"Stories are for joining the past to the future. Stories are for those late hours in the night when you can't remember how you got from where you were to where you are. Stories are for eternity, when memory is erased, when there is nothing to remember except the story. . . But this too is true: stories can save us." /// Once upon a time Nicke from @page261 messaged me about coming up with a bookish mug for her shop. After weeks of brainstorming and horrible ideas on my part (I could only think of cheesy puns I swear), it was when I posted a line from THE THINGS THEY CARRIED that Nicke messaged me and was like THAT THAT THAT. Hence, this mug was born. /// Page 261 got its name from Nicke's favorite page of GOD-SHAPED HOLE, a book that called to her, means something to her--and helped save her. This lovely "Stories Can Save Us" mug debuted in @page261's shop today, and for the month of March a portion of the mug's proceeds will go to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. So if you're going to get one (and you should!), now's the time. /// 👉🏻What story saved you? #bookstagram #bookgram #booknerdigans #booknerd #bookish #instabook #igreads #epicreads #bookstagramfeature #bookishfeatures #booksoutofdoors #booksandnature #bookishglee #violetfeatures #bookstagrammer #libraryofinstagram #libraryofbookstagram #pnw #thethingstheycarried #timobrien #godshapedhole #tiffaniedebartolo #storiescansaveus #thepowerofbooks #booksandcoffee #bookmerch #bookmug #mugsofinstagram #page261love (at Save Your Story)

"I spent my life folded between the pages of books. In the absence of human relationships I formed bonds with paper characters. I lived love and loss through stories threaded in history; I experienced adolescence by association. My world is one interwoven web of words, stringing limb to limb, bone to sinew, thoughts and images all together. I am a being comprised of letters, a character created by sentences, a figment of imagination formed through fiction." /// It's FRIDAY, and that also means it's THE LAST DAY OF MARCH (and the return of BLUE BLOODS). I have no idea how that happened, but at least April brings my birthday and May brings a very specific winged book sure to ruin me. Also, since it's the last day of March, it's the last day to get this lovely mug from @page261 and have a portion of your purchase go to benefit the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. If you've been wanting to get it, today is the best day to finally do so! #bookstagram #bookgram #booknerdigans #booknerd #bookish #instabook #igreads #epicreads #bookstagramfeature #bookishfeatures #bookishglee #violetfeatures #booksandnature #booksoutofdoors #bookstagrammer #libraryofinstagram #libraryofbookstagram #pnw #booksandcoffee #booksandmugs #bookishmug #bookmug #mugshot #storiescansaveus #page261love (at Story Corner)
