Currently savoring the wondrous novel Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin and making some fan art stickers of the games from the book.
I did some book shopping and subscribed to Kindle Unlimited this weekend. Guess I have a lot of reading to do now, not that I didn’t before. My owned TBR pile of physical and Kindle books is over 350 books and I’m currently reading three books. Hoping to get to these books next year.
Hey bb girl come here lemme tell you something. If you hate stickers and sticker residue on your books, I have the easiest solution for you right here- lighter fuel + razor.
I use Ronsonol (but I imagine any lighter fluid works) and a handheld razor, preferably in a tool made for handling a razor (i use the Stanley blade holder, so easy to hold) with a paper towel on hand to get rid of residue.
All you need to do is dab some lighter fluid on or around the sticker (it will likely be visible as it absorbs the fluid) and then peel it off with the razor. Or if its an easy one, just use a fingernail and take that sticker right off. Do this in a room with air circulating, and the lighter fluid will dry up in seconds. If you put just enough on there, it won't stain your paper at all, drying and leaving a perfect cover. If there's any leftover sticky, I pour some lighter fluid on the paper towel and wipe the residue until its all gone. If there's just residue from someone trying to take the sticker off normally, a mix of lighter fluid soaked paper towel and gentle razoring is an easy fix. This works for all sorts of stickers and tape, but be careful, if there's already a puncture in the cover then the lighter fuel will soak in and leave a small spot.
There are pros and cons, but this is the easiest method and we use it all the time at my bookstore. Genuinely my favorite part of working with books. Make that bitch More flammable babey!!!!!!!!!
