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.

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.

I wanna know what past owners of my beloved books thought of the passages!! I want to know what YOU think! Books are meant to be annotated, shared, discussed and loved!!

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 🤚🏻

is the absolute best (with a group of 2-3). I don’t understand why restaurant hosts are hesitant to seat anyone there, that’s where I want to be! I get to spy on the bartender and shoot the shit; it just feels like a more intimate dining experience to me. I don’t care if it’s less formal, bar seating will always be my favorite way to dine.
