Kelsy Reads

A blog about anything relating to the written word.

[wordsnquotes]

Write what you know will always be excellent advice for those who ought not to write at all. Write what you think, what you imagine, what you suspect!

Gore Vidal (via wordsnquotes)

We brought our Azkabanned Books Club tee back - this time with a pumpkin spice spin. Tell everyone in your life you read banned books and enjoy those delicious autumnal scents like nutmeg and clove.

(Okay. So it’s not actually scented. That part will have to happen in your head - but why should that mean it’s not real?)

Grab yours at hpa10.com!

October Book Photo Challenge

Day 2:  Out of this world!

I was intending to include my copy of Ender’s Game but, alas, I left it at home.  And yes, I included The Martian yesterday but it’s awesome so far and it came out in theaters today, so yay!

(Plus Out of this World, the top book, is not actually about space, it’s about otherworldly journeys in religious texts, but the title was the same so yeah, there it is.)

“The loneliest moment in someone’s life is when they are watching their whole world fall apart, and all they can do is stare blankly.”

Nothing, however, can be more arrogant, though nothing is commoner than to assume that of Gods there is only one, and of religions none but the speaker’s.

Virginia Woolf, Orlando (via dukeofbookingham)

least favorite adverbs? mine is 'gingerly.'

I think anytime you use the word ‘sexily’ you’ve already lost.

Both flowers and weeds spring, when the sun is warm, And great men do great good, or else great harm.

Hey anyone who might be reading this,

So the blog I follow and usually do book photo challenges from decided to not make a new photo challenge this month, so I’m working on making my own right now.  I doubt anyone will do it, but just wanted to put it out there!  It should be up soon (and day 1 is what books are you reading this month).
