For those who don't know me...I love quotes. Today I'm keeping it simple and just sharing some of my favorite clusters of words. I've copied and pasted them from Goodreads.com, where you can find me drowning in a sea of "must read" book lists. I'm hoping to actually start posting reviews...when I catch the elusive thing called time.
That is all for today.

The crownless again shall be king.”
