so about a year ago I bought a nice condition copy of six of crows from a used bookstore and the cashier started talking to me about six of crows. i got so excited. She said she'd read the first one but was scared to read the second one because everyone warned her she would be emotionally destroyed by it. i was like "no, no you have to read the second one! it's so good!" we talked a bit more, and she told me that Nina and Matthias were her favorite. "i really just don't want anything to happen to them. I love them so much."
let's just have a moment of silence for her <3

Armchair Books, Edinburgh
This is the kind of bookstore that gives me anxiety because there are books EVERYWHERE and I feel like it's all gonna come down on me. However, there were quite a few gems in there so I'd recommend it for secondhand books and the aesthetic 👌

I want to remind readers/book lovers (myself included) that while collecting books is fun, it's also not really good and is another way capitalism gets you
Books are getting really expensive nowadays, and you're eventually going to run out of space, and you may not even LIKE some of the books in your collection, but you still spent a good amount of money on that book you now see as a waste of time and money
My advice is to go to your local library (if you can. I'm aware that not all libraries across the world are as fortunate as the ones near me). Read the library copy, and only if you REALLY like the book, then get a copy for yourself, but check local used bookstores or thrift stores if it's been out for a while for much less than what you'd pay at Barnes and Nobles or Coles
On that note, if you are done with books and they are in good condition, please donate them to the libraries or to used bookstores (some used bookstores will also pay you a small amount or give you store credit for the books you bring in)
I'm still working on getting out of the claws of capitalism and supporting my community/local stores when I can, and I advise other people to do the same if you are able to

Paul Giamatti: “I like used bookstores more than new ones, because there’s just something about all the old books that feels more comforting and peaceful to me. I do have a big collection of books at home, and I actually had to get help from somebody a few years ago to organize it. I got rid of hundreds if not thousands of books about three or four years ago. And in the space of time since, I’ve almost reacquired everything I got rid of.” (via nytimes.com)
