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!

I was an adventurer, a traveler, a magic student; God, I was whole. drunk on words for hours….being pulled out at twilight by my mother’s voice, calling me for dinner. eating in a daze, sneaking back up the stairs to fall back in love. minutes and hours and midnight…falling asleep, book clutched in my hand.
