Trapped in Bath Tub (TIBT) Award
 |
| No shame in my bubble bath game--books that kept me TIBT (or up all night). No books or rubber duckies were harmed by the prop bubbles in the picture. And my mom tells me I am the only one in the whole world who gets trapped in the bath tub while reading books. Please tell me if this happens to you as well. Thank you and enjoy your bath time. |
A TIBT book is a book that is so suspenseful, nail-biting-causing, and/or cliff-hangery that if you start reading it while you're taking a bubble bath, you will get trapped in the bathtub long after the water is cold and the bubbles have dissolved--but you CAN'T get out of the bathtub and stop reading because the book is that good. In some instances, you have to re-fill the bath water with warm water until the water heater runs out of water, and then you'll just freeze.
Alternatively, this is the book that you can't stop reading even if the time is 2 a.m. and you have to get up for work early in the morning the next day (but you have an irrational feeling that if you stop reading, another main character will be shot OR you know someone is going to die in your book because you've read spoilers and you can't stop reading it anyway because you want to see how this character dies because you enjoy torturing yourself. Feel free to click on those links to see which books literally kept me up all night).
