I love the smell of new books too. Reminds me of my 3rd grade spelling book and of the smell of my grandparents print shop.

A thing I did when I was very young and breaking thumb sucking habit was to fold the edge of top sheet to make a quite sharp point and rub that point on my face. Apparently I did it in my sleep after the birth of each child as nurses asked me about it. I started doing it again after daughter Andie passed away. Must have 100% cotton sheets for this.

It is bizarre I know. Always wondered if anyone else ever did this.
