Favorite Quote:
“Never did she find anything so difficult as to keep herself from losing her temper when she was suddenly disturbed while absorbed in a book. People who are fond of books know the feeling of irritation which sweeps over them at such a moment. The temptation to be unreasonable and snappish is one not easy to manage.<br /> <br /> "It makes me feel as if something had hit me," Sara had told Ermengarde once in confidence. "And as if I want to hit back. I have to remember things quickly to keep from saying something ill-tempered.”<br /> ― Frances Hodgson Burnett, A Little Princess


My books, 

Oh,

how I love you so.


Your fragrance pulls me into another world every time,

Describing and Drawing a world in my mind.


You make 

characters,

Settings,

and stories

come alive.


Libraries are built for you,

the Way of Old,

for spreading knowledge to all

for enlightening all


Thank You,

for always being there

when i needed somewhere to be


Now I have Somewhere to go,

when no one else wants me.
