2023 books a darker shade of magic by v.e. schwab (reread)

Magic was a living thing---that, everyone knew---but to Kell it felt like more, like a friend, like family. It was, after all, a part of him (much more than it was a part of most) and he couldn't help feeling like it knew what he was saying, what he was feeling, not only when he summoned it, but always, in every heartbeat and every breath. He was, after all, Antari.

the funniest part of Vicious is when Eli isn’t giving Victor enough attention so he decides to electrocute himself

[roughly6500bees]

The first of hopefully several in universe memes. I just think they're funny and also that this tag needs more content.

“He could be the monster if it kept others human.”

i recently read the book “this savage song” and boom! i fell in love. im pretty sure i can’t describe how much i love the characters. especially august!! id protect him at allll costs.

as a token of gratitude to the author, i drew august in his natural habitat. i hope you like it as much as i do. 🖤(im halfway through the second book and help i can’t put it down!!)

“sydney didn’t trust stillness. she had come to believe that it was a bad thing. a wrong, unnatural, dead thing.”

"I read somewhere," said Kate, "that people are made of stardust."

He dragged his eyes from the sky. "Really?"

"Maybe that's what you're made of. Just like us."

And despite everything, August smiled.

mov needs more generic lame fandom content

[psychologyofamushroom]

Kate Harker deserved a chance to just ~be~ and August deserved an end without losing so much. They both deserved a better ending

Snippet Sunday

I need to make myself write, so I've decided I'm going to start posting snippets from something I'm working on every Sunday. Enjoy!

-------------------------------

Eli didn’t like chapels. Or maybe religion at all, for some reason. 

Victor couldn’t figure anything else out, though. Eli was still mostly an enigma. 

It got worse when Angie dumped him. She said there were no hard feelings; she just knew the relationship wasn’t going anywhere, and they could still remain good friends. Victor was a little sad, but he understood. He’d never really been able to bring himself to love Angie the way she probably needed to be loved. 

A week later, though, he understood: she was kissing someone in one of the hallways. Victor felt the general upset anyone feels, to see their ex with the obligatory rebound. Then he caught a flash of chestnut brown hair, tousled from Angie’s hand all up in it; caught a glimpse of brown eyes when he turned his head. 

Eli.

There are some people who just deserve to be happy and one of those people is August Flynn.

[trucidotempus]

It was a cruel trick of the universe, thought August, that he only felt human after doing something monstrous.

Used the penguin classics cover generator for some of my favourite books 👀

1.1k celebration. anon asked: holland vosijk or kate harker?

“I spent a long time playing that game,” she said. “Pretending there were other versions of this world, where other versions of me got to live, and be happy, even if I didn’t, and you know what? It’s lonely as hell. Maybe there are other versions, other lives, but this one’s ours. It’s all we’ve got.”

ayyy its them again

[eliiyis]

they’re bonding

[purplepotatobread]

Is it just me who assigns characters to dogs?

Anyways Kaye Harker from Monsters of Verity is a little white chuawa who bites your ankles and makes demon sounds.

And August Flynn is one of those big black labs that is a big sweet heart and gets sad when you accidently step on their foot.
