BOOKS READ IN 2018 → Girls of Paper and Fire by Natasha Ngan

I don’t realize it until I speak it. And it’s different from the times I’ve said it before, or the way I’ve hoped it, as if dreaming something enough could birth it into being. I know it now with a certainty that has fitted into the lost core at the heart of me, as hard and angular as my hope was soft and shimmering. The King will not have me.

BOOKS READ IN 2018: Lovely Tangled Vices by @olivieblake

Once upon a time (this time, in this place, and in a world that looks and feels like yours, but isn’t) there was a town devoid of witches, a not-so-humble thief, and a hunter burdened by his past. There was power and magic, like any good story; a pair of forbidden lovers and a spiteful villain, as there must always be. There’s also a great deal of beauty, and a fair amount of truth—but at the center of it all there were the Locke sisters, and they’re where the story begins.

BOOKS READ IN 2018 → An Enchantment of Ravens by Margaret Rogerson

Isobel, I love you wholly. I love you eternally. I love you so dearly it frightens me. I fear I could not live without you. I could see your face every morning upon waking for a thousand years and still look forward to the next as though it were the first.
