I have too many books

Wise Words

"That's one of the amazing things great books like this do-- they don't just get you to see the world differently, they get you to look at people, the people all around you differently." -- Mary Ann Schwalbe

The End of Your Life Book Club by Will Schwalbe

Best. Acknowledgements. Ever.

"Thanks for being the kind of person who likes to pick up a book. That's genuinely a great thing. I met a librarian once who said she doesn't read books because books are her job and when she goes home, she wants to switch off. I think we can agree that's as creepy as hell. Thank you for seeking out stories, the kind that takes place in your brain."

Totally

Splinters

"If he waits it out, it will numb itself. It will go away. He just has to be patient and avoid being a reckless idiot. Time heals. Crushes let up. Splinters work their way out. Doesn't mean they don't leave scars that itch."

The Shining Girls by Lauren Beukes

Things I Read and I Like

I've had several variations of reading blogs-- this time around I'm going to blog on a combination of lists of things I read, book related things I like, and a variety of quotes from things that I have read.
