- Over mijn bibliotheek
- *cracks knuckles* Let's see.
Pride of Place:
- One of my... great... grandparents or something? - was pals with Henry Miller, so I have a bunch of old copies of his that are signed/inscribed, including a couple of pirated versions
- Extremely beautiful gilt and leatherbound expensive edition of Les Miserables with illustrations and Hugo-approved translation
- Jane Austen personal writing collection given to me as a reward for my kickass recitation skills even though it was supposed to be a prize for someone else
- Heavily annotated full-color edition of House of Leaves
- OG pocket volume of Ginsberg's Howl from IRL City Lights
- Sky Ward signed by writer and inscribed to me, & copy of Brand New Ancients inscribed by professor - both acquired via university classes/events
- Super cool interactive/pop-up full-color illustrated edition of Peter Pan
- Bookplates, tarot art, signatures from preordered books by Maggie Stiefvater (largely The Raven Cycle)
- Copy of Les Miserables that I got signed by West End cast because... extra.

How many books do I have in total?
No clue currently. When I finish cataloguing them all, I'll let you know. - Over mij
- Pay no attention to the shelf collecting myriad copies/translations of Les Mis.
I am that John Mulaney skit about the college experience, but with Adderall instead of cocaine; I, too, was an English major who paid $200,000 for professors to tell me to read books, and then I didn't. I mean, I did *sometimes,* but... yk. Who has the time.
Medium preference: paper, especially hardcover (bonus if leatherbound). First alternate, digital - PDF or in-browser page.
Ideal bookmark form: attached ribbon or card paper.
Oxford comma stance: eschew it at your peril.
Doylist or Watsonian: desperately wants to be a Watsonian, but often forced into Doylism.
Most battered copies: the Harry Potter series.
Book crimes: I write in, dog-ear, and frequently accidentally stain my copies (exceptions being expensive/fancy ones).
Literary pretension: this. Also, using a bookplate stamp to mark my copies, and an excessively complex organization system.
Controversial opinions: Catcher in the Rye is good, and so is Lolita; The Hunger Games deserves more respect; Snape did not deserve redemption; and Rupi Kaur is overrated.
Lit-themed tattoos: Frankenstein, Hamlet, House of Leaves, Les Miserables (x2), Peter Pan (x2), The Raven Cycle, Six of Crows.
Favorite bookshops: Shakespeare and Company (Paris, FR), The Bookery (Placerville, CA, USA), The Last Bookstore (Los Angeles, CA, USA), City Lights (San Francisco, CA, USA).
Authors I would punch in the face: Orson Scott Card, Clarissa Clare (Cassandra? Whatever her name is), H. P. Lovecraft, Ayn Rand, J. K. Rowling.
Authors I would invite to a dinner party: Neil Gaiman, Victor Hugo, Rick Riordan, Sappho, William Shakespeare, Mary Shelley, Richard Siken, whoever wrote Animorphs.
Authors I'd pit against one other in a gladiator battle: C. S. Lewis, Phillip Pullman, J. R. R. Tolkien. You know why. - Woonplaats
