seduce me with your book collection
More you might like
I adore books and reading. Absolutely adore it. And I don’t buy them. I cannot possibly afford all the adventures and love stories and mysteries I want to explore, although I wish with all my heart that I could, and I wish I had shelves upon shelves to peruse. I am so so grateful for libraries. But you know what I find so special about libraries? They’re charming, yes. They’re vast and beautiful and full of wonder, yes. They can be small and intimate, yes. But what I adore most, is that there are others out there in the same situation as I am. They visit libraries and they borrow books and the books do not borrow their hearts in turn, but they steal them and refuse to give them back. They thus leave a print, a mark, a sign that magic had taken place. The book that is now in my eager hands? Someone else may have clutched it to their chest, savoring every beautifully crafted sentence. Someone else may have looked up to the ceiling, muttering with exasperation, oh silly character what are you doing?! Someone else may have been so moved, the book in their lap, tears on their cheeks. All of this may have happened because of a particular book that I may have grabbed from the shelves. Ticket for one please, to where? I don’t know. Where this book plans to take me, where it took so many others. May we dwell in the same lands and dream the same stars.

Petition for Warner Bros to hold auditions for the non-elite/face roles of the selected for fans to go to and be in the movie!
Because that would be rad.

I reposted it a while back, so if you want you could search for it and sing it. It was on change.org I believe.
And when I was young, did I ever tell you, I always wanted to get inside a book and never come out again? I loved reading so much I wanted to be a part of it, and there were some books I could have stayed in for ever.

Two things. What made you choose the name Annika for Henri's sister, and what was the funny line that didn't make it into "The Crown?" (Hey, you asked for a reminder! Also, the end of the book surprised me. But at least I got the homeland right! :D)

Annika is a gift you all gave me. You chose her name, and I did my best to find a place to mention it in the book. And the funny line…
