📖
One of the most special and intimate things you can do is exchange books with another person; it could be a friend, partner, stranger, teacher, or even a family member. This not only allows you to get a glimpse into what goes on inside the mind of the other person and allows them to see the same, but it also creates a beautiful space for discussion. I would say it can act almost as an express book club, no long-term attachment or schedules, but a great deal of enriching dialogue and connection. Even though I consider all of my books to be my literal babies, I will never hesitate to have a book exchange if the opportunity comes up.
