Book Quote by Caite Dolan-Leach
““I know that I’m merely forestalling the moment when there will be no more books to read, when I’ll reach the end of the fifth book and will have to wait in agony for the sixth. And then the sixth will be finished, and the seventh, and the bottle will be dry forever. But right now, all I want is my next fix.””
