- You go grocery shopping in a long formal gown.
- You’re disappointed when you turn sixteen and all that happens is a party.
- You’re being stalked, but it’s okay, because he is so hot!
- You check out new boys in your class for evidence of wings.
- You’re invited to go flying and assume it’s going to be in his arms, not a plane.
- You go to a new town and hope there’s a mysterious bunch of gorgeous guys to fight over you.
- Your parents tell you there’s something they need to discuss with you and you hope they’re going to tell you that you’re a long-lost Faerie/vampire/demon princess.
- You get frustrated because the school 's head cheerleader is actually NICE and isn't accusing you of stealing her boyfriend.
And you really know
you’ve read too much of this stuff when you get a copy of Dracula and cheer for the vampire!
I came across a list of five signs of reading too much YA
fiction on Book Riot blog and thought it such a good idea I couldn’t resist
doing my own list. Thanks, Book Riot!

This list is hilarious. I must admit I'm guilty of many of those attributes. It's kind of hard not to when you eat, sleep and breathe paranormal :)
Which a lot of people do these days, and not only teenagers. Got any more to add to the list? :-)
great list I really love #7 and I can't wait for some of these to happen to me ;)
We can only hope ... ;-) Glad you like it, Helen - got any more to add to the list?
I love it Ms B that is why i have ventured out a bit when reading, i think some part of me was beginning to hope it'd happen ;) love it funny to the max :)
Thando, you read such a wide variety of stuff, I can't keep up with you in my library shopping! You read all the paranormal you like, as long as you keep reading Juliet Marillier and Maureen McCarthy and Melina Marchetta as well! ;-)
Yes! Oh my goodness, this is spot on.

It's just what's obvious! :-) Especially if you've read a lot of these books. Fortunately, girls who read it have enough of a sense of humour to get this post. ;-)
I'm thinking of a post that begins with "You know you're a princess when..."
Or maybe "You know you're a hero when..." Even funnier might be:"You know you're a sidekick when...
So many choices, so little time! ;) You know you're a hero when... Your parents are carried off by a villain, your home burns down, everyone is trying to get a mysterious object you've been handed by a dying tramp and can't get rid of and you discover that you're the chosen one for a mysterious order of Guardians of something or other...Yes, possibilities there...
