PNWBookseller85 @Yossarian oh of course! How famous does a person have to be to have their shoes in a shoe museum? #goals 8y
readinginthedark Jealous! 8y
Yossarian @BeckyMerilatt Winston Churchill's oversized Uggs were a shoe in. Any man in high heels made the cut. Between them, it was a pretty eclectic assortment. 8y

"For she was in love with them all, in love with this world."

Serendipity (noun): when one finds cafe with delicious cookies, iced earl grey, and dozens of books on the walls, including your favorite.

Important but distressing read, softened by some Earl Grey

Finishing two books today helped this total!

Hard to have a high book count when you pick very long books, work, and take classes—but overall a good month :)

Gezemice Song of Solomon is a great book. 8y
