Book cover for I'm Glad My Mom Died
I can tell by their eye rolls that they think I’m bossing them around, but it doesn’t feel like bossiness to me. It feels like desperation. I want order. I want peace. I want my three-hour reprieve from this place.

Lyndsay Faye
“I hope that the epitaph of the human race when the world ends will be: Here perished a species which lived to tell stories.

We tell stories to strangers to ingratiate ourselves, stories to lovers to better adhere us skin to skin, stories in our heads to banish the demons. When we tell truth, often we are callous; when we tell lies, often we are kind. Through it all, we tell stories, and we own an uncanny knack for the task.”
Lyndsay Faye, Jane Steele

Jason Reynolds
“The Fifteenth Amendment was a big deal. But here’s the thing about big deals. If people aren’t careful, they can be tricked into believing a big deal is a done deal. Like there’s no more fight left.”
Jason Reynolds, Stamped: Racism, Antiracism, and You

Nicola Yoon
“Maybe the whole point of love it to make more of itself.”
Nicola Yoon, Instructions for Dancing

P.G. Wodehouse
“There is no surer foundation for a beautiful friendship than a mutual taste in literature.”
P.G. Wodehouse

Michael Moore
“I really didn't realize the librarians were, you know, such a dangerous group.
They are subversive. You think they're just sitting there at the desk, all quiet and everything. They're like plotting the revolution, man. I wouldn't mess with them. You know, they've had their budgets cut. They're paid nothing. Books are falling apart. The libraries are just like the ass end of everything, right?”
Michael Moore
