Different Kinds of Readers.

Sat, 27 Apr 2013 12:08:44 -0500

The Devourer: Each book is a snack for this kind of reader--but it doesn't mean that s/he won't enjoy each book just as much.
The Lover: Books read by this kind of reader are read in hidden, stolen moments at the most unexpected times.
The Slow Dancer: Books are a treat that this kind of reader savors. Slow and steady wins this reader's race, as his/her eyes take in and taste each and every word.
The Addict: Books are a conquest to this kind of reader. S/he will buy more books than s/he can read, but s/he will ALWAYS have something to read.
The Classic: Books of the past are a gift to this reader. Prose in the style of early contemporary authors, or stories written long ago, are favorites for this reader.
The Die-Hard: Genres are a way of life for this reader. S/he finds a niche and sticks to it--veering from what s/he knows for short bursts of time.
The Advocate: This reader is a lover of books. S/he is not just a reader, but an advocate of reading--hoping that the future will contain more readers.
The Juggler: The reader that inexplicably is reading six books at any given moment.

What kind of reader are you? Add on if you wish!

“Polly got into the car, rather scrunched. That was when she realised that a lot of Mr. Lynn’s humbleness was a joke, even if some of it was real. She never found it easy to sort out which was which.”

alicexz: The “get these fucking prints out of my sight”...

The “get these fucking prints out of my sight” giveaway

So, I have an Epson Stylus Photo R3000 printer

I use it for the high-quality 13”x19” Limited Ed. prints in my official shop but recently it has been out to make my head explode by casually putting a random ink splotch on otherwise perfect prints

I am seething with rage!!!!! because it only happens randomly so I don’t know what’s wrong and also I use very expensive paper and ink SO EACH TINY SPLATTER costs me a fuckload

I don’t want to throw out the prints because they look fine otherwise but I also can’t look at them any longer cause THEY ARE FAILURES AND MAKE ME SO ANGRY!!!!

People who follow me on Twitter can attest to my total meltdown and tantrum because of this

They’ve suggested that I sell them as discounted Artist’s Proofs or something but INSTEAD I am going to do a giveaway

Next Saturday, March 16th, I will pick one or two ~~losers~~ winners to receive these prints free of charge. They normally cost $80-$95, and I don’t sell some of these pieces anywhere else, so I figure if anyone wants ‘em and doesn’t mind the imperfections…

The prints are 13”x19” and will be signed and dated and marked “PROOF.” I’ll ship anywhere.

I don’t fucking care how many times you reblog

But try and reblog at least once because the goal is that maybe someone who sees this post is a Printer Whisperer and can tell me why the fuck my printer is being such a douchebag

I don’t fucking care if you’re following me

Get these fuckiNG FAILURES out of my sight!!!!11

Lucy: Aslan, you're bigger.
Aslan: That is because you are older, little one.
Lucy: Not because you are?
Aslan: I am not. But every year you grow, you will find me bigger.
