Rachel’s Quotes

“There is something infinitely better than happily ever after. There is happiness. Happiness is a living, dynamic thing, Eve, and has to be worked on every moment for the rest of our lives. It is a far more exciting prospect than that silly static idea of a happily ever after. Would you not agree?”
― Mary Balogh, Slightly Married

I agree! I LOVE books. I also have a 2011 reading challenge set up on here which is a cool feature I think - working on 100 books this year (just finished the 90th). Sometimes I spend far too much time looking up books on here... that's why my to read list is so massive!

Thanks for the recommendations! I have spent hours of this day (desk-warming day) developing my goodreads. With each new comment on FB I am sent into new exciting search through descriptions and reviews galore. I think books are the one subject I can't get bored of :D
