god my absolute favorite feeling is devouring a book, when you get so into the pages and the words that you have to stop your eyes from skipping lines and force yourself to read every word, when you’re so impatient for what happens next that you can’t sit still while reading, when you have to re read whole pages because you were too busy predicting and anticipating that you missed the actual events, when you read a part that’s too good for words and you have to close the book and scream into your pillow, that’s what reading a truly great book is about and the feeling is even better when you haven’t found a book like that in a long time and then you stumble across one and something inside of you awakens

Today I went out as a tourist in my own city. A good thing to do since I discovered a bookstore that has been there over 30 years and I didn’t even know! The basement was full of secondhand books. 😍
The library at Stourhead, Wiltshire. The library was built in
1792 by Moulton & Atkinson for Sir Richard Colt Hoare, who filled it with his collection of books about art, antiquities and topography. Much of the furniture was commissioned from
Thomas Chippendale the Younger. The lunette window was made by enameller Frances in 1803 and is
based on Raphael’s School of Athens fresco, depicting the great thinkers of the classical world.
