♥ to feel most beautifully alive means to be reading something beautiful.

it is my belief that

there is nothing more glamorous

than being a well-read individual.

since i graduated from college,

 i have made a personal goal 

to read each + every book that strikes my fancy.

whether i hear about it on npr, or read about it on boldype

 i have an ever–growing pile of books that i add to more often than i deplete.

 i am on the constant lookout for the next life.altering novel,

and i truly believe that books are the very 

best accessory a glam girl could carry.

{apparently, so does caitlin at rebound.com,who had the novel idea

 of re.purposing old works into quirky new book.bags!

p.s. you can even send in your own book!! jenny linsky bag, here i come!!}

i often threaten my bestfriends that for my future bachelorette party,

all i want is a a bus that takes us to all the "hot used book spots!"

i am such a nerd. and i love it!

when i was a little girl, i used to have my father 

photocopy and enlarge my favorite r.l. stine fear street book covers to make posters. 

if only we had this site back then! (or internet for that matter!)

or how about making  those dust.collecting book piles go to work for you?

this funky invention, known as "the book stool"

allows you to strap together different configurations of books or magazines,

to make convenient side tables, stools or impromptu seating.
