I’m known by my friends for the uh… transformation that my books go through when I read them. To me it’s a sign of love. Annotations, highlights, bent pages, cracked spines, dog eared pages, crunchy from being in the room while I shower, knicks or pieces of tape on the cover from being in my back pocket or my purse.

Im gonna die one day and I’m taking my books with me lol.

I used to care when I was younger, like really care to keep my books pristine. Then I got into grad school and whoooo boy is that not an option anymore. I buy 95% used books and lots of them in foreign languages that are source materials for my research so. Can’t be too precious anymore.
