"The last thing I wanted was infinite security and to be the place an arrow shoots off from. I wanted change and excitement and to shoot off in all directions myself, like the colored arrows from a Fourth of July rocket." (p.83)

Boy, do I see myself here. My husband and I were together for 7 yrs before I was ready to get engaged and take on that commitment. He was super patient. To make up for it, I proposed! #girlpower #independent #marriage

I love small bookstores. There is a plethora of literature that hasn‘t been censored for a reader‘s perusal. #radicallit #Detroit #independent

Megara @Amiable Shoot me an e-mail if you‘d like! I‘d love to get to know local book people. I‘ll be making trips back and forth between VA and CT to visit family, so I‘m certainly not disappearing! megara.christine@gmail.com 6y

"Granny Weatherwax made a great play of her independence and self-reliance. But the point about that kind of stuff was that you needed someone around to be proudly #independent and self-reliant at. People who didn't need people needed people around to know that they were the kind of people who didn't need people.” #QuotsyJuly18

julesG There is so much I love about this quote. 6y

SaraRosett I‘m looking forward to this one! 6y
writerlibrarian @SaraRosett It's a good first novel of a cozy series I hope. All the women characters are good. From the maid to the aunt. Not paper thin at all and good women friendship. (edited) 6y
SaraRosett @writerlibrarian Oh, now I‘m even more excited to read it. I have it on hold and I‘m next. 😀 6y

Miss Bingley doesn't think much of ladies being independent, especially when it comes to Elizabeth, but it's Elizabeth's independence, along with her wit and fine eyes, that attract Mr. Darcy. 💙

KatieCarpenter Still one of my favorite books of all time! 6y
