This week’s photo prompt is provided by TJ Paris. Thank you TJ!
The day my father had informed me that I was going to be married wasn’t exactly the happiest day of my life. In reality, I had screamed about how unfair everything was just because I happened to be born a girl.
My father had sat me down and spoke to me calmly about how the man did not have any choice when it came to marriage. An arranged marriage was simply a way family gained power and nothing more.
However, when I walked into my new home and was escorted to the library I began to see the bright side.

Well, even in an arranged miserable marriage one can find happiness in books! Great story, Angie!

Arranged marriage doesn’t sound good, but It’s a good sign her new husband has this big library, enjoys reading. At least, she’ll have a place she feels at home and can get a way too. Nice take Angie.

Haha. Yes its’ true. I know when I’m meeting guys or dating, I’m always impressed when the guy says he likes to read books. I honestly, don’t care what kind. That he reads is in his favour 🙂

Aw, just like Disney’s Beauty and the Beast, where Belle falls in love with the Beast’s library, and eventually with him. Nice story.
