Not unless they put a pleasant scent on it to hide the book smell...

you def are the first reader i met who said that. interesting.

i mean olllllld books smell gross. people who whiff those hard are lookin for mold diseases.

Well, if they're too new, they smell like ink, which stinks. If they're too old, they smell like decomposing paper. And library books have a uniquely sour smell.

I like the random british ones that smell like coloring books.

i got to page like 32 in this last night and like.... ehhhh... something about this is offputting. i don't fully know what. i know i don't really like the male pov. he's gross to me and doesn't act the way i think men really act and think - more like how a woman wants a man to act and think. also i just don't wanna hear about your XXL briefs feeling like XL briefs cuz of how cute the mc supposedly is.

Maybe it'll be Weekend at Bernies: The Romance.

that's what i signed up for lol

we're just gonna DNF this and pretend it never happened cuz i read reviews of people who got a lot further than i did and the guy skeeved them out in many many many worse ways than i've already felt. if i don't like him now, i'd vomit on who he turns out to fully be.

Don't want that one to be your 1000th book.

nope that would have been a sad celebration
