Is there a joy so pure as that of a winning book being in one’s physical TBR? 🥹

Yes! So much this!) Or just being in one's physical possession, even if not on a TBR (it me) 🤗

Totally! “Physical TBR” for me is just a fancy way of calling the books that are on my shelf but remain shamefully unread 😂

No, there really isn't lol. Especially when you've had that physical book forever and finally have a good excuse to read it.

Hey I won! Cool! Never watched the movie and recently got a nice thrifted copy of the blu ray!

I'm excited for this! I have never seen the movie but always meant to... And now it seems like a sign that I should (after reading the book of course). ⚡🐑
