Edit- Thank you all for your help and honesty. The heat and travel brings out the worst in me. I'm going to go relax.

My family and I went on vacation for a few days out of town and came home to find our AC turned off. It's been over 100°F in my area the last two days and I'm worried it might've damaged my books.

I live in the desert so it isn't usually humid but the room the books are stored in attaches to a bathroom so it was more humid than usual.

The books are very hot to the touch.

Some are recent prints but I also have more well loved editions from the 90s.

Should I be worried about the binding or the forbidden M word? Or am I being extremely dramatic?

I read this book at my middle school library pre 2014

The beginning of the book a teen boy helps Merlin trick someone with a sword. Later him and his sister have to flee and end up living with dragons in a giant egg shaped structure. The egg has vines that clean their teeth. I specifically remember the main character saying it was an odd feeling to have clean teeth and that they felt "slimey"
