Books may well be the only true magic. ― Alice Hoffman In our own world, perhaps, yes. But in Lucas Tripp’s world… Well, in Lucas’s world true magic is not confined entirely to the books for which he has a special love, the books for which, as his queen’s librarian, he is solely responsible. In... Continue Reading →

“…when you really love something, then it loves you back, in whatever way it has to love.” - John Knowles, A Separate Peace And sometimes the same applies to someone, and that alone has to be good enough because to expect anything more is asking too much of the one you love.
