I truly believe that the key to a happier life is to read more books, eat more scones, and use more Oxford commas.

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but you’re not obligated to justify your choice of music, books, television, or films to anyone.

Just a friendly reminder that your desire to have a bookshelf with a rolling ladder is valid. Don’t allow anyone to disrespect you by telling you otherwise.

Just received my DNA results and apparently my lineage can be traced back to a pumpkin patch nestled in fog on a cool October day with the sound of crows in the distance.

Surround yourself with the kind of people who find the Oxford comma to be illuminative, beautiful, and necessary.

If you don’t want to read Edgar Allan Poe together by candlelight whilst sharing crème brûlée and a bottle of Amontillado in a cottage in the Scottish Highlands during a full moon on a cool October night, then please don’t tell me you’re “relationship material."

Having chocolate-covered espresso beans with my coffee and long story short, I’m suddenly feeling the desire to become a motivational speaker.

All I want is a seaside cottage, the distant rumble of thunder, a vintage mystery novel, a kettle on the stove, a comfortable reading chair, a crackling fire, a raven keeping watch, and a basket of freshly-baked emotional support scones.

I typically only respond to correspondence if it’s in the form of a handwritten letter composed on an oak desk by candlelight using a quill dipped into a bottle of ink, enclosed in an envelope with a wax seal, and sent via raven, so no, I’m afraid I didn’t “see your email."

Remember, if someone tells you that your dream of having a bookshelf with a rolling ladder is "unrealistic", they were never your friend to begin with.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but yes, you do deserve to treat yourself to a day of exploring bookstores, greenhouses, libraries, museums, cafés, and bakeries.

Every time that you use an Oxford comma, you're doing your part to make the world beautiful, meaningful, and understandable.

At the end of the day, don’t we all just want to read books, drink tea, and eat pastries in a humble seaside cottage during a raging storm?

At the moment, I'm regrettably not having cappuccinos and croissants in a quaint café in Vienna, so no, I'm afraid your email did not "find me well.”

Don’t allow anyone to tell you that your dream of going off the grid and becoming a bookstore owner with a mysterious backstory who has a quaint shop on a cobblestone side street in Edinburgh is “unrealistic."

People don't make their soup in a cauldron over an open fire under a full moon with the sound of wolves in the distance anymore, and honestly, I think that’s a shame.

A thunderstorm enhances the reading experience by at least 52%.

Remember, it’s perfectly acceptable if your weekend plans consist of nothing other than reading a good book, drinking multiple cups of tea, and indulging in a scandalous amount of chocolate croissants.

All I want is a cool October night, a full moon, a vintage copy of Bram Stoker's Dracula, a mysterious Victorian mansion, a crackling fire, an emotional support owl, a basket of freshly-baked scones, and the heartwarming sound of wolves in the distance.

Whenever I meet someone who supports the Oxford comma, I find myself encouraged, delighted, and hopeful.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but one day, you will pull a loose book from a bookshelf and that hidden door will finally open for you.

Okay but hear me out: A book club, and everyone brings a cat.

I find it difficult to trust anyone who doesn’t consider The Princess Bride to be one of the greatest films of all-time.

If you don’t occasionally treat yourself to a day of exploring used bookstores, greenhouses, libraries, cafés, and bakeries, then what’s the point of anything really?

Sometimes, self-care is reading books, eating pastries, and petting cats.

Sex is great but have you ever read Edgar Allan Poe whilst enjoying dark chocolate mousse and a vintage bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon in front of a crackling fire in an ominous Victorian mansion under a full moon with the sound of owls in the distance on a cool October night?

I don’t necessarily have scientific data to support this, but it’s an undeniable fact that grilled cheese tastes at least 36% better when cut diagonally.

At the end of the day, don't we all just want to read Edgar Allan Poe in a dimly-lit café on a cobblestone side street in Prague during a raging thunderstorm whilst enjoying cappuccinos and croissants?

If you don’t want to read Dracula together by candlelight whilst sharing dark chocolate cheesecake and a vintage Cabernet Sauvignon in an ominous Victorian mansion during a full moon on a cool October night as wolves howl in the distance, then please don’t tell me you’re “open to trying new things."

I don't know who needs to hear this, but if all you accomplish this weekend is reading a riveting novel cover-to-cover whilst drinking multiple cups of tea and consuming a scandalous amount of scones, you will have accomplished more than enough.

All I want is a cottage in the forest, a vintage copy of Lord of the Rings, a pouring rain, a crackling fire, a whistling kettle on the stove, an emotional support owl, and a basket of freshly-baked cinnamon rolls.
