I do understand it, it'...It's really does!! I do understand it, it's like it personalised a book and makes it yours and I could get really poetic here but think it might make me seem more weird :P <br />I think it's why I like breaking the spine because I can always see the first time I read it :)Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17836520909782354068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3686698029886380817.post-7257070669337655802013-07-15T03:51:27.913-07:002013-07-15T03:51:27.913-07:00I do have a particular thing for knowing that any ...I do have a particular thing for knowing that any wear on a new book has come from me. It makes me more fond of the book, for some reason. Like, if I've taken a book on holiday, I'll know that that crease along the spine was where I spread-eagled the book on the sunlounger while I shifted position, and that scuff is where I shoved it back in my bag a bit wonky, and that little mark is where a drop of sun cream landed on it... I look at a book like that and I know we have history! Does that make sense?Elliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07246472269477492583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3686698029886380817.post-91095430701557580702013-07-13T13:16:53.029-07:002013-07-13T13:16:53.029-07:00Oh those people deserve "words", breakin...Oh those people deserve "words", breaking the spine of someone else's book is just wrong! I would never do it to a book that wasn't mine, it feels like some big boundary would being crossed! <br />Please someone has similar book confessions as me, normally people stare at me like am a crazy person when they pick up on them :)Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17836520909782354068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3686698029886380817.post-15979979399785906822013-07-13T11:52:24.508-07:002013-07-13T11:52:24.508-07:00I was completely nodding along to this...some of m...I was completely nodding along to this...some of my habits are the same. Except I really hate broken spines, unless it is a second hand book when it is ok, so I have a tendency to hawk-eye anyone who is reading one of my books and have 'words' if they crack it. Yeh, I get funny over spines. Also, hooray for good news :)Elliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09362128444319074118noreply@blogger.com
