I already have about a million copies each of Jane Eyre and Pride & Prejudice but I couldn’t resist these softly bound Canterbury editions at Costco. They’re pretty and really light and portable. ๐Ÿ˜ 
OT story: There was a little boy at Costco asking his dad “How many books can I get?” Argh, so cute. I love seeing the love of reading still alive in the next generation. If that was my little boy I would have said “As many as you want” instead of the dad’s answer “It depends” ๐Ÿ“–๐Ÿ“š๐Ÿ’— #books

Fiction writing is a twenty-four-hour-a-day occupation. You never leave your work behind. It is always with you, and to some extent, you are always thinking about it. You donโ€™t take your work home; your work never leaves home. It lives inside you. It resides and grows and comes alive in your mind. Terry Brooks (via amandaonwriting)
