There’s a brace of books I keep entirely for nostalgia.
Some, like this, are gifts that were just for me & often I felt seen by the choices folks made.
Some are books I chose as a kid, or thrifted as a teen. Which range from books about rocks & herbology, to Owen Marshall’s short stories, to a psychology textbook I bought in high school coz it was interesting.
& some are my own copies of books I had out from the library regularly. Think Discworld, Stephen King, Douglas Adams, Octavia Butler
