I *think* I'm finally ready to start another book after Lord of Shadows. How gorgeous is this cover? #bookstagram #instabook #aurorarama #fantasy #currentlyreading

These are the four pre-loved books I’ve got yesterday @thebookstopph! I can’t get enough of them. They’re lovely, and I can’t wait to read them all. Thank you to those people who donated these books! You make my heart sing. ❤

There is more magic in money than there is money in magic.

For, sooner or later, there comes that special moment, that very special moment, if you can imagine it, when that very man who deemed himself a hero suddenly decides that he will go out, dig up the grave of his friend, and with a rusty knife help himself to a slab of that half-rigid, half-rotten flesh and chew it raw, sir, as he is reflected in his dead mate's glassy, unbelieving eyes. At that moment, this man's will to reach his Farthest North has been fulfilled beyond his wildest dreams and fears. This is how God humbles some of us, sir. Those he loves, he reserves as flesh for others, as he did with his own Son.

Writing Fail

Today is one of those days where I have so many ideas, and my writing playlist is on point (you guys, I made a major breakthrough, turns out all my nineties favs have really been singing about Garrus and Shepard this whole time! Can you even believe it?)... but everything I try to write comes out looking like a dog's breakfast.

So instead I'm making an outline, and then curling up with Aurorarama, which the guy at the indie bookstore assured me is an awesome surreal sci-fi mystery and 'weird in all the best ways'. Has anyone out there read it? Or do you have any other good books to reccomend? I think I need to read something (or perhaps several somethings) that did not originate from the internet.

He uncorked it and, blocking one nostril, inhaled deeply till the fumes hit the back of his skull, and then repeated the operation on the other side. He knew he should stop there ... So, he told himself, just a little one for the road and that'll be all. Then he took two more whiffs, for he was not a man to be dictated to, not even by himself.

While sitting at dinner opposite Hardenberg, Brentford noticed the Persian motto "In Niz Beguzared" carved on one of the plywood beams. “This, too, will pass,” translated Hardenberg.
