Book Love | Once a reader, always a reader.
作者：Debbie Tung（英） | 出版年: 2019 | 出版社：Andrews McMeel Publishing
唠 叨 在 前
英文漫画《Book Love》，作者是位来自英国的漫画家和插画家，热爱书籍和茶，漫画取材于日常生活。画风略显粗糙，色彩不谈丰富，但bookworms会有被戳中的共感。如果要刻画那“只属于自己的房间”，那我希望它类似勒妮的秘密房间——出自长篇小说《L'élégance du hérisson（刺猬的优雅）》，有机会对比书和电影出个视频吧（挖坑ing）——没有待客厅也行，或者说没有更好（手动狗头）。
同作者《Quiet Girl in a Noisy World: An Introvert's Story（2017）》入坑，《Everything Is OK（2022）》也值得一看。前者讲述一个内向者的成长历程和幸福生活，传达从内心接纳和肯定自己的重要性，后者讲述作者与焦虑的斗争和抑郁经历。
三本书打包送给外在平和、开朗但疯狂内耗、自我怀疑的i人。功利社会也许的确更适合外向型人格生存（泪），所以被生活狂轰滥炸时，我们更要找到属于自己的防空洞——那是能安心盛放自己脆弱的角落。人生艰难时期时更需明白自爱的价值，天空难免存在乌云，事物也总有高潮和低谷，就算觉得自己是怪人，没关系的，让我们做自己。
以下分享《Book Love》中对我有过帮助的话，祝各位早点走出emo。
Books can take me to magic places.
Something different, something that'll really hit the spot.
The process of buying a new book.
Run fingers over the spine of books.
Eyes are dream to a particular title or cover.
Pick it up and read the back.
Feel the weight of it in your hands.
Give it a smell.
Enjoy the sensation.
Imagine the adventures you'll have together.
When I read, I explore the past, adventure into the future, see the world from a different perspective, and embark on a journey of self-discovery.
I read to escape from the real world.
Things book have taught me.
To be empathetic.
To be grateful.
To be open-minded.
To follow my passion.
Why books are the best gifts?
They're affordable and you can create personalized collections.
They can be shared or passed on to others to enjoy.
The right book will have stories that stay with the reader forever.
Books can bring me pure joy and make me feel excited about life.
When I read, I'm in a world of my own.
But they can also just as easily break my heart and reduce me to tears, leaving me emotionally shattered.
When I read a sad book, I like to be alone.
It gives me a chance to let my emotions out, to lament the unfortunate fate of beloved characters and to recuperate in the aftermath of a tearful ending.
There's a book for everyone.
Some books are easy to read.
Others are difficult to finish.
But some books have the power to change your life.
Books have helped me through tough times, in moments of boredom and when I needed help.
Books have been there for me when I felt like nobody else would understand.
When I open a book, I open a window into another person's world.
It become a truly magical experience.
By living a reading life, I live many lives at once.
There's nothing else quite like it.
What a raining and gloomy day! Perfect for staying in with a cup of tea and a good book.
What a nice and sunny day! Perfect for staying in with a cup of tea and a good book.
Every day is a good day for books.
I have bonded with this book so much.
Stop pestering me, and go and play on your own!
Seeing a room full of books, sends chills down my spine, makes my head giddy with excitement, just thinking about all the possibilities.
I always bring a book with me.
No matter where I go.
It's like having a portable friend with me.
I know that I'm not alone.
The intoxicating smell of a bookshop!
Keep a list of books you've read.
It helps give a sense of accomplishment.
