The kind of #library that inspires awe like this doesn't need to put up signs to ensure that #readers speak in hushed voices! 😀

What spare time???

Prepare to never again have ANY extra time.

Not an hour to spare.

Maybe not many *minutes* 😉

For those who need to have it explained to them that Sally Rooney is not a terrorist. Sigh.

Maybe that was true in #Alcott's era!

Today, there are an endless number of good #books.

So, I am FAR more parsimonious in selecting my friends than in filling my #bookshelf 😏

When you’re hyperfocusing on writing late at night and your brain is like:

Time for bed?
No. I’m writing.
Sleep?
No Im writing
Bed?

Really?
