being a bookworm is knowing that it’s not that you buy too many books, but that you can shop faster than you can read

when you just want to inhale quaint old books in a quaint old bookshop while listening to the quiet patter of october rain

when a bookworm says 'I'll read that next' which actually means they'll read it within 5 to 500 working days

when all you want is to inherit a large and mysterious fortune in order to buy all the books, but you get a monday instead

Word of the Day is ‘tandsmør’, from Danish. It describes bread that is buttered so thickly you can see tooth marks in it after every bite. Its literal translation? ‘Tooth butter’.

‘I loved The Scandal of the Season - such a fun sequel featuring more of the feisty Fairfax sisters! As a historical fashion nerd, I very much appreciated the gorgeous descriptions of clothes & the fabulous Parisian setting. Bring on Josephine's story next year!’ … 1/2
