"I wanted to lose myself in happy memories, to be inhabited by gentle novels, to live deep inside books."

  9. Now that quote speaks to me — and what a lovely photo. I imagine she’s at an event surrounded by people she wished would leave hr along to read her book!

  13. I always think dresses like hers are gorgeous, but I'm glad I'm from the blue jeans and t-shirt era. I don't think corsets and I would get along.

  14. Beautiful quote and picture! In 200 years, do you think there will be paintings of us reading books in yoga pants and baggy t-shirts?
