the phantom tollbooth

I'm not regularly a re-reader. I figure I only live once, so why not read all the books I can with the time I have? But my philosophy is slowly but surely starting to change due to a little book called the The Phantom Tollbooth. Do yourself a favor and reread your favorite childhood book. 

You won't regret it and it'll make you feel like a kid again - full of wonder.

 A Wrinkle in Time is in progress as we speak... What's your pick?

This colorblocking is courtesy of spending all day in the AC and Everybody, Everywear. 

If you haven't checked it out, it's cool and you should.

Clothes, shoes and purse: all thrifted, earrings by me, similar are available here.

Go read a book.
