Once I gifted them to charity thinking they would make other people happy. I never knew if they fulfilled their purpose and now I miss them terribly. And joining here. somehow I found the tribe I was looking for.

I don't know if there is a special way of expressing one's love for reading, other than to get a book and read it. Or encourage others to read.

By writing a book review about it and recommending it to my friends.

I also express my love for books by taking care of it and keeping them in a good condition

I join book groups on Facebook, talk about Harry Potter books to people that don’t care about it too much, joined Goodreads to keep track of my bookshelves and I’m here!

I have been bookbinding notebooks/journals for the past couple of years and I just got into bookbinding classics. I created a Reddit account to stay off social media more, and in Reddit I found a very awesome bookbinding community - they really help each other out.

By encouraging everyone around me to read even though they will probably read way less than I do, and also by recommending books for people. I love to help people find books I think they’ll enjoy!

Well, I really love books. And I don't show my love for them by just reading. I make sure they are always safe and dry and I also try to find out if the person I want to give it out to is reliable or not

:techie-studyinggray: Making and gifting bookmarks

I always leave the price tags on the books I buy to remind me of their value. I also tape them up to protect them for moisture
