock so you can enjoy improved sleep when you get home. And the more sleep you get, the more awake you'll feel, so you can read more! See where we'er going with this?

7. More Social

Expand the fun of a book club by meeting up with fellow readers outdoors on an extra-large blanket with snacks. Sunshine and books and friends AND snacks?! Happy dance all around.
