What is the use of a book, without pictures or conversations?
Pam has
read 18 books toward her goal of 25 books.
It is our choices, Harry, that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities.
She is too fond of books, and it has turned her brain
Quote of the Day
Grace was in all her steps, heaven in her eye,
In every gesture dignity and love.

Ever wonder what some of your favorite characters might say in text messages to each other? With a little poetic license, let’s re-imagine a scene from The House of Order from chapter “Little Blue Box”:
Jefita: Relles? Relles! Ven acqui!
Relles: Si Jefita?
Jefita: Hijo, go down to Joe’s Grocery and get my little blue box.
Relles: {no response}
Jefita: Relles, are you listening??
Relles: Si, Jefita
Jefita: Don’t go to Marshall’s, just go to Joes’s. Sabes?
Relles: …Why can’t you go?
Jefita: Hijo I’m frying calabacitas for Jefe’s lunch. Get going. 
———
Neto: Why does Jefita need a little blue box?
Tevo: Cabron, it’s because she’s opening up and bleeding.
Relles: Shut up, Tevo. Go back home.
Tevo: She puts them down in between her legs and keeps herself dry, cabron.
Relles: Shut up, Tevo.
Neto: What’s a blue box, Relles? Why does she put them down between her legs?
Relles: Shut up Neto.
Neto: No, I want to know.
Tevo: A woman bleeds because she’s got pains. She flushes her eggs out once a month and bleeds. Give me the box and I’ll show you.
Neto: What eggs? Flushes ‘em where? Down the toilet?
Relles: That’s enough, cabrones. I don’t want to know about the Jefita’s eggs or her bleeding. Now shut up or I’ll tell the Jefe. smh
——————-
Jefita: THE HELL HAPPENED HERE? Damn it, I give you one job and you can’t even do that. I can even count on you to do one thing for me porque chingando.
Relles: Lo siento, Jefita
Jefita: Oy lo! Sorry? WHAT HAPPENED??
Relles: I dropped it, mama.
—————–
Jefita: Your Jefe comes and goes. Your brother is all over the place. You’re the man when the Jefe’s gone. I rely on you.
Relles: Are you bleeding, mama?
Jefita: Who told you that?
Relles: Nobody
Jefita: These are for women
Relles: Yes, mama
Jefita: You dont need to know no more.
Relles: {no response}
—————
Jefita: GO TO BED.
Relles: fml

Narnia! It’s all in the wardrobe just like I told you!
It’s so much more friendly with two.
let the wild rumpus begin
Oh well… I’d just been thinking, if you had died, you’d have been welcome to share my toilet
It would be so nice if something would make sense for a change.
If you want to make a song more hummy, add a few tiddely poms.
I can’t do anything,” says Peeta, “unless you count baking bread.”
In the light of the moon a little egg lay on a leaf.
Reading is one form of escape. Running for your life is another
I solemnly swear that I am up to no good
It’s not that there’s anything so wrong with Keith—well, his eyes are sort of uneven.
