From The Monsters of Templeton by Lauren Groff, page 88:

When I was small and easily wounded, books were my carapace. If I were recalled to my hurts in the middle of a book, they somehow mattered less. My corporeal life was slight; the dazzling one in my head was what really mattered. Returning to books was coming home.

I've returned to my hometown of Templeton in upstate New York after a disastrous love affair in the Alaskan tundra.

That sounds sad. At least she had books.

This book has caught my eye the last couple times I've been in B&N. Hope you're enjoying it!
I like that teaser, very interesting.
Here's mine.
I'm intrigued by your teaser.
I won this one a while a back. I really need to actually read it!
I like the sentiment of "Returning to books was coming home." I feel the same way, don't you?
I can relate. Can’t wait to hear what you think. Here’s one tease and my other teaser.
