Books I’ve read: Turtles All The Way Down by John Green

“….even though I laughed with them, it felt like I was watching the whole thing from somewhere else, like I was watching a movie about my life instead of living it.“

[veralorraine]

Books I’ve read: The Mars Room by Rachel Kushner               

                I don’t plan on living a long life. Or a short life, necessarily, I have no plans at all. The thing is you keep existing whether you have a plan to do so or not, until you don’t exist, and then your plans are meaningless.

READ IN 2019 ⇢ river wild by samantha towle

He lifts his chin, a determined look on his face. “Well, trust is earned, right?” “Yes,” I say cautiously. “So, let me earn it back. Your trust.” What am I supposed to say to that? “Give me one reason why I should.” “Because you’re my best friend, Red,” he says softly, eyes sweeping the floor beneath our feet. “My only friend.”

Books I’ve read: Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard           

Destroyed by the greatness of others, losing the battle for our right to exist because we are not special. We did not evolve like them, with powers and strengths beyond our limited imaginations. We stayed the same, stagnant in our own bodies. The world changed around us and we stayed the same.

read in 2019: my lady jane by chyntia hand, brodi ashton, jodi meadows 

 Armies aren’t very good about carrying libraries with them. I can’t imagine why. We’d fight so much less if everyone would juste sit down and read.

Books I’ve read: One Of Us Is Lying by Karen M. McManus          

     Let’s face it: everyone at Bayview High hated Simon. I was just the only one with enough guts to do something about it.      You’re welcome.

Books I’ve read: King’s Cage (Red Queen #3) by Victoria Aveyard          

      Strange that so many thought themselves gods, or a god’s chosen, he wrote. Blessed by something greater. Elevated to what we are. When all evidence points to the opposite. Our abilities came from corruption, from a scourge that killed most. We were not a god’s chosen, but a god’s cursed

you’ve got that long hair slick back, white t-shirt and I got that good girl faith and a tight little skirt and when we go crashing down, we come back every time ‘cause we never go out of style, we never go out of style.

read in 2019: the wild heir by karina halle

 I have a Viking heart. And with this heart, I can’t be afraid to love you bravely and boldly, Ella. I have fierce love for you, the kind that eats me up inside, the kind that influences everything I do. This fierce love might scare the both of us from time to time but it’s mine and it’s yours.

Sunshine, I finish silently. Just like her name, Summer is sunshine.

read in 2019: a nordic king by karina halle 

I am a king. And I belong to you in ways I never thought possible. More than I belong to my people, more than I belong to the people, I belong to you.

[diangelosnico]

books i read in 2019 → 99 Percent Mine by Sally Thorne

“Please make my sister stay alive. By any means necessary.” “What does she need to stay alive?” “You.”

[anastasiaromnov]

read in 2019 ♡ Starry Eyes by Jen Bennet It’s years in the making, and it’s messy and convoluted, some of it even tragic. But I wouldn’t change the route, because we walked it together, even when we were apart. And the best part about it is that it’s unfinished. Uncertainty isn’t always a bad thing. Sometimes it can even be filled with extraordinary potential.

Books I’ve read in 2018: The Last Equation of Isaac Severy by Nova Jacobs      Can you think of anything more exhilarating than the realization that the future is, in fact, knowable?

read in 2019: it ends with us by colleen hoover 

Life is a funny thing. We only get so many years to live it, so we have to do everything we can to make sure those years are as full as they can be. We shouldn’t waste time on things that might happen someday, or maybe even never.
