I overheard this conversation between two girls, where one didn’t want to lend the other a book because she liked to keep her books in mint condition (“you FOLD the corners ? Oh god no”). Like girl what ? (to each their own I guess??) surely that is the joy of books- for these pages to be passed around, shared, worn and tattered. For stories to be read and re-read, each time with new rips in the page or the ever satisfying feeling of folding a corner. Scars of your journey with the story.
I want the book to FEEL how much I loved reading it. To be loved is to be changed !! i will happily crack the spine of this fine novel and enjoy it !! Read it and weep sad book girl 🤚🏻

I like when a book has some scribbles or folded corners from a previous life. It makes me feel less anxious about keeping it pristine and it's honestly pretty romantic to sit and think about who held it before you.

crack the spine, fold the corners, underline pretty sentences, leave your thoughts in margins, circle the words you don't understand. make the book feel loved.

if it’s not a little tattered and fucked up I can’t really mess with it. I like the weathered look, things written in the margins. it shows me it got the love and attention it deserved.

This is such an excellent gesture. So friendly and wholesome. A little ‘here ya go buddy’ good deed done. Simple little kindnesses
