Mom: “Wow. You wrote in the book.”
Me: “I scribbled all over the book. It‘s a Norton. Nortons are made for scribbling.” 😂

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks We are writing in the books for the Litsy Markup Postal Book Club and it is KILLING ME!!!!! Are you in doing it also? 🤣😂😱😩 #LMPBC #Groupn 7y
JacqMac So very true! I wish I still had my Norton, with the scribbles all over it. After 20 plus years, who knows where it landed. 7y
DGRachel @JacqMac I have all my Norton Anthologies from college. I couldn‘t bear to part with them. 7y

DGRachel @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks No, I‘m not. I‘d struggle to write in a book that other people would have to read, too. I pretty much only write in my NCEs and similar books. I do love annotating all my Kindle books, though. I use the highlight function A LOT. 7y
CarlyQuinn As a teacher, this is hard for me BUT as a drama major, English minor, this is totally normal, UNLESS it‘s a classic or it‘s part of a matching set (such as my set of Shakespeare‘s works, etc. I do though tend to mark the poop out of scripts and textbooks. Highlights, pencil, sticky notes, etc. 7y
dsfisher Watching this woman @DGRachel for years inspecting books & their dust jackets for any imperfections it always gives me pause when I see her actually writing in a book. 7y
kspenmoll @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks I used sticky notes but realized ( after mailing) they will probably fall off. 7y
Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @kspenmoll maybe they won‘t!!!!! 😊😊😊 7y

❤️Confession. I do this. When I see other fangirls gushing about certain favorite authors, I have to suppress my initial annoyance over the intrusion. This quote made me infinitely glad to know I am not alone in my jealousy. Heck.. if W.H. Auden recognizes this phenomena, it can't be completely irrational? 🤔...right?🙈

Leftcoastzen So cool ! Love it!My little secret. 7y
batsy Love that Auden quote. I can relate to being a jealous lover of books at times. This book sounds Iike it's filled with gems! 7y
Heretherebedragons Huh, I thought I was the only one. 🤓For this reason, I don't always share what my favorite book is, but one that I simply enjoyed. I feel strangely protective of that part of me. (edited) 7y
Jess_Read_This @Heretherebedragons I thought I was the only one too, until this book. And now that I'm finding other like minded Littens! ❤️I'm always hesitant to share my favorite book, it just feels so personal! If I do share it, I gloss over the reason why. Very few people know the full story why it's my favorite. 7y
Jess_Read_This @batsy I am really enjoying this one. I love reading about other readers loving their books. 7y
