This may be my most controversial post.
I prayed to the book gods with the upmost of respect while making my Travel Les Mis book.
I don‘t want to get behind further, & just can‘t carry the full book on vacation.
This book was waiting in the wild to be used & loved.
With an X-Acto blade I cut the cover, several of the pages, & the appendix in the back. Now Les MIs can return to France, but in the beautiful countryside

Ruthiella At one point in my life I would have been horrified but now-do what you need to do. 😅 Just recycle ♻️ the pages if you can. (edited) 1d
tpixie @Ruthiella Yes! It was a very difficult decision. I felt like the boy who was taking advantage of the tree in The Giving Tree. I did give the book thanks. I‘ll keep the book & pages until I‘m done reading the book, and then I may do some sort of artwork craft in celebration. 💛📒💛 1d

Gleefulreader I actually love this as a way to still enjoy the book and then to use it creatively when you are done! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 19h

tpixie @dabbe yes! I remember it as a young child an older friend told me that Books love to be marked in and Dog eared because that means they‘re well loved. And then I got older and started feeling bad about Dog earring and quit. So I thought of her today. 15h
tpixie @Gleefulreader it is the only way that I could think to do it so I could still underline and not get too far behind. I‘m trying not to read it on an e-book. 15h
tpixie @Cuilin merci! 15h
