Haven't been on here in forever!!! But I haven't stopped reading. I have been more and more artsy lately and decided to deface my copy of Clockwork Princess by @officialcassandraclare with a love rune that I added details to. I plan on defacing the whole trilogy soon enough! #bookart #books #bookdefacing #bookdefaced #shadowhunters #theinfernaldevices #clockworkprincess #cassandraclare https://www.instagram.com/p/B19ay5-gjtQ/?igshid=1591k8h0hxx8m

I'm having fun defacing an old copy of Hypatia which is SUPER racist and anti-semitic. Hopefully I'll end up doing the whole book! . . . #art #artistsoninstagram #bookart #bookdefacing https://www.instagram.com/p/B1Rtif_pt1A/?igshid=b2y6tum3skc3

So I defaced a book... I've actually already written in this by crossing out all the sex scenes. It isn't my signed copy, that's my white UK edition, but now I want this one signed too. Wonder when @therealsjmaas will come back to Phoenix... I sketched first in pencil and then went over in metallic colored pencils my mom brought home when she retired as a teacher. I found the crown shape online and then added more detailm Do you like it? Took me all day cuz I'm not that good at art anymore, especially with my carpal tunnel. Would you ever do this? #bookstagram #books #queenofshadows #throneofglass #tog #bookdefacing #defacedbook #coloredpencils #art #personalized #sarahjmaas

Page 149 of screenwriter Anita Loos’ memoir, ‘A Girl Like I’, in the collection of @library_vic , has been annotated by a vandalising (but accurate) gossip with a Biro and a nasty all-caps habit. Perhaps it was the previous person who ordered up the book - in 1998. Loos made millions from her book Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (& the Marilyn Monroe/Rosalind Russell movie). Loos is scathing about members of the Algonquin Round Table, including Neysa McMein and Alexander Woolcott, although she cannot bring herself to be mean about Dorothy Parker due to being “overawed by her brilliant mind”. She refers to the group of pals having 'hobbledehoy bad manners’ but with breathtaking cruelty on page 152 herself breaks the confidence of Alec Woolcott who confessed to her he’d always wanted to be a girl and then a mother, and asked to be friends. Loos blithely reports she avoided him thereafter. One can only conclude that Ms Loos was clever, and funny, and mean as a spitting possum. #film #scripts #anitaloos #dorothyparker #alexanderwoolcott #neysamcmein #gentlemenpreferblondes #algonquinroundtable #librarians #marginalia #bookdefacing
