BOOK BUDDIES: DON'T TALK TO ME WHILE I'M READING is a celebration of all things bookworm-from the sweet to the snarky, including puns, quotes, and other delights. A playful illustration of an owl in a library represents knowledge is power, with an accompanying bookmark that says, "Owl save your place!" Another spread includes ten of the best first lines in novels-from Pride and Prejudice to "Call me Ishmael"-with an accompanying bookmark "don't judge a book by its cover-it's what's inside that counts." Another illustrates that feeling when:

-you miss your subway stop reading

-you're late because you were finishing a chapter

-you don't know where the day went because you spent all of it reading

with an encouraging bookmark to finish "just one more chapter!"
