This is going to be controversial in some circles, but books are not sacred objects unless you want them to be. Dog ear them. Write notes directly in the margins. Highlight, underline, put a sticker in the front. Dip the edges in your bath water, in your beach sand, in your tea. Live with it!

There are thousands of copies of the average book, and if you ever ruined yours you could buy another for $3 off ThriftBooks or something. Unless you are specifically working with rare first edition printings, it’s fine to just treat a book like something that you own. Take it with you everywhere and if you lose or forget it just shrug because it’s really, truly, not a big deal. Love books hard, they are just bundles of paper and the story that you adore is always safe even if you treat your paperback like a doorstop. It’s fine.

hands are wonderful things | i rearranged the stack of books on the plant stand beside my desk because my autumn reads were not getting read. switched ‘em out and picked some of my prettiest books for a little ‘last of 2019′ pile

I sure do love carrying a book round with me into various rooms to trick myself into feeling like I’m reading it more than I actually am

It’s a good idea to always carry a book with you just in case you fall into a bottomless pit, because if you do, you’re probably gonna be there for awhile.
