Dr. Dolittle first took shape in illustrated letters that Lofting, #botd in 1886, wrote to his family and children from the trenches of WWI. Beloved stories, less successful adaptations, but then the books weren't cut out for Hollywood blockbusters.

Your local librarian here to say that it’s great if you read lots of books this year, alright if you read barely anything, that audiobooks, romance and graphic novels are all valid formats and genres, and that some authors suck but we’re still not stopping you from reading them.

Eventually loneliness and snow became the same thing in her mind, lighter than air, made of nothing; only upon tackling the stuff did you realize it had piled too heavy to yield.
