“Come with me,’ Mom says.
To the library.
Books and summertime
go together.”
― Lisa Schroeder, I Heart You, You Haunt Me
“One benefit of Summer was that each day we had more light to read by.”
― Jeannette Walls, The Glass Castle
“The library in summer is the most wonderful thing because there you get books on any subject and read them each for only as long as they hold your interest, abandoning any that don’t, halfway or a quarter of the way through if you like, and store up all that knowledge in the happy corners of your mind for your own self and not to show off how much you know or spit it back at your teacher on a test paper.”
― Polly Horvath, My One Hundred Adventures
“The house was quiet and the world was calm.
The reader became the book; and summer night,
Was like the conscious being of the book.
The house was quiet and the world was calm.”
― Wallace Stevens
“But usually, I watched Linda read. I couldn’t believe she’d read so much in summer! Sometimes she laughed, reading her book, and one time she even cried. I didn’t know how anyone could make such a big deal about books.”― Alex Flinn, Beastly
