Letter:
1. Mary, Cracking the Shell of the Bookish Egg
Fictional Location: Longbourn, Hertforsdhire, England
Playing for: Boy, Friendship
I don't have a lot of friends who share the love for books as much as I do and I often feel out of place. I may not know who wore it better on the red carpet or who's dating who, but I do know my books and the characters I love (and love to hate), and their story.
Warning: I am so shy and awkward however, just crack that shell and you'll get to see Mary.
