youngwizards_dwHere’s a story I thought you guys might appreciate.
A friend of my mom’s bought a tote bag at a charity auction, only to discover there were books inside (they hadn’t been listed with the bag). She didn’t have any interest in them, so offered them to mom knowing I’ll read almost anything. One of the books (Gregory Maguire’s Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister) came pretty badly damaged. As in, it looked like somebody broke the spine trying to make the top touch the bottom.
And my first thought, after what the hell happened to this poor thing was you know, if I knew Speech I could fix this right up. And I spent a few seconds figuring out exactly what would need to be fixed before I caught myself with a wistful sigh.
This probably just shows how eagerly I await the next book.
