When you are growing up, there are two institutional places that affect you most powerfully: the church, which belongs to God, and the public library, which belongs to you. The public library is a great equalizer.
Keith Richards, as quoted in “Rolling Stone Gathers Library Fines” (via schoollibraryjournal)

CONNOR TEMPLE FAN CHALLENGE - Day 11↳ best Connor accomplishment: the anomaly locking mechanism

without Connor’s invention the ARC team, no matter how hard they worked, could not hope to contain every incursion. the world would have ended five times over throughout the series if they hadn’t been able to keep anything else from coming through to our time. Connor effectively seals a rift in time and space. Even the Doctor cant do that without nearly losing a companion.

There may be two other winners as well, though, for the two books that are leftover, but I haven’t decided yet. So, there will definitely be 3 winners, but there could end up being 5 winners!

fangirl challenge / 3/10 male characters = malcolm reynolds (Firefly)

You know what the first rule of flying is? …Love. You can learn all the math in the ‘Verse, but you take a boat in the air that you don’t love, she’ll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps her in the air when she ought to fall down, tells you she’s hurtin’ ‘fore she keens. Makes her a home.
