Since it is world book day, I thought I would share once again one of my most heavily annotated, scrapbooked, lived in books- Good Omens.
I usually scrapbook inside my books, but this one is the only one that has things in almost every single page. These are just the pages with double spreads.
To the book that saved me and to Terry Pratchett and @neil-gaiman , thank you 🥂.
I did add some image descriptions. So you get some clues about all the things I put in each spread.
(Because someone asked in the tags: “how can you read it? Reread it??”
Well simple answer: this edition,like many others, happen to have black pages with just the days of the week printed on them, which I left visible, and plenty of empty spaces where I glue/draw everything else, so nothing is covered at all. Plus having so much stuff inside has actually made it easier to open. )
Just so you guys know, Crowley canonically worked in the film industry. Not saying that he was canonically the tenth doctor, just saying it’s a probable possibility.
what unearthly nectar have Pratchett and Gaiman filled Good Omens with. I read that book cover-to-cover without stopping, and arose after hours gasping for air and drenched in sweat. im convinced the ink is a concoction of hallucinogenic flowers. i scrawled all over the pages and pasted pictures and scraps with researched bits on them. my copy looks like a scrapbook. i look like a wreck.
My poor copies of Good Omens … my Crowley one is annotated to all hell, pages discolored, cover bent, just covered in silly annotations. And my Aziraphale one is pristine and beautiful and untouched.
I got the white one first and started annotating it. My bookshop was never carrying the black one so I didn’t wait, but then they did get that one and I had to buy it, leaving my copies in very different conditions 😭
can't wait for my good omens scriptbook to arrive so i can annotate it with meaningful comments like "SHUT UP" "OH MY GODDD" "he's so stupid" "LMAO" etc.
