no wonder

what a dream to have such a pretty face and an even prettier heart. I'd have wrote a book by now if I weren't so lazy.

I’m not a leader. All I ever wanted was to fight for a lord I believed in. The good lords are dead and the rest are monsters.

Favourite Books ⇨ The Fever by Megan Abbott (there’s something dangerous about the boredom of teenage girls pt.2)

To Deenie, it was one of many intersting things that adults said would kill you: Easter lillies, jellyfish, copperhead snakes with their diamond heads, tails bright as sulfur. Don’t touch, don’t taste, don’t get close. And then, last week. it had been Lise’s idea to go to the lake, to go in the water. She’d stood in it, waving at them, her tights stripped off, her legs withe as the moon.

Deciding what book to read next is like a fucking military operation like do I want fantasy? romance? deep and meaningful? trashy?

Or do I just want to reread a book I’ve read 10 fucking times I just don’t know

On this day in history, the 22nd of August 1358, Isabella of France died at the age of 63.

“Isabella has been poorly served by writers, and was as far removed from her reputation in popular culture as any person possibly could be. She was a million miles both from being evil, manipulative, vengeful, murderous she-wolf and a desperate housewife stuck in a supposedly hateful marriage on the search for true love who allowed herself to become the passive victim of unscrupulous men. The myths and inventions about her have become far better known than the reality, which is a pity, because her life is fascinating and vivid enough without the tawdry melodramatic tales invented and embroidered in later times.” [x]

And she would call the gods to do such terrible things.
