pick

Light pick. Lee‘s YA novel about a girl, her mom, and their special ability to make potions of sorts to help with love has the feel of teen emotions, including the complicated mother-daughter relationship, and of course love. I was really invested in the elixir creations and the “heart notes” Mim and her mom could detect for emotions. So fascinating - a smell for everything, from worry to happiness. #SundayBuddyRead

#Bibliosmia — That #OldCoolBooks smell!

(Thanks, @StillLookingForCarmenSanDiego, for teaching me this word!)

This lovely little hand-bound copy of Tennyson that I found has a wonderful old book smell.

Thank you to everyone for participating! I had so much fun seeing all of your Old Cool Books this month! I‘ll post the winners by the end of the week.

I‘m hosting a fairytale themed #CoolBooks photo challenge for June, if you‘re interested! 😚

My aunt passed away in January & bibliosmia-the love of the smell of books-makes me think of her house. We moved to Oregon the summer I was 12 & since school hadn't started & I knew no one, I did a LOT of reading. We'd go over to dinner every few weeks & I'd wallow in the musty smell of her rooms full of books. She'd let me fill a bag with Harlequin romances, then exchange for new ones the next time.
RIP, Aunt Dot.💜

MicheleinPhilly Lovely story. ❤️ 6y

ReadZenRites What a terrific aunt! 😊🌸💕 6y

robinb I have an aunt who I call my “other mother”. In some ways I‘m more like her than my mom, including her love of books which my mom doesn‘t have. So sorry for the loss of your special aunt. (edited) 6y

Linsy Awww, how sweet! She was your book dealer. I‘m endeavoring to be that for my nephews. She‘s my role model! 👏👏👏 (edited) 6y

fleeting Awww "she'd let me fill a bag then exchange new ones later." I think most readers have had a relative/friend like this. A book godmother. In return, I do the same to others! What a fantastic mini story this is, Deb. :') 6y

What a wonderful month of old cool books! This challenge gave me a greater appreciation for what I own. So much so that I bought a special bookcase to house my vintage books. Every time I open the door I get a gentle waft of old book smell. 😀
