Anything Is A Bookmark Jellybeans, what is the strangest thing you have used as a bookmark?

Me, a booksleeve, even while the book was inside a larger booksleeve

Or it could be a mug coaster

I'm sure most of us had our book spines broken by others that borrowed from us right? It's usually friends or neighbours or maybe even family. Regardless of who they are, it's as if they don't even care 😭 like wdym breaking the spine makes it easier for you to read?? Sybau 🥀

Wish I could say that to my professor 😔

A few weeks ago she saw me with The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexander Dumas. (I brought it to class so I could show my friends how thick it was, so they can decide if they wanted to read it or not) My professor asked me if I finished reading it and said yes, then she asked if she could borrow it. She said she'd been wanting to read it but couldn't find a second hand copy, and the college library's only copy was already borrowed by someone. So I agreed and gave it to her.

This morning the book is back in my hands but with a severely broken spine that the pages are falling apart 😭 A couple pages are even missing!! She even tried to use her toddler daughter (that I had no idea existed) as an excuse for the broken book!

The Head of the Department saw the sad excuse of a book being handed back to me by that professor, and so she got scolded on the spot lol

I can get another copy but this one's been with me for years 😓

It is a really interesting start. Specifically how it seems that Yeong-Hye has never had much to say about her life. Seems like she learned that being passive was the way to survive under the societal constraints that woman suffer under the patriarchy. And the one time she makes a decision for herself, she is treated as if her decision is going to end the world. The complete disregard that her husband has for her as an individual is making me so frustrated. He either sees her as this extension of himself and how she reflects on him or as this object that occupies space on his house and prepares stuff for him. Sometimes worse.
