The Moldy Book

Got this for Christmas and read it this week, plus added it to my IRL “read” shelf.

When you see a nice picture of a book you didn’t like and you’re trying to decide whether or not to reblog:

Waiting for book post to arrive:

I was asked for a photo of my bookshelf, so here is my main bookshelf in all its messy and cramped glory. My drop caps are on my mantel, and my hardcover HP set are in their trunk so they aren’t shown, but you’ve seen those anyway. I have more books in a box somewhere that haven’t been unpacked yet.

I get so overwhelmed by all the books I want to read that I just sit on tumblr all day and think about what I should be reading.

I saw your read Nimona and I was wondering what you thought of it? Like is it worth reading?

It was great! The art was cute and unique, and it’s got some nice symbolism/messages without laying it on too heavily. A+, do recommend. I gave it 5 stars on Goodreads.

Sexuality: When you reach that part in a good book where you can just set the spine in one hand and the sides are balanced enough that it stays open while you read

Yes hello I reorganized my bookshelves again.

Book Stuff That Drives Me Crazy:

The inconsistent size of papeback books. 

Small font sizes, especially in the fantasy genre

the long gap between the hardback and paperback release

horrendous film/tv tie in covers taking over

faux in-your-face stickers 

text on the back or front calling it to be the next (insert book title) or something

quotes from other authors instead of a blurb on the back cover

the inability to open a paperback without bending or slightly cracking the spine

and probably so many more…..

I like some film/tv tie-in covers, but everything else I totally agree with.
