Paper Cuts Scissors
by Holly Black
Sandlin stopped at the landing, gesturing grandly as he called down. “It is my belief that books are living things.”
That sent a shiver up Justin’s spine as he thought of Linda.
“And as living things, they need to be protected.” Sandlin walked the rest of the way up the stairs.
Justin rubbed his arms and bit back what he wanted to say. It was readers that needed to be protected, he thought. Books were something that happened to readers. Readers were the victimsof books.
