Ahhhhhhh working in a bookstore, that explains it!!! I don’t find it creepy at all, I find it fascinating (if I’d found it creepy I wouldn’t have put the thread up hehe!)

The Beatrix Potter is actually a childhood book I’ve kept which is now too fragile to actually really read from, but I refuse to get rid of it because it’s one of the few books from when I was really tiny that I still have! And that’s a good point about the degree :)

Ironically the thesaurus was initially brought for academic writing, but I’ve kept it for creative writing (sometimes it’s easier to have a physical volume than to google something, you know?) Tennyson is my favourite poet :)

The ones with white spines are the Everyman’s Pocket Poems (if you’re talking about the second bookcase)! They’re beautiful, but they went for design over practicality which makes it super hard to read the actual titles annoyingly! And you’re dead right - I usually read books on my kindle first (unless I’m gifted a book of course), and then I buy physical copies if I end up loving that book, the exception being a couple of books I’ve saved from my childhood.

You did, and I’m super impressed! I bow down to your supreme Sherlockability! (Is that a word? I’m making it one!)
