No podía respirar, estaba rígida y pensando que era el momento de mi muerte, escuché una voz que me gritaba tan preocupada y decía: ¡No me hagas esto!

Era una voz muy conocida, al inicio no podía identificarla, pero momentos después lo hice.

Y comencé a llorar por qué sabía que ese no era el momento.

Perdóname mamá. No te haré esto.

There needs to be an occasional pause button on life so I can actually finish some books 😫

If you haven’t read Mervyn Peake’s Gormenghast books, the first thing you should know about them is that they are deeply, unapologetically weird. . Peake’s prose is so dense as to be opaque at times, and whole chapters go by where much is described yet little happens. When I first encountered these books as a teen, I read through the opening chapters in a state of mild perplexity, wondering which of the numerous bizarre individuals I’d just met was the hero. (The answer is: none of them. The titular protagonist of TITUS GROAN does nothing for the vast majority of the book, because he’s a baby.) . And yet I kept reading, because the eccentric, gothic, ramshackle fantasy realm Peake created had swallowed my imagination whole. Plus by then I’d met Steerpike, and though I feared his story wouldn’t end happily, I had to know what happened to him. I devoured TITUS GROAN and its sequel GORMENGHAST back to back in less than 24 hours, and finished with my head spinning. Then I dragged a long-suffering friend out for a three-hour walk while I babbled at her about the story. . Reading Peake taught me two lessons as a writer: one, that a well-drawn setting (like Gormenghast) can be just as fascinating as the characters in it, or more so; and two, what makes characters vivid and compelling is not necessarily that they do the right things, but that (like Steerpike) they do something when everyone around them seems to be doing nothing. We might not like or approve of what they’re up to, but we won’t find it easy to look away. And that’s why I count this series among the #booksthatmademe. . Have you read the Gormenghast books, or seen the BBC adaptations? What did you think? . . #gormenghast #titusgroan #mervynpeake #bookish #readersofig #bookishlove #bookishfeature #bookdragon #bookreader #booklife #readmorebooks #readmore #bookrecommendation #bibliophiles #bookishescape #timetoread #readingbook #readingbooks #bookreading #bookreviews #bookbloggers #bookaddicts #bookaddiction #bookaddicted https://www.instagram.com/p/B_ThpuIAeC3/?igshid=hkiz6dvs0epi

📚❤ "There are stories that make me forget about myself. I cease to exist - I go around the world of this hero who is just dealing with a surprising phase of his life. I dream with him. I suffer with him. I cry and I can't bear with what is happening to him. I know his thoughts and at least, for a moment, I'm afraid of exactly the same things as him. There are stories, whether I like it or not, that become a piece of me. It can't be otherwise." . #Repost from @edytazajac . Są takie historie, które sprawiają, że zapominam o sobie. Przestaję istnieć - zaczynam wędrówkę po świecie bohatera, który właśnie teraz rozpoczyna zaskakujący etap życia. Razem z nim marzę. Razem z nim cierpię, płaczę i nie mogę pogodzić się z tym, co się wydarza. Poznaję jego myśli i przynajmniej przez chwilę boję się dokładnie tych samych rzeczy, co on. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Są takie historie, które, czy tego chcę czy nie, stają się kawałeczkiem mnie. Nie może być przecież inaczej, skoro przez tysiąc stron wciskam się w myśli człowieka z książki . #outlander #outlanderseason4 #outlanderseries #coffeetimes #bookstagram #bookishlove #prettybooks #ilovetoread #timetoread https://www.instagram.com/p/BvxSSnMgIE6/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=178mmtwz02yr7

I was concerned the security lines would be long at the airport, given the #TSA agents haven't been paid in over a month and were planning a demonstration today. No line. Very pleasamt TSA agents. Am empty gate. And 2.5 hours until my flight. . #travelling #timetoknit #timetoread #gottheseatwiththechargerunderit https://www.instagram.com/p/BtEADQwDy5O/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1q2icwlxb6g7l

#timetoread Oggi inizio la prima lettura di gruppo di #aprile Non vedevo l'ora di iniziare questo libro, ambientato nella Londra del 1883. Thaniel Steepleton, giovane, modesto telegrafista al ministero dell'Interno, una sera trova un dono anonimo sul cuscino del suo letto: un orologio d'oro. È proprio l'orologio, strillando, a salvarlo dall'esplosione di un ordigno che devasta un pub. Thaniel si trasforma in investigatore antiterrorismo e rintraccia l'artigiano che ha creato il prodigioso manufatto: si chiama Keita Mori, viene dal Giappone e nel suo laboratorio in una stradina di vecchie case a Knightsbridge prendono vita straordinari esseri meccanici, prodigi luminosi, uccelli di bronzo, un polpo rubacalzini. L'incontro con Mori - e quello con Grace Carrow, brillante studentessa di fisica che cerca di combattere i pregiudizi per diventare scienziata e scoprire la verità sull'etere luminifero - cambierà la vita di Thaniel. Tre personaggi che non sono mai quello che sembrano, un passato - e un futuro - che uniscono in modo singolare l'Inghilterra all'estremo Oriente, una miscela specialissima di storia e magia per un romanzo d'esordio che sfugge alle etichette e chiede al lettore di stare al gioco senza riserve. #stoleggendo📚 #lorologiaiodifiligreestreet #booknerdigan #booknow #bookseries #booksofinstagram #bookdragon #bookgirl #bookmorning #bookme #bookapril #letturediaprile #inlettura📓 #librispeciali #bookcover #copertinelibri #bookdelicious #booklist #booklifestyle #likesforlike https://www.instagram.com/p/BvwAtuVHPv8/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=13g1o7bn6tcho
