Violet's silver hair in a nutshell:

How I imagine Sgaeyl was during Vi's threshing.

Sgaeyl: my love I think you need to come check out this cadet. She's ballsy and perfect for you.

Tairn: I wasn't planning on bonding again.

Sgaeyl: no seriously I think you need this rider. Plus my human gets all weird around her and I want to mess with him.

Tairn: Sgaeyl I'm not going to bond a rider just to mess with your moody teenager.

Sgaeyl: OK but Andarna is in danger and this tiny girl is fending her off alone while injured.

Tairn: ....I'm on my way.

I’m not sure about you guys but during threshing I imagine that Ridoc spent hours wandering around trying to find his dragon but Aotrom actually found him within the first 5 minutes and just covertly followed him around for 3 hours thinking it was hilarious then eventually got bored and threw a branch at his head

“I’m just going to re-read fourth wing” is my answer to anything slightly stressful happening in my life and it’s becoming quite problematic😭😂

I don't think I will ever truly get over Liam's death.

[sammmlashhh]

Andarna: In my defence, I was left unsupervised. Tairn: Wasn’t Violet with you? Violet: In my defence, I was also left unsupervised. Tairn: *tired girldad sighs*

Violet in the next book

Me, a librarian, to myself:

“I wonder if I could get a transcript for this audiobook somewhere.”

That’s a book, girl. That’s just called a book.

[sammmlashhh]

I described Graphic Audio to someone, raving about how cool it was.

They said: That would be called a movie.

[sammmlashhh]

Audiobook Pros: I can pronounce names

Audiobook Cons: Please do not ask me to spell said names

[sammmlashhh]

I’d do almost anything to read Throne of Glass for the first time again.

My husband is currently listening to it. I guess getting his reactions to everything is the next best thing.

My dear friends: When a librarian or teacher says "Audiobooks count as reading", we do not literally mean that audiobooks are the same as decoding visual meaning via symbols representing sounds. We mean, among other things:

Audiobooks can expose listeners to new vocabulary and forms of syntax.

Audiobooks can present listeners with long-form fictional narratives with engaging characters, interesting literary devices, and poetic turns of phrase.

Audiobooks can teach listeners new information in a long-form manner that goes into depth or wide breadth on a particular subject or subjects.

Audiobooks can help listeners' verbal comprehension skills.

Audiobooks can do all these things without presenting the same difficulties to blind, low vision, partially sighted, visually impaired, or dyslexic listeners; listeners with ADHD; listeners who experience physical difficulty with holding a book or e-reader; or listeners who are disabled in a host of other ways that a physical book or e-reader might present.

The written word is not specially imbued with magical noble worth above the spoken word, and if you think it is, you may have some ableism and/or racism to deconstruct.

Has anyone been reading quicksilver?? Best thing I’ve read since ACOTAR and I can’t put it down. Just finished heartless hunter too — damn it’s been a minute since I felt transported like in the Maas books

[sammmlashhh]

Just finished Rebel Witch and just started Quicksilver soooo this gives me so much hope because nothing compares to SJM in my eyes!! 🙌🏻
