I usually post quotes from Skulduggery Pleasant Series, usually ones I find amusing or perhaps just scenes I like. Lots of SPOILERS read at you own risk or take it as an invitation.
And if you want to feel nostalgic or be reminded of your favourite moments in the series, follow and turn on notifications... to either be spammed with my posts or mysteriously ghosted for days.
Read under the cut if you wish to know more
I’m here to find people who’ve been in this series for years, or to recruit a few more unsuspecting souls into the rabbit hole. It’s an emotional rollercoaster, but I insist on calling it comfort reading . I’ve read the books more times than I’m willing to admit. I’ve laughed, cried, been horrified, mortified, had long discussions with myself, and remained consistently amused and bewildered throughout.

If you have questions about the series, ask away, I’m weirdly obsessed with the lore and will absolutely overexplain things if given a chance. Or I will just simply say, “I don’t know,” and we can be confused together.

“Wow,” she said. “You’re a great help.”
He frowned. “I’m not really.”
“Yeah. That was sarcasm. Don’t you have sarcasm in this reality?” He
didn’t answer and she paled. “Oh my God. You don’t, do you? Oh, you
poor people.”
“I don’t know what that word means.”
“Sarcasm? It’s a kind of joke, where you say one thing and mean
another.”
“I... still don’t fully understand.”
“It’s OK, you don’t have to.” She patted his arm. “It just means that,
right now, I’m the funniest person in the world.”

“Welcome,” Skulduggery said, “to the invisible railroad.”
Valkyrie looked down at the rusted old railway tracks. “Two things,”
she said. “First, it’s not invisible. Second, it’s still not invisible. That’s
two things immediately wrong with something called the invisible
railroad. I could go on.”

“The invisible railroad?”
“I never told you about the invisible railroad?” Skulduggery asked,
walking to the Bentley. “Then you’re in for a treat. So long as you like
trains. And invisible things.”

Valkyrie sighed. “Everything is underground. I’m sick of things being
underground. Sanctuaries are underground, gaols are underground...” She
faltered.
“Wow,” said Skulduggery. “Two things that are underground. That’s a
pretty exhaustive list.”

“We saw a possible future, and if we’re very unlucky, that future will
happen. But you’re not going to destroy the world just because people
have seen you destroy the world. You’re going to destroy it for your own
reasons.”

“Wouldn’t it be simpler if this was all on a computer
somewhere? It’d take up a bit less space, for a start.”
“Computers crash,” said Skulduggery. “Electronic information can be
hacked. Sometimes, hard copy is the way to go.”
“But there’s so much of it,” she whined. “Please tell me that there’s
some sort of cool magical search system where the name we seek will
suddenly appear to us.”
“Yes,” said Skulduggery. “It’s called Alphabetical Order.”

“I’m so excited right now,” Valkyrie said as they neared.
“Stop complaining.”
“Finally, a reason to go into the fabled Mystical Hall of Magical
Cabinets.”
Skulduggery looked at her. “That’s not what it’s called.”
“A chance to sort through millions of files and really do some good
old-fashioned detective work. This is where the job gets glamorous. This
is where I come alive.”
