The Librarian's Corner

I love book displays, coffee/tea photography, travel destinations, interior design, and vintage looks. Lately, I have bit of an obsession with retro futurism aka The Future That Never Was.

The greatest gift you can give someone is the space to be his or herself, without the threat of you leaving.

I’m not totally mad at you. I’m just sad. You’re all locked up in that little world of yours, and when I try knocking on the door, you just sort of look up for a second and go right back inside.

Haruki Murakami, Norwegian Wood (via larmoyante)

ROBOTS OR DINOSAURS?

“I like books that aren’t just lovely but that have memories in themselves. Just like playing a song, picking up a book again that has memories can take you back to another place or another time.”

Nia and I found this book in the library. There is no context, description, or listed author. Every page is a picture of Humphrey Bogart. The only words we could find were the title and the dedication.

32 libraries own that title.  Fantastic.

I need this.

Love it!
