glacier_kitty1. Are you careful with the spines? Or do you crack your books open to make them lay flat? I make them open more so it's easier to read. I WANT to keep it all nice looking but that's like impossible haha
2. Do you use bookmarks? Or do you dog-ear the corners? If you do use bookmarks, do you use those fashionable metal ones? Or paper? Paper or plastic
3. Do you write in your books? Ever? If you do, do you make small marks, or write in as much blank space as you can find? Pen or pencil? Highlighter? Your name on the front page? I don't usually
4. Do you toss your books on the floor? Into bookbags? Or do you treat them tenderly, with respect? Heh you should see me at the bookstore..they're always falling on the floor or all over the shelves :P
5. Do you ever lay your book face-down, to save your place? Yeah
6. Um–water? Do you bathe with your books? Hold them with wet hands? Read out in the rain? Anything of that sort? I MIGHT touch them with wet hands
7. Are your books lined up on a bookshelf? Or crammed in any which way? Lined up and crammed haha
8. Do you make a distinction–as regards to book care–between hardcovers and paperbacks? I try not to kill the dust jacket? lol
9. And, to recap? Naturally, you love all of your books, but how, exactly? Are your books loved in the battered way of a well-loved teddy bear, or like a cherished photo album or item of clothing that’s used, appreciated, but carefully cared for? Uh..
10. Any additional comments? I found a book from 1850 at the bookstore recently..there was past owners' writing in it..with quill and ink. Woww..think where's it's been!
Today's trivia: The average pencil will draw a line 35 miles long
