    Font - Shannon Stirone @shannonmstirone I think there should be a dating app full of men who read books. And all the photos are of them reading and pictures of their books and then I can find the dream guy. Maybe I should make this. 12:00 AM - Dec 20, 2022

    Font - Tim Busse @timbusse Replying to @shannonmstirone Before I met my partner, I was on the eHarmony site. They had a question about how many books I had read in the last twelve months. The MOST books read choice was ten books or more. The best matches for me had also read ten or more books I. The last year and this one question 2:02 PM - Dec 20, 2022

    Font - Shakey Joe @ShakeyJoe Replying to @shannonmstirone Just a thought, but maybe make the questions centered around books too. Like "what character from a book would you most like to be", or "what book best describes your life right now" sort of ones. Anyone can take a pic holding a book after all. Just saying.. 3:16 PM Dec 20, 2022

    Font - Stephen Luntz @sluntz Replying to @shannonmstirone This would have been amazing for me when I was single. Not only would it have greatly increased my chance of getting dates, the incentive might have prevented the dramatic reduction in books I read after I got a smart phone. 6:17 AM - Dec 20, 2022

I made fun of him for it so he bought a book... but then he said he couldn't read it because the font was too small? Anyway yeah there should be an app for this 8:46 PM Dec 20, 2022

    Font - Vicki Boardman @vickiboardman Replying to @shannonmstirone There is an app I haven't logged into in years that matched you based on your shared music taste, from streaming data. If nothing else, I thought it'd be great to go to concerts together. Instead it became men quizzing me about whether I was a true fan of my favorite bands. 9:47 AM Dec 20, 2022

    Font - Wendy Fambro @Wendydabbles Replying to @shannonmstirone I'm suspicious of how many men on dating apps say their favorite book is Catcher in the Rye. My translation: he hasn't picked up a book since the 9th grade. 9:00 PM Dec 20, 2022

    Font - Kayt Sukel @kaytsukel Replying to @shannonmstirone I would have loved that when I was dating. One of my first questions during messaging was, "What was the last book you read?" So often reply was, "I don't have time for books." Thank you, NEXT. 1:16 AM - Dec 20, 2022

    Font - Athena Lathos @athena_lathos Replying to @shannonmstirone I was on Tinder when they had just implemented a Facebook integration highlighting which books/etc. you had in common. I had mixed feelings about the whole thing, but it was kind of nice when guys started a conversation like "Hey! Blood Meridian!" instead of just "hey." 8:13 AM - Dec 20, 2022

    Font - Jami @TownBlvd Replying to @shannonmstirone I *getttt* this! But also want to give a quick plug for differences: my husband has read maybe two halves (ha!) of fiction novels since we met (7 yes) Very few nonfiction books. I, on the other hand, have read more than 30 novels this year. He reads a ton of longform articles.. 5:55 PM Dec 20, 2022

    Font - Mikala Jamison @notjameson Replying to @shannonmstirone Idk, considering my husband reads 545-page books about like, the history of Roman coins, I'm not sure I would have found him this way 6:44 PM Dec 20, 2022
