Found this lovely today at the Book Sorting, too, and they were going to throw it out!! Truthfully, it wouldn't sell, so it's best to pass those things on, but for a lit lover, this is a delight. And it's been on my Wish List for years.

Browsing my reader's encyclopedia today for inspiration on new reads! This book was given to me when I graduated from high school by my amazing piano teacher, and I still have it after ten years and seven moves. There's no way I'd be able to read everything mentioned, but it's been a great resource for me and a balm on the insanity of this morning. Oh, and that's Earl Grey in the corner. Healing the headaches! #bookandbrew #photoadaynov16
