One of my favorite books of all time is Gone With the Wind. I have a beloved paperback edition that I've had since 8th grade. I only know that because for whatever kid-mentality reason, I scrawled my classroom number in it. This poor thing was old by the time I bought it because it was from a thrift store. I'm in my 50s and I don't know how it hasn't literally crumbled into dust. It was held together by tape for a lot of years. But even that didn't work anymore. I finally put it in a plastic baggie and it now lives on my shelf. A few years ago I bought a new (to me!) hardcover copy. I think it was from Thriftbooks. Absolute steal at $10. Not only was it in near new condition, but it had a plastic cover! It may have been a library book. And while I love it and have read it... I can't bear to part with the old one. It has so many memories attached to it. I used to read it every spring. Who knows the places I dragged it through the years. If only old books could physically speak and say where they've been!
Thanks for the mention and I enjoyed your version of the tag. I'm planning to read The Time Macine during Victober. Aaarrgh, not the bent back paperback! 😆 This was fun.
Thanks so much for doing the tag! I like the idea of having a themed playlist for what you are reading...I may try that!
Thanks for creating the tag!

Hear! Hear!
Yes! Themed playlists to match the book you’re reading. I find Death Metal goes well with epic fantasy 🤘
That's great!
