"It is an inside joke of history that all its most exciting adventures inevitably end their careers as homework. Beheadings, rebellions, thousand-year wars, incest on the royal throne, electricity, art, opera, dogs in outer space."

"Thirty-Three?" Sepulveda shouts. "The age of Christ! ...' Several other men repeat the phrase... Even for men who aren't especially religious, the number carries an eerie meaning."

#Day17 of #AugustPhotoChallenge : my library! I love this chair cuz it has a little table to keep things near. I like the break away from home with free a/c and no distractions.
The new release waitlists are almost nonexistent, the staff is wonderful, their book club is well organized, and the craft nights are fun. Let's hear it for the library! #FavePlaceToRelax #Library
#Day16 of the #AugustPhotoChallenge is a shout out to my #FaveAuthorCollab Lex Thomas!
Lex Thomas is Lex Hrabe and Thomas Voorhies -together they make the awesome YA series Quarantine! Imagine a terrible disease takes hold of your high school, and to contain it the administration has decided to keep all of you QURANTINED inside the school. And you thought your high school years were tough 😏
#Day15 of #AugustPhotoChallenge is #PeachColoredBooks - #Sweetbitter is my #TBR #LibraryBook - but I gotta give it up to my favorite of the bunch #StarSideOfBirdHill #YayBooks!

You might earn a living with your pursuits or you might not, but you can recognize that this is not really the point . And at the end of your days you can thank creativity for having blessed you with a charmed, interesting, passionate existence.

I wanted to be hiding in the stall right next to the Kincaids!

"We need a new kind of politics, one that can excavate and build upon those shared understandings that pull us together as Americans."
Copyright 2006? An eternity ago!
This #Goodwill find is still on my #TBR list but fits the bill for #BooksRelatedToPolitics on #Day11 of the #AugustPhotoChallenge

"Eyes open against the stinging salt, he sees coral like a crowded, crumbling city, busy with variously marked, spotted, dotted, striped, lit, pompous, and playful sea creatures...at a certain time of day a tribe of flat silver fish gather in their thousands...a thousand mirrors shattering about him."
#Day10 of the #AugustPhotoChallenge brings me to the beauty of this book - it's one of the VERY few I've given a 5 star review to #LaidBackBooks
I can't express how much I love this book - so I won't even try. My one and only choice for #Day9 of the #AugustPhotoChallenge because it is the top of my #AllTimeFavoriteBooks
#AtLeastOnceAYear #AsOftenAsPossible #MyFavoriteBook #MyValve #ImAVeryAttractiveWoman
"That's why I call the mothers there 'gnats.' Because they're annoying, but not so annoying that you actually want to spend valuable energy on them."
#Day8 of the #AugustPhotoChallenge goes to Where'd You Go because it's so funny and sweet, it's one of a few #BooksThatMadeYouSmile
"Feeling better?" Jack asked gingerly, watching me out of the corner of his eye.
"Immeasurably." And I was. I didn't give a damn anymore. "I needed this", I added, holding up my glass.
I want a good friend by my side on a long, contemplative, road trip... with a glass of wine. Jack and Miles forever!
#Day7 #FavoriteBookishFriendship #AugustPhotoChallenge
"Los Angeles come to me the way I came to you, my feet over your streets, you pretty town I loved you so much, you sad flower in the sand, you pretty town."
#Day6 of the #AugustPhotoChallenge for #MinimalisticCovers goes to this edition of Ask The Dust
Ready for the weekend #LibraryLove #Friday
The meanest athlete and Olympian in Children's Fiction -- Ms Trunchbull!
#Day5 of the #AugustPhotoChallenge :

"Twenty years after the end of air travel, the caravans of the Traveling Symphony moved slowly under a white hot sky...the lead caravan carries [the] additional line of text: Because Survival is insufficient."
I pay homage to the nomadic theater company of Station Eleven on #Day4 of the #AugustPhotoChallenge because when all else is gone we'll still have Shakespeare. #BookishSquads
"All that time I had spent readying myself...the boys had spent that time becoming themselves"
"...murmuring of the pity of it all, the stupidity of it all, the absurdity of a hopelessly bad writer like myself buried in a cheap hotel in Los Angeles, California, of all places, writing banal things the world would never read and never get a chance to forget."
