27 Jane Austen Memes for Voracious Readers
One of the saddest things about Jane Austen is that she never got to see how important her books would become to the literary world.

Mom grounds 15-year-old daughter for 4 months and bans her from her cheerleading competition after she mocked 16-year-old classmate for having reading problems: ‘You’ll also apologize to Zoey in front of the [youth] group’
