Finally, he said out loud to her, “the only thing I want and the only thing I need is to listen to you breathing beside me.” Those few words fluttered into her heart - no, those few words fluttered into her soul. It made her want to reach out for more,...

The Dark Side of Chocolate →
jonathan-cunningham:

11 Most Ironically Banned Books Of All Time →
Speaking about the ban of Harry Potter books, “I also find it fitting that people have worked tirelessly to ban the one book that made an entire generation of kids want to read books. “Harry Potter” did more for literacy than Hooked on Phonics and Pizza Hut’s Book It combined.”
I have to laugh because it’s so completely true.

My boyfriend and I are taking my grandma and little cousin out to eat and to the bookstore today. There’s something really magical about buying books.
As a New Years resolution, I’m going to attempt to read at least 52 books this year, so I gotta start collecting some books, right?
52 books in 52 weeks -2011 →

Challenge accepted, even though I know by the end of 2011 I would have read less than 52 books, it’s worth the shot anyway.
Feel free to join in the challenge on goodreads. Read the rules too. Yes, there are rules, reading is serious business yo.
Thanks...

It’s funny how when you’re having a bad, it doesn’t take much more than a smile from a stranger to cheer ya up. Thank you stranger for your therapeutic smile.
