It would ruin the book for me!) and #10 (I love to snack and drink tea while reading. And while being EXTRA careful of course). But the rest: totally agree! I do so love the look and smell of new books!! So glad I'm not alone because I'm sure other people think it's mighty weird for a person to sniff a book. And I would absolutely choose reading a physical copy of a fantasy book on my own over reading an ebook of realistic fiction and socializing. It's just who we are and there's nothing wrong with that. Fantastic list this week, Courtney!Ayleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07639250102446794830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1682866082765759474.post-58551451860092891272012-08-29T22:59:47.093-04:002012-08-29T22:59:47.093-04:00I can understand that.

I haven't looked at it since class since it has this gross old book smell.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03052456915027241479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1682866082765759474.post-42413369563744187752012-08-28T21:18:33.829-04:002012-08-28T21:18:33.829-04:00Thanks! :D that's true. it's kind of savin...Thanks! :D that's true. it's kind of saving paper.

I have gotten it 3 or 4 years straight. Online you get free shipping, plus a ton of the hardback YA books are 30-40% off if you buy online. And there is nothing wrong with naming inanimate objects! I have a teddy bear named Raul, my car is Jewel, and I have a stuffed om nom (from the game Cut the Rope) names Jack who travels with me :-) Great confessions, here's mine: http://whatsontheshelf.wordpress.com/2012/08/28/top-ten-tuesday-20/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1682866082765759474.post-7375358401040707442012-08-28T15:49:30.860-04:002012-08-28T15:49:30.860-04:00Courtney, you and I are scarily alike.
