Local Bookstores Are The Best
Part One (because I'm sure I will continue to have many things to say on this subject)
There's this one super awesome person who works at the small town local bookstore I frequent. They read over a hundred books a year. They work at three other jobs, including the locally owned game store down the street. They play D&D. They have a shrine in the front of the store when you first walk in dedicated to their recommendations from the hundreds of books they consume. I walk into the store and they are listening to yet another book. Or turning the pages of one. They once turned down the volume "just in case you wanted to read this series so I don't spoil it for you". They tell you the best RPG stuff to get and where to get the coolest dice. They talk books and authors of any genre any timeframe. They help you weigh the pros and cons of starting certain series, or deciding which ones to purchase first. They are the chillest person known to humankind. They are my favorite person to see in that bookstore and I hope both they and the bookstore gain immortality if that's something they'd be interested in.
O dear!
I haven't posted things in a while now, simply because I'm very busy at the moment. Now that the new year has started, my studies have also started and I have to study a lot. In the bookshop I work in, which is down in the valley in the small village, I also have a lot to do at the moment.
Please forgive me :) I'm still active on Tumblr so don't worry
In my free time I'm currently reading a lot about astronomy and stars and herbalism. Or rather, about healing herbs, oils and elixirs. I am very interested in this. I'm reading also a lot about psychology right now.
In general, I just read a lot. xD
Have a wonderful day Ellie :>
Anyone else wanna be a hot, mysterious bookkeeper, who owns a bookshop in a quiet village and makes mysterious and perfect book suggestions?

To Live - Yu Hua
Quotes that I really liked and felt the need to underline:
"All it took was a word from the higher-ups and we'd all think and do whatever they wanted."
"You still owe us a life, hold on to your life to repay us."
"No matter how lucky a person is, the moment he decides he wants to die, there's nothing that will keep him alive."
"No matter how many hardships and difficulties people face in life, they always find a way to console themselves when they get close to death."
"If you go on striving for this and that, you’ll end up paying with your life."
"I thought it must be terrible to be an ox. All their lives they're driven to the point of exhaustion for the work of man, and as soon as they get old and their energy starts to go they get sent off to be slaughteted and eaten."
"My memories of Fengxia are my only happiness."
So...I found this lovely bookshop and now I’m obsessed!!!!!
Aziraphale & Crowley Could’ve Lived Together
The only reason Crowley lived in his car instead of being roommates with Aziraphale was because of Gabriel staying with Aziraphale in the bookshop.
What I say is, A town isn't a town without a bookstore!! #bookshop #street_bookstore #street_book_seller #bookstagram #books📚 #booksamillion #iger #ohkolkata #calcuttacacophony #sokolkata (at India)

It is rarely the book you came to seek, but the book next to that book, which changes your mind and heart.
‘When A Bookstore Closes, An Argument Ends’ by Adam Gopnik, The New Yorker (June 12, 2015)

I'll just leave this here.... 👀
someone please take me on bookstore dates, and talk with me about books, and our futures and aspirations, and then at the end we exchange our favorite books with each other, and drive home listening to music.
