book nerd

i am so in love. 
there is no use in hiding it.
giddy and galloping away in my fantasies. 

"i sometimes think i prefer suitors in books rather than right in front of me"

if that is not a true statement, i don't know what is. i just finished the gurnsey literary and potato peel society {in 2 days, nonetheless} and am irrevocably melted by dawsey. 

what i love about books is i hold the ending in my hand. although it may take me several hours to answer the questions spurning me on, i know i have the answer embedded in pages of ink. i will discover if elizabeth and mr. darcy will end their stubbornness to admit love, or if ella will break the curse and marry char, or if smitty will utter a syllable, or what the terrible-awful was minny concocted. 

i would be charmed to be courted by a suitor from a number of books-- dawsey's coy and soothing shyness, char's freckles and buoyant nature, peeta's selflessness, smitty's quiet seduction, mr. darcy's utter perfection and generosity, tea cake's youthful spontaneity... i have come to love all of these men. 

any recommendations for a new read??

 i am a hopeless romantic, so despite my singledom {or perhaps thanks to my singledom?} i can vicariously fall in love with fictional men.
