My t-shirts can basically be broken down into four categories:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><em>Reading <\/em>(You knew this was coming.)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em>Boy Mom<\/em> (I\u2019ve got 2 super cute, loud, smart and curious boys.)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em>Race shirts (<\/em>I\u2019ve run 80 races from marathons to 5ks, so I have a huge collection in this category.)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em>Church shirts <\/em>(My church designs shirts for various events and donates the profits to local charities. They also have a clearance event once or twice a year where the shirts are $5, and it\u2019s hard to pass on that.)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Without further ado, I wanted to share some of my favorite reading shirts. Note: I&#8217;ve tried to find similar shirts on Amazon in case you&#8217;re interested, but styles have changed from the time I bought them so there are minor differences from the shirts I own and ones linked in Amazon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Abibliophobia<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"856\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/readersgottaread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/thumbnail-856x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-78\" srcset=\"http:\/\/readersgottaread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/thumbnail-856x1024.jpg 856w, http:\/\/readersgottaread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/thumbnail-251x300.jpg 251w, http:\/\/readersgottaread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/thumbnail-768x919.jpg 768w, http:\/\/readersgottaread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/thumbnail.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 856px) 100vw, 856px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The fear is real. I try to always have 2-4 books on deck so that when I finish a book, I can immediately start another. But sometimes I finish a book faster than I expected, and I find myself without any books in my To Be Read stack, and the ones from the library are all on a wait-list, and I start to feel panicky.&nbsp; My usual response in this dilemma is to login to Thriftbooks and buy $15 worth of books (for the free shipping), but that doesn\u2019t put a book in my hand right now. So, then I think about re-reading a book I already own, or I\u2019ll make an emergency trip to Goodwill to find something. Note to self: never let the TBR pile drop below 3 books. <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3D3dF6b\"> https:\/\/amzn.to\/3D3dF6b<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Readers Gonna Read<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"789\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/readersgottaread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/thumbnail4-789x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-79\" srcset=\"http:\/\/readersgottaread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/thumbnail4-789x1024.jpg 789w, http:\/\/readersgottaread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/thumbnail4-231x300.jpg 231w, http:\/\/readersgottaread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/thumbnail4-768x997.jpg 768w, http:\/\/readersgottaread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/thumbnail4.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 789px) 100vw, 789px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I wore this to Reading in the Schools Day at my son\u2019s school his Kindergarten year. The kids loved it. And some could even read it, which made it better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I originally bought this on Jane.com, but it\u2019s no longer available. Amazon has a similar design. <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/4inhsu0\">https:\/\/amzn.to\/4inhsu0<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Bookmarks are for Quitters<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"811\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/readersgottaread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/thumbnail3-811x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-80\" srcset=\"http:\/\/readersgottaread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/thumbnail3-811x1024.jpg 811w, http:\/\/readersgottaread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/thumbnail3-238x300.jpg 238w, http:\/\/readersgottaread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/thumbnail3-768x970.jpg 768w, http:\/\/readersgottaread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/thumbnail3.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 811px) 100vw, 811px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is a t-shirt section at one of our local Goodwill stores with t-shirts for sale for $2.99. If you get the color of the week tag, it\u2019s half off for $1.50. I love browsing this section and have scored some really cute shirts. I was delighted to find a reading shirt \u2013 and I snagged it for $1.50! Huzzah! Does it even count if you don\u2019t say how little you paid for something?&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3XoLzZW\">https:\/\/amzn.to\/3XoLzZW<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>So Many Books So Little Time<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"848\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/readersgottaread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/2-848x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-81\" srcset=\"http:\/\/readersgottaread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/2-848x1024.jpg 848w, http:\/\/readersgottaread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/2-248x300.jpg 248w, http:\/\/readersgottaread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/2-768x927.jpg 768w, http:\/\/readersgottaread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/2.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 848px) 100vw, 848px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I resonate so deeply with this shirt\u2019s sentiment. I have a stack of books by my bed with my immediate TBR pile. I have a back-up stack in my closet with honorable mentions that are to be read in case the library has nothing and I\u2019m waiting on a new book to arrive in the mail. And I have an Amazon Wish List with 50+ books I want to read. My retirement dreams include a lot of reading. <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3XpkK7L\">https:\/\/amzn.to\/3XpkK7L<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Which shirt is your favorite?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I wear t-shirts pretty much anytime I\u2019m not at work.
