Currently Reading: My Last Three Library Books before China!
I am going to miss my local library so much when I go to China. It was named Library of the Year for good reason!
"Books have to be heavy because the whole world’s inside them."
— Cornelia Funke, Inkheart
"In approved places, every story serves a purpose. But forbidden books are so much more. Some of them are webs; you can feel your way along their threads, but just barely, into strange and dark corners. Some of them are balloons bobbing up through the sky: totally self contained, and unreachable, but beautiful to watch.
And some of them-the best ones-are doors."
— Lauren Oliver, Pandemonium
