  9. Totally true. My best friends are all avid readers. We might not even read the same books but we read. And the picture goes so well with the text - as always.
    Thanks, Lark.

    2. You can sense it. They are a lot more open to any subject and you can talk to them as opposed to being told what they think about the world. And you better agree.

  10. Yeah the Quote is a winner. I'm trying to figure if the woman is reading the book aloud but it doesn't look like it. The two are just sitting close.
