I did this video a few days ago, then forgot about it completely! But here it is. Just an informal little chat about some things I’ve found in used books.

(Over)Analysing Literature 
This video was so charming. I love highlighting as I read, it takes me back to my English Lit. days. Second-hand books are the best!

I personally don’t write in books, but if I find a used book and it has a note or writing in it I am always fascinated 🙂

I found two £20 bill once I was glued between the pages. I’m sure glad I fanned through all the pages in that one But a friend of my friend got this prank letter inside saying “Dude this book is cursed, you gonna die!!”.

Haha! I’ve yet to find money in a book, but maybe one day! Although once in a library book I did find a note saying “if you are reading this, you will die tonight.” I was pretty young and it scared me. I didn’t sleep that night, but I’m still here!

i can completely relate and the feeling of having to share some intimate moments of reading with a stranger is amazing, you know when you get to some lines somewhere in a book and you stop by and inhale because the lines are so beautiful or full of thought and sense, i learnt so many thinks from books and i like to think of them as treasures that many ignore, i also once found a little pink comb in a book one day, it was funny but i thought of it as books have treasures we can never think of, and somehow i wish every reader would leave a note to the anonymous next person thats going to read that book it would be so beautiful! nice video

I think we should make that a thing! If I had a used book store (wow I would really love to have a used bookstore!) I would encourage people to write a note to the next reader when they trade in their books.

Well, maybe one day! Yeah, I get pretty attached to my books, if they’re ones I enjoyed. I love even just having books around me.

I couldn’t agree more about the mysteries within used books. They contain an aura of their previous owners which I feel new books or eBooks don’t capture.
