43. Title of a book you own that's in the worst physical condition you have. Explain what happened to it. Post a picture if you want.
It’s probably this book which I just got from a yard sale this past weekend, it’s from 1908 and the cover/back are just. Fully detached. also sorry for bad lighting in the photo it is the night time.
[id: photo of a book titled ‘the pansy token’ featuring illustrations of pansies]
but I picked it up bc. oh my god ‘a PANSY token’ are you serious. and pansy is on my list of future tattoo ideas and the illustrations are gorgeous, can 100% see myself showing this to a tattoo artist for inspiration. It’s part of a series of ‘friendship token’ books based on different flowers and features different little poems about pansies. there’s an inscription inside that says ‘to Ronald from your s.s. teacher’ which I am going to speculate about endlessly.
45. What book(s) would you sell your soul to get a TV or movie adaptation of?
honestly this is niche and prob not gonna happen, but I would love for more adult fantasy to get animated adaptations. like I would killlll for a beautifully animated version of tooth and claw by jo walton. Or broken earth! Or any t kingfisher! the singing hills cycle! just more animated fantasy! we got earthsea/howl’s moving castle from studio ghibli but I think we deserve even more!
50. What kind of book have you never read but always hope to find at some point in the future?
I would love to one day be able to read a book in French! being monolingual is. embarrassing. also the fact that French is the language I have the most experience with is. ridiculous but! it’s what my 13-yr-old self picked! Idk why! but yeah a couple friends have gone to France and brought me back books in French and I’ve always just been like thank you <3 I can’t read this <3 but hopefully someday!
