Maya's Musings

 

I love books, paper, words, libraries, reading and writing. I read pretty much anything (though shy away from intense sci-fi, history and horror). Here, I share my musings on books and bookish things with fellow book lovers. Choose a book and join the party!

 

“The only thing you absolutely have to know, is the location of the library.” ― Albert Einstein
