Loneliness has been no stranger to me... and neither has that dreadful sense of being out of step with everyone else, of being the only one who can't quite find the rhythm to which the rest of the world moves.

Instead, I choose to float in this happiness, and to imagine all the possibilities that lie ahead - for they are as boundless as the sea.

Do you have a favorite Shakespearean play?
I think A Midsummer Night's Dream and Macbeth are my favorites, though I admit I haven't read any or seen them peepers since high school.
I am absolutely in LOVE with this new cover! The original is also great, but I adore this art style from @4resna. And the typography from @manicfemme? *chef's kiss* I can't wait to dive into this book!
I'm glad this Romeo and Juliet retelling doesn't have a tragic ending. I always had reservations about the whole story of R&J because Juliet was a literal child. The whole thing was weird. But still excited to read this one!

A person can only lose so many good things before he begins to expect all good things to be taken from him, sooner or later.

Latest haul today!
I visited my local book store today and found some more books. I think I was able to get so many because everything I found today was from the bargain section. I am surprised people don’t drive by where I live and think my house is another branch of the local library……
