Portrait of a girl reading a book, $22 I love the description of this: This gentle and timid girl prefers the company of her books to most other things.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: I want to work, say, 4 hours a week at BN just so I can recommend books to people. I want to put my name up on the Staff Picks section and swap out a great book every week. I’ve been told by Ginger that this is not possible, which is depressing to me. I want to share my book-love with the masses.  librarianheygirl: Thanks Misty & Anjela! Picture from: gossip.whyfame.com

"If Quentin Coldwater stumbled on a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow, he’d constantly complain about how heavy it was and how the coins didn’t fit in any vending machines and why couldn‘t they have just put the money into a nice cashier‘s check that he could have fit neatly in his wallet and then deposited in the bank?"
