- first of all, this is my favorite statue in Budapest. You can see her all the way from the sidewalks of Pest.
- second, this blog could be about books.
- lastly, i will try to quote things i find wonderful/funny/and random.
I try to read as much as humanly possible. This is more difficult when school comes around. I have been reading others' blogs a lot lately and they all have interesting things to say about the book world and recommendations, etc. I will try to put what I think is interesting up here too.
