Just wanted to show my alternative to booksleeves– I don’t have a sewing machine (or, you know, talent) so I can’t make those for myself, but I can crochet some cute book jackets to protect them! I’ve got one for hardbacks, one for smaller paperbacks, and one for thicker paperbacks (though I need one that’s a smaller size, for the short fat paperbacks that I also love) 

I haven’t used a pattern in a while, but I can link to the pattern I used to use/give my general tips for sizing, if anyone else is interested in making them for their books! Or tips for crocheting in general, it’s one of my favorite hobbies
