One was a book thief, the other stole the sky. Isabella.

Isn't it odd how much fatter a book gets when you've read it several times? As if something were left between the pages every time you read it. Feelings, thoughts, sounds, smells... and then, when you look at the book again many years later, you find yourself there too.. a slightly younger self, slightly different, as if the book had preserved you like a pressed flower... both strange and familiar.

oh my favorite trope? two people who go through something so unique and agonizing and entirely beyond words that they have no choice but to create a bond that transcends all other types of love, thus acting as the sole point of understanding for the other person in a world that cannot fathom what they’ve been through

Nobody understands the bond between a girl and the mediocre book she read when she was 13 years old.

[captaingondolin]

this is very important: do not re-read the book. it might be still on your shelf, tempting. do not give in, it’s the devil talking and you will be let down*
