Old-school physical books or digital?
There’s no substitute for a real good book. I love smelling the pages and feeling the type of paper in my hands. I treat every book as a work of art, so for me, it has to be physical and tangible.
Forget books, we know you’re into card reading
Since forever, I’ve been drawn to a world where things are said in a whisper and in secrecy. At age 16, I found a book about tarot at home and learned how to read cards from it. Quickly and naturally, I focused on the ancient Egyptian tarot.
I love changing the order of the books all the time and then searching for the specific book I want and going through them all again. I’m in love with my book collection.
