Emily Wilde's Map to the Otherlands by Heather Fawcett

“Assassins are a monstrous breed. Either they attack when you are at your worst, or they are having a go at you on your birthday. I have never known a more dishonourable profession.”

books i read in 2026: cinder house by freya marske

"i was an odd little girl. my father always told me so. and i'd been looking forward to being an odd young woman, except now i'm a haunting. i'm a ghost and a house and there's no room for anything else. of all the things i lost when i died, perhaps it's silly i mourn that, but i do. i hate that my oddness got chosen for me."

books read in 2026: someone to daydream about - sydney langford

I linger on the fact that he remembered my favorite doughnut flavor. It's such a little thing, a minor detail, but like the Grinch, it triggers my heart to swell three sizes, and I hug the Post-it notes to my chest. Somehow, in a cheesy, rom-com twist I thought only existed in books, the most annoying, gorgeous, sweet boy to grace planet earth has successfully wormed his way into my heart.

The Woman In White by Wilkie Collins

“Our words are giants when they do us an injury, and dwarfs when they do us a service.”
