this is a distinctly boomer behavior; never seen anyone younger do it

    Give my thumb a big slobbery lick so the paper sticks to it
    Fold the page alllllll the way back around, where the other pages already are
    Give the spine a strong squeeze, or maybe crease it all the way down, to make sure that one page doesn't come back up

    Yep, it's boomer time

        If you want to break in a book's spine without actually breaking it, you hold the book upright and closed and then start opening a few pages on either side and gently pressing them down. Keep doing this until you reach the middle and the book is fully open. I usually like to give it a little massage to relax it too.
