“Most things will be okay eventually, but not everything will be. Sometimes you'll put up a good fight and lose. Sometimes you'll hold on really hard and realize there is no choice but to let go. Acceptance is a small, quiet room.”
― Tiny Beautiful Things: Advice on Love and Life from Dear Sugar

“I'll never know, and neither will you, of the life you don't choose. We'll only know that whatever that sister life was, it was important and beautiful and not ours. It was the ghost ship that didn't carry us. There's nothing to do but salute it from the shore.”

― Tiny Beautiful Things: Advice on Love and Life from Dear Sugar
“What if I forgave myself? I thought. What if I forgave myself even though I'd done something I shouldn't have? What if I was a liar and a cheat and there was no excuse for what I'd done other than because it was what I wanted and needed to do? What if I was sorry, but if I could go back in time I wouldn't do anything differently than I had done? What if I'd actually wanted to fuck every one of those men? What if heroin taught me something? What if yes was the right answer instead of no? What if what made me do all those things everyone thought I shouldn't have done was what also had got me here? What if I was never redeemed? What if I already was?”

Polls

February 2016The book for February will be from our 2015 Holiday Book Swap! There will be more books than the typical poll for this one.
Due to the abnormally long length of time between meetings... and since there is no discussion on which books will be added for this poll, it will run immediately. I will announce the winner on Sunday 1/10/15 after the poll ends.
This poll will be open for voting from Monday 12/21/15 thru Saturday 1/9/15.

ReadMe: Remember.... Please try to vote for a book that you didn't gift. It's not a rule, it's just a suggestion so that everyone isn't voting for a book they have already read - and thus causing a 7 way tie.![]()
