BOOKS READ IN 2017 → The Love Experiment by Ainslie Paton

”He needed to touch her like he needed the cigarettes he was addicted to. ‘I’m already on my knees, Derelie Honeywell.’

[mashamorevna]

“There need never be any rules between us. Let us be greedy together; let us hoard. Let us hit each other with birch branches and lock each other in dungeons; let us drink each other’s blood in the night and betray each other in the sun. Let us lie and lust and take hundreds of lovers; let us dance until snow melts beneath us. Let us steal and eat until we grow fat and roll in the pleasures of life, clutching each other for purchase. Only leave me my death — let me hold this one thing sacred and unmolested and secret — and I will serve you a meal myself, served on a platter of all the world’s bounty. Only do not leave me, swear that you will never leave me, and no empress will stand higher.”

(Catherynne M. Valente, Deathless)

I do not understand “damned.” You are. And because you are, you can walk where you will, into peace, oblivion, or pits of fire, but you will always choose.

One likes to think there’s something in it, that old platitude amor vincit omnia. But if I’ve learned one thing in my short sad life, it is that that particular platitude is a lie. Love doesn’t conquer everything. And whoever thinks it does is a fool.

“Maybe your stay in Hellgate was too short, Matthias. There’s always more to lose.”

“Ca vous a pris pas mal de temps.” It took you long enough. I said the same thing to her once. “How long do we have left?” She finally smiles through the tears. “Forever.”

Happy Birthday Sona @badass-ginny ♡ ♡ ♡

read in 2018 📓 To Kill a Kingdom by Alexandra Christo

“It’s you.”

My eyes shoot upward. The Prince of Midas stares down at us, horrified and awestricken. His l i p s tilt a little to the left.

“Look at you,” he whispers. “My monster, come to find me.”

books read in 2018: addicted to you + ricochet 

Three years later and drowning in lies, we’re suddenly prepared to lose everything for the chance at something real.

2018 Reads: The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas

That’s the problem. We let people say stuff, and they say it so much that it becomes okay to them and normal for us. What’s the point of having a voice if you’re gonna be silent in those moments you shouldn’t be?

[arthms]

Choosing the person that you want to share your life with is one of the most important decisions any of us makes. Ever. Because when it’s wrong, it turns your life to grey. And sometimes, sometimes you don’t even notice until you wake up one morning, and realize years have gone by. We both know about that one, Alex. Your friendship has brought glorious technicolor to my life. It’s been there even in the darkest of times, and I am the luckiest person alive for that gift. I hope I didn’t take it for granted. I think maybe I did, because sometimes you don’t see that the best thing that’s ever happened to you is sitting there, right under your nose. But that’s fine too. It really is. Because I’ve realized that no matter where you are, or what you’re doing, or who you’re with, I will always, honestly, truly, completely, love you.

books read in 2018: uprooted by naomi novik

“No one was enchanted beyond saving in the songs.  The hero always saved them.  There was no ugly moment in a dark cellar where the countess wept and cried out protest while three wizards put the count to death, and then made court politics out of it.”

[sunchosens]
