colector: [JournalWriting] used bookstores

I dig used bookstores more than regular bookstores! I love the smell
and feeling of all the previously owned books. Looking at the writings
and realizing I can buy the book for cheaper than a regular bookstore
and not feel to bad about it. I likie the sense of not having to read a
a book in a hurry like you feel you have to do when you check them out
from libraries because you have to give them back. Some books are meant
to be savoured, treasured and kept. I write and wrote in books a lot
and when I was young and was scolded for it. I kept doing it if they
were my books. I write in books now not to make them into altered
treasures but to remember what I was feeling or thinking.

I love used bookstores and junk shops and especially the library.
Just the smell and being able to find anything I want. The feeling
of being able to read anything I want is such a wonderful experience.
I bought alot of books from auctions and found letters and photos
stashed in them. People use odd things for bookmarks.

books that have writing in them.
