Visited a used book store in DC today (Capital Hill Books) as a way to get out of the house. It was so nice, I can't believe I don't own it :( the place was originally a 3-story apartment but now there's just hundreds and hundreds of books crammed everywhere. When I was in the basement the ceiling was like 5 inches above my head and I was deeply afraid that there would be an earthquake and I would be buried under books and the whole place would collapse on me 😅 Bought 3 books! 1. Master and Commander by Patrick O'Brian which is on my April tbr list, so score! 2. Pride and Prejudice because it's time for a reread! My other copy has pages falling out so I can't touch it 3. Angels in America All the online reviews about the owner being a crotchety old man and sorta unpleasant were right, but the store still has a great vibe so I'll visit again soon. I really want to own a used book store now.
i’m so sorry for being a customer, i want to leave you alone but sometimes i have to buy things or eat. please understand i use self checkout whenever i can
This is Avonlea, at least it’s the Avonlea I know with all its many inhabitants of whom I am fiercely proud to say I am one. We are farmers, true; one and all we come from noble, hearty stock - Scottish, English, and Irish. We are proud and God-fearing, too, I believe that good fortune has shown on us making this island our very happy home, and you may be sure life here is not all work and no play. Avonlea likes its drama, and we do it too with plenty of zip and enthusiasm. I like to think of us as one large family, and like true family members well, we don’t always get along. We’re not perfect, no, but we do care a great deal for one another, and one day when we grow old and bid adieu to this fair Earth wonders hope they’ll be others to take our place who feel as passionately about Avonlea as we do. Why someday the images you see may be all that’s left of the town we love so dearly.
I have literally never. Not ONCE In my entire fucking life met ONE SINGLE MAN that read comic books who was hot. Not ONE. never have I come face to face with a hot guy who likes comics it’s always DRASTICALLY the opposite aka literal hideous pariahs so I just wanna know WHY me, an actual hot girl, would PRETEND to like comic books because I don’t think it’s fair that the real life hunchback of notredam has a right to interrogate me every time I go to the comics store

there’s fennel for you, and columbines. there’s rue for you, and here’s some for me. we may call it herb of grace o’ sundays. o, you must wear your rue with a difference! there’s a daisy. i would give you some violets, but they wither’d all when my father died.
Playing with a dowel that fell on the floor lol. He just wandered in after lunch and stayed there. Hung out with us for like 3 hours. Was a very interesting day.
Stupid damned souls protest in vain and try to deny the colossal and minutely detailed account of sins, foolishnesses and assorted wicked things that they committed in life. Jacobello Alberegno, ‘Triptyque de'l Apocalypse’ ~ ca.1390 Bibliothèque Infernale on FB
Also hellooooo that quote (even the best fall down sometimes) is perfect for Stargirl! Great background as well. Also Jerry Spinelli is AWESOME and an amazing children’s writer.
