A Library-Induced Euphoria















A friend on the BookMooch forum posted a link to photos of the world's most beautiful libraries. I'm sharing it here too.

Get ready to be "shocked into a library-induced euphoria".

Curious Expedition's Librophiliac Love Letter: A Compendium of Beautiful Libraries (6 September 2007)

P.S. I am so building my own library to look like those libraries when I get my own house.

Teaser Tuesdays: 3 March 2009

From page 79 of Confessions of a Jane Austen Addict by Laurie Viera Rigler:

Mrs. Mansfield's face is an alabaster mask. "Tell me, Jane. Do you really think anyone else as amiable or rich will ever make you an offer of marriage? You are thirty years old. And your portion, while not insignificant, is nothing to what a man of Mr. Edgeworth's fortune might rightfully expect. Yet you dare to refuse him. You dare to disoblige me."

I bent the rules a little bit and included more than two sentences!

Teaser Tuesdays: Grab your current read. Let the book fall open to a random page. Share with us two (2) sentences from that page, somewhere between lines 7 and 12. You also need to share the title of the book that you’re getting your “teaser” from … that way people can have some great book recommendations if they like the teaser you’ve given!
