confession: i buy pretty hardcovers and then read the beat-up library copy

I want teh sprayed edges goblin edition on my shelf, but if im actually dragging something into bed or onto teh train, its teh library paperback with teh weird plastic jacket every time.

Feels mildly fake-book-person of me

I cracked a special edition once and spent the whole chapter worrying about the spine instead of the plot.

Tell that to the voice in my head that sounds like an indie bookstore owner
