Hello, I'm Maggie. I am eighteen years old. I love books, owls, and saving the planet. My dream is to be a sailor, and I would love to have a ship with a library.

“With him, I tried a little harder. I watched the contents of his soul for a moment and saw a black-painted boy calling the name Jesse Owens as he ran through an imaginary tape. I saw him hip-deep in some icy water, chasing a book, and I saw a boy lying in bed, imagining how a kiss would taste from his glorious next door neighbor. He does something to me, that boy. Every time. It’s his only detriment. He steps on my heart. He makes me cry.”

The Book Thief, Markus Zusak
