Dusting the Books of Magic

Quote of the week:

"Feeding the snakes every morning," she muttered, "Dusting the Books of Magic on Wednesdays and Saturdays, scraping moss off the stone lions' manes once a week, and once a year a tournament at Darkrock Castle! Nothing exciting ever happens here, Sysiphus. Never ever!"

- Cornelia Funke, Igraine the Brave

I loved that word!

Quote of the week:

I loved that word! When I grew older, I used kira-kira to describe everything I liked: the beautiful blue sky, puppies, kittens, butterflys, colored kleenex.

- Cynthia Kadohata, kira-kira
