I want to be this pretty when I read. And also have a library like that.
My ultimate goal in life: never stop reading.

Collect books, even if you don’t plan on reading them right away. Nothing is more important than an unread library.

Do not discourage children from reading because you feel they are reading the wrong thing. Fiction you do not like is a route to other books you may prefer. And not everyone has the same taste as you.
We read books to find out who we are. What other people, real or imaginary, do and think and feel… is an essential guide to our understanding of what we ourselves are and may become.
Ursula K. Le Guin (via wordsnquotes)
Do you guys ever get book cravings?
Like you really, really want to read but you want that specific book to read and you do everything in your power to get it? Online, kindle, library, barnes&noble… Or is it just me?
What you should read:
- This is very important to keep in mind, especially if you want to enjoy your reading experience.
- 1: You should read Anything.
- 2: Whatever you like.
- 3: There are no rules.
- 4: There is no age limit.
- 5: You can read whatever the hell you want.
- 6: I'm not going to tell you what you SHOULD be reading.
- 7: Because that's up to you.
- 8: Pick up ANY BOOK
- 9: And please,
- 10: Enjoy the hell out of it! (Or dislike it, it's all up to you!)
You know when you binge read a series? The bad part about it is that in my head it all becomes an epic saga that just flows and I can’t tell where one book ends and the other one begins. ITS ALL AN EPIC LONG MOVIE IN MY HEAD, AND I DO NOT KNOW WHERE EACH BOOK PAUSES.
This happens to me almost every time.
Books are the quietest and most constant of friends; they are the most accessible and wisest of counselors, and the most patient of teachers.
