second hand book

i bought a second hand book today.

the cover of the book wasn't exactly in it's best condition.

the book seems to have gone "swimming" at some point in its life.

luckily, the pages did not stick together.

Messenger by Lois Lowry

i actually love second hand books!

the reason why i bought this book was because of it's present condition.

i was really amazed that the pages were still intact.

here is a little trivia about me,

though it's kind of weird...

when i look for a book that i would like to read for leisure,

i would carefully flip the sides of the book and smell the pages.

i love the smell of second hand books. (^_^)
