Literature A - Z [ 26 / 26 ] ⟶ Z for The Zookeeper’s Wife by Diana Ackerman

The idea of safety had shrunk into particles - one snug moment, then the next. Meanwhile, the brain piped fugues of worry and staged mind-theaters full of tragedies and triumphs, because unfortunately, the fear of death does wonders to focus the mind, inspire creativity, and heightens the senses.

Literature A - Z [ 25 / 26 ] ⟶ Y for You Should See Me in a Crown by Leah Johnson

I never needed this race, or a hashtag, or the king to be a queen. I was born royalty. All I had to do was pick up my crown.

Literature A - Z [ 24 / 26 ] ⟶ X for The X-Files by Charles L. Grant

Mulder slowed as he approached the front walk, slipping his left hand into his pocket to wrap around his gun. Front or back? Wait for Scully, or do the stupid thing and go in on his own? He had no realistic alternative.

Armageddon only happens once, you know. They don’t let you go round again until you get it right.

Literature A - Z [ 21 / 26 ] ⟶ U for The Unbound by VE Schwab

Da used to say that lies were easy, but trust was hard. Trust is like faith: it can turn people into believers, but every time it's lost, trust becomes harder and harder to win back.

Literature A - Z [ 23 / 26 ] ⟶ W for Wilder Girls by Rory Power

Usually, it was an accident. A lie I never set out to tell. A trick I never meant to play. I’d open my mouth, and something strange would come out, new and not mine. Like there was someone else inside.

Mister Impossible: eBook Review

Mister Impossible: eBook Review

★★★★ …make way, make way, make way…Mister Impossible, Maggie Stiefvater Holy hell and bless that gods, MISTER IMPOSSIBLE takes the cake for mindfuck of the year. Apologies to my younger readers but the F Bomb was absolutely necessary. There are some books you go into with expectations, and there are some books you go into with hopes, and there are some books you go into completely blind to how…

Literature A - Z [ 22 / 26 ] ⟶ V for Vicious by VE Schwab

But these words people threw around - humans, monsters, heroes, villains - to Victor it was all just a matter of semantics. Someone could call themselves a hero and still walk around killing dozens. Someone else could be labeled a villain for trying to stop them. Plenty of humans were monstrous, and plenty of monsters knew how to play at being human.

Literature A - Z [ 20 / 26 ] ⟶ T for Throne of Glass by Sarah J Maas

“You could rattle the stars," she whispered. "You could do anything, if only you dared. And deep down, you know it, too. That’s what scares you most.“

Literature A - Z [ 19 / 26 ] ⟶ S for Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater

Some days seem to fit together like a stained glass window. A hundred little pieces of different color and mood that, when combined, create a complete picture.

Literature A - Z [ 18 / 26 ] ⟶ R for Red, White & Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston 

Thinking about history makes me wonder how I’ll fit into it one day, I guess. And you too. I kinda wish people still wrote like that. History, huh? Bet we could make some.

@booksource​ event 01: get to know the members — the starless sea

i think the best stories feel like they’re still going, somewhere, out in story space. i remember wondering if this story was an analogy about people who stay in places or relationships or whatever situations longer than they should because they’re afraid of letting go or moving on or the unknown, or how people hold on to things because they miss what the thing was even if that isn’t what that same thing is now.
