A Literary Quote from a Book, Author or Reading Proverbs that I LOVE. I named the section like I did because as a passionate reader I like to use representation titles or words that I see in my favorite books.
*Something Borrowed: a literary quote with a beautiful meaning.

I live this as my motto. So please don’t insult my coat

Actually you might say I live it more like; Wear the old coat give money for someone else to stay warm…or buy a book
Education and keeping others fed and warm are way more important to me than new things. (Says the woman going Black Friday shopping in a couple days…yep, I’m complex)
