So, a lot of people ask me why I buy so many books. The truth is, I have a genetic disorder where my body doesn’t produce enough books of its own, so I have to supplement.
Gifting a book you’ve already read, loved, and underlined is such an intimate experience. You’re letting a loved one see the sentences you paused on, the words you hoped to return to. It’s like giving them access to a part of yourself they otherwise would never have.
