So I would like to apologise for how long itâs taken me to answer this message - I was on holiday and my laptop couldnât get wifi and thereâs no inbox on the tumblr app >.< Anyway Iâm back now so with no further ado:
11 - What is your favourite quote from a book?
ok this question is unfair because all books have a beautiful line in them somewhere and making me choose is painful :( I think for now Iâll have to go with Elizabeth Bennetâs maxim:Â âThink only on the past as its remembrance gives you pleasureâ because itâs really not bad advice for someone who worries a lot about how they acted in certain situations.
16 - Buy books new, used, or go to the library?
I tend to buy them new, mostly because my local bookshop has always been, travel-wise, the easiest way for me to acquire books. I do like secondhand books though, because they smell nice. I borrowed a lot of books from my school library when I was little but usually I ended up buying my own copies anyway because Iâm a rereader and I like actually owning books.
22 - Do you mark/highlight/dogear your books or leave them in perfect condition? [this question is also for the anon who asked]
You can see the exact point I stopped dog-earing my books by looking at my copies of Harry Potter :P I like keeping them pristine for as long as possible but if they do become all worn I love that as well. I have an Austen collection whose covers have been taped on, and my original copy of Goblet of Fire literally fell apart.
