When did reading become a… trend? I don’t know why or how, but I’m kind of glad it did. Folks all over the internet are bonding over their favorite page-turners, and forming little online communities around the novels they love. People are buying Kindles at a breakneck pace and even getting accessories to trick them out. There are thousands of pages on Instagram and TikTok full of hyper-specific recommendations, and so many women I know have lost at least a few days inside the depths of something written by Sarah J. Maas. 

There’s a tweet about this trend that I think about a lot: 

every adult woman I know is reading like they’re trying to qualify for a pizza party and every guy I know owes DraftKings $5000

A sweeping generalization, yes. But I’ll be a monkey’s uncle if that isn’t also true. So to celebrate the first part of that stereotype, here are some book memes for the fiction lover in your life.
