I don't know how to live without this novel in my heart. I guess it will have to live there forever. 🎶Oh, to see without my eyes The first time that you kissed me Boundless by the time I cried I built your walls around me🎶 Mystery of Love, Sufjan Stevens #spec #agented

Popping out of my newborn bubble to say I’m open to #queries! Give me that middle of the night reading material that makes me not want to go back to sleep #mswl #amagenting querytracker.net/query/laurenjp…
The shoegazing dreaminess of Claim Your Ghost is quickly making it my most Murakami-esque novel.
