“The best kind of people are the ones who come into your life, and make you see the sun where you once saw clouds. The people who believe in you so much, you start to believe in you too. The people who love you, simply for being you.”

I’ve come to the realization that my Booklr is slowly becoming a Jane Austen/Pride & Prejudice fanpage

[thehappybookworm]

So was mine, haha! I think it’s safe to say, I —alongside numerous other Pride and Prejudice fans— would like a Mr. Darcy-level confession someday.

When Mr.Darcy said, "If your feelings are still what they were last April, tell me so at once. My affections and wishes have not changed, but one word from you will silence me forever. If, however, your feelings have changed, I will have to tell you, you have bewitched me body and soul, and I love, I love, I love you. I never wish to be parted from you from this day on," my expectation in romance was forever changed

Especially after saying you’d only read one chapter before bed!

A part of the book lover experience is staying up till 3am to finish a book

[thehappybookworm]

It’s such a magical place...

Most people don’t seem to realize what gentle warmth and solace that the sturdy walls of a well-loved library can bring. I believe everyone should experience that sort of gentle familiarity at least once in their lifetime.
