Follow Nicola Yoon on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, Tumblr @nicolayoon #everythingeverythingbook www.nicolayoon.com To my husband, David Yoon, who showed me my heart. And to my smart, beautiful daughter, Penny, who made it bigger. THE WHITE ROOM more books than you. It doesn’t matter how many you’ve read. I’ve I’VE READ MANY read more. Believe me. I’ve had the time. In my white room, against my white walls, on my glistening white bookshelves, book spines provide the only color. The books are all brand-new hardcovers—no germy secondhand softcovers for me. They come to me from Outside, decontaminated and vacuum-sealed in plastic wrap. I would like to see the machine that does this. I imagine each book traveling on a white conveyor belt toward rectangular white stations where robotic white arms dust, scrape, spray, and otherwise sterilize it until it’s finally deemed clean enough to come to me. When a new book arrives, my first task is to remove the wrapping, a process that involves scissors and more than one broken nail. My second task is to write my name on the inside front cover. PROPERTY OF: Madeline Whittier I don’t know why I do this. There’s no one else here except my mother, who never reads, and my nurse, Carla, who has no time to read because she spends all her time watching me breathe. I rarely have visitors, and so there’s no one to lend my books to. There’s no one who needs reminding that the forgotten book on his or her shelf belongs to me. REWARD IF FOUND (Check all that apply): This is the section that takes me the longest time, and I vary it with each book. Sometimes the rewards are fanciful: Picnic with me (Madeline) in a pollen-filled field of poppies, lilies, and endless man-in-the-moon marigolds under a clear blue summer sky. Drink tea with me (Madeline) in a lighthouse in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean in the middle of a hurricane. Snorkel with me (Madeline) off Molokini to spot the Hawaiian state fish— the humuhumunukunukuapuaa.
