let-the-angels-weep asked: What are your views on shipping? I know you've said it's not okay in one of your posts but I was just wondering why you thought that

Valentine-crafting up a storm at the Book & Craft Club!
A quiet moment in the picture book aisle. It won’t last long!
Just playing around with some statistics today. And really, who doesn’t love a PIE CHART?
OpenSite.org has created an infographic called, “The Future of Libraries,” which imagines what libraries will look like in the future.

Now nobody can find me.
I’ve left my chair, my house, my road,
My town and my world behind me.
I’m wearing the cloak, I’ve slipped on the ring,
I’ve swallowed the magic potion.
I’ve fought with a dragon, dined with a king,
And swam in a bottomless ocean.
I opened a book and made some friends.
I shared their tears and laughter
And followed their roads with its bumps and bends
To the happily ever after.
I finished my book and out I came.
The cloak can no longer hide me.
My chair and my house are just the same,
But I have a book inside me.

This started out as your typical weird-old-mysterious-bookstore novel and went places I never expected. Funny, smart, contemporary, and totally (somehow) magical. Loved it.
(Also, the hardcover glows in the dark! Startling, if you’re the type who reads before bed, but also cool.)
“Books are the mirrors of the soul”- Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë
“Do you think, because I am poor, obscure, plain and little, I am soulless and heartless? You think wrong! - I have as much soul as you, - and full as much heart! And if God had gifted me with some beauty and much wealth, I should have made it as hard for you to leave me, as it is now for me to leave you!”

“People have been saying the novel is dead for as far back as I can remember. The novel will never die, but it will keep changing and evolving and taking different shapes. Storytelling, which is the basis of the novel, has always existed and always will.” —Rosamond Lehmann
