You enter a vast library, full of bookshelves filled with wonderful books. Large windows let in sunlight, making the room a bright and pleasant reading atmosphere.. Cozy chairs are scattered in little nooks throughout, accompanied by small tables with potted plants, empty notebooks and pens. A few intricate paintings of dragons hang on the walls between the bookshelves. And of course, there are two beautiful resident cats, sweet Seeker lazing in the corner, and sleek Oracle exploring the hidden cranies of the bookcases.

Hanging up on a bulletin board on the wall beside the door are a few sheets of typed paper, stapled together. The header across the top reads Julia's Reading List.

Next to this hang some papers exclaiming Cetacean books! with an arrow pointing to a whole shelf full of the same.

Come in, sit down, help yourself to a few literary delights...Julia's own endeavors in wordsmithing.
