@aworkinglibrary … I read on paper still, so the evidence of time spent is visible in dog-eared corners and coffee stains, in curling covers and the occasional broken spine. I’m hardest on the books I love the most, so that more than one of them is neighbored by a newer edition: not replaced (because I would never forsake my margin notes) but accompanied by a copy that will decay in its own way, soon enough.

From @aworkinglibrary’s fifteenth birthday post 1
There are books here that have taken up residence in my mind. Or perhaps more accurately, I have lived long residencies within them, have curled up under their eaves and stretched out on the porch, have explored the basements and attics and crawl spaces.

@aworkinglibrary Which leads me to understand how she writes so resonantly.
It’s not just her beautiful mind, but also that she writes with her scars.
Thank you @aworkinglibrary
For all you do, for all you’ve taught me, for the worlds you’ve led me to, and the all the dreams you’ve shown me.
P.S. I now have to go catch up with thirteen to fourteen years worth of writing. There goes June!

- is one of the forces behind #ABookApart 2
- is one of the leading lights of Web Design world
- has put in time as a suit (CEO)

All I knew about @aworkinglibrary when I began following her a year ago is
- she has a doggie called Furiosa
- she thinks about books the way I do. 1
- she reads books and then writes about reading them, the way I always dreamed I could.
- she’s a prominent member of my circle of the #EminentDead 2
