Things that go bump in the night


Guys. 

The Princess and the Goblin.

George MacDonald is genius and it is the best faery tale of all time. 
Please read it.

It's been my favorite since I was just a wee little gal, reading the copy that my mom had that was falling apart.
And now I check it out from the library and force all my friends to read it.
So read it.

Yet Another One Night Stand

I have a very bad habit of meeting a new book, and instantly becoming obsessed with it. I will go around all day with my focus entirely on the book, I won't eat and I certainly won't sleep until I've finished it. But then at three in the morning when I've finished the book, I'm almost always left with an unsatisfied feeling. Maybe I need to just slow things down, make a longer commitment and enjoy the book a little at a time. But its so difficult for me to stop reading once I start reading, I just become completely infatuated. Its a problem.
