Take my books - please!:

You may or may not know that the final countdown is on to moving the HELL out of Wisconsin forever and ever. That means getting rid of most of my belongings, 90% of which are books.

If you belong to PaperBack Swap, that link will take you to my list of posted books. If you want to make a private deal (like order a bunch for reduced credits), just PM me. If I don’t get rid of them before we leave, they will just be donated anyway.

If you don’t belong to PaperBack Swap, SIGN UP HERE because it’s a lovely service where I have gotten my hands on lots of books I haven’t been able to find anywhere else, and practically for free. Oh, and then request my books.

I have about 100 up right now, which means I still have 500 more to get rid of before we leave.

8bitbowtie:

I was so nervous talking to a man that I have admired for twelve years of my life. The man who let me know as a child that miserable things happen and that’s perfectly normal. The same man who helped me overcome my fear of reading after being screamed at by my teacher that I would never be able to read anything my grade level, only to have a college level reading skill by the end of sixth grade. My motivation to write and keep doing whatever I want because no matter who tries to bring me down, I know that I can overcome it just like I did those years ago.

I blushed and stuttered, barely getting out a ‘this may sound dorky, but thank you for everything you’ve done for me’. I hadn’t told him the tragedies that had gone on in my life in specifics. I thanked him for giving me a chance when so many adults did not and how I found it ironic that I still love a series about miserable children when I practically went through the same thing. And even though I’ve heard ‘I’m sorry’ so many times about every death, every terrible thing that has happened, I have never heard one so sincere.

Here I was beating myself up about failing to convey myself in front of this wonderful man. How I missed my chance. Putting my things away, I grabbed my book and peeked inside to see this. And I began to cry.

This is a man who I have never met before. A man I have only dreamt of meeting since I was very small. But yet in one small sentence he has managed to move me entirely. A sentence that has needed to be said for a long time now.

‘To Bridget, who has suffered enough.’

this is fucking beautiful.
