Library Haul!

I love reading. And I love owning books, but I also am constantly at the library. When I was growing up, I visited the library with my mom and my sisters. In our town it was a brick building (in my memory it's huge) across the street from a park with a pond, where we would go after we'd checked out a new stack of books to lay in the grass and watch the ducks.

My current library is also a brick building, actually. No duck pond nearby, unfortunately, but it's a lovely place with lovely people.

Here's what I have out:

-Brideshead Revisited by Evelyn Waugh (what I'm reading now, as you can see by the bookmark)

-These Fragile Graces, This Fugitive Heart by Izzy Wasserstein

-The Besieged City by Clarice Lispector

-Our Wives Under the Sea by Julia Armfield

-Family Lexicon by Natalia Ginzburg

-Parasol Against the Axe by Helen Oyeyemi

This mini-comic was written by @laurenjames​ and drawn by me, Alice Oseman!
