WTJ--I Licked a Book

Wreck This Journal
By: Kerri Smith

I never thought I would ever lick a book. Who would ever do such a thing? Well, I did. I licked a book, on purpose. I have smelled a book, thanks to the invention of scratch n' sniff, felt a book, thanks to baby books with tactile inserts, and seen a book. But, until now...I had never tasted a book.

I first tried Gobstoppers as my 'colorful candy' of choice. That was a fail. They do not produce a colorful trail.

Next choice, was a Ring Pop, blue raspberry flavor. It left some color, as you can see.

My larger discomfort with this idea is that the page is now sticky (gross!). So, the moment I closed the book there was a great chance that the pages would stick together. I cringed at the possibility as I closed the binding.

So far this journey has already taken me outside my comfort zone. Oh, what the rest of this book has to show me!!
