I totally get why you sniff books! I hate kindles. I like to feel and smell the book as well.
I actually do my reading in the bath. Unfortunately, there has been the odd accident where I've dropped the book in the bath. They expand to twice the size lol.
The print needs to be a good size now as my eyes aren't as good as they used to be. I don't like heavy books so it's soft copies for me.
Wait, you read in the bath?
Like bathtub or a shower?
Bathtub. I like a good soak with a good book lol.
Oh that's one to hang up in the hall of Fame of reading habits that's for sure 😅
