The spines always get creased so I haven't been successful there. I put the books in bags and boxes. Wish I could keep the pages from turning yellow on the older books.

HA! My pleasure books look like they did when I bought them. I happen to be very fussy about that. Of course they age, but they all are special to me. I can't give them up. I store older paperbacks in boxes in my attic, but the hardcovers and "keeper" books (autographed ones I've won in contests) are kept on one of my many bookshelves or bookcases around the house. :smile: When I had textbooks I would highlight until the cows came home.

I prefer my scribbles on paper I can shuffle around and file where I'll need them. Most of my novels look like they've never been read, even the 20-year-old ones that are yellowing with age and I practically have memorized. I don't think I'm obsessive about it (I've just never seen any need to crack the spine to read the book), but borrowers have been known to return a brand-new copy when they fear my wrath for book abuse. For the record, I have never chastised anyone for dinging one of my books. Refused to loan them another, yes, but never chastised... :twisted: The research books are full of highlighter, not so much scribbles.

I keep them in boxes (like the size that photocopy paper come in) all stacked nicely but I do have a scribbler book where the books are written into so I know which box they might be in. Have a Merry Christmas and hope that the new year is good for you. I have lots of books that I have to read and keep buying more to add to them.

I can't bring myself to write in an actual novel read for enjoyment, but they do show their love in the cracked spines, doggeared pages and coffee stains :oops: And a very Merry Christmas to you, too!

Gosh, I learned tons that way. I used to write a synopsis of each one and keep a list of each one read on cards.
