"Here is the boy, drowning." - Patrick Ness, More Than This.

Academics keep writing books about criticism despite the clear fact that things are just good when i like them and bad when I dont

[books-n-quotes]

The world changes too fast. You take your eyes off something that’s always been there, and the next minute it’s just a memory.

Michel Faber, The Book of Strange New Things

[afieldofheather]

Sussex, England. A middle-aged man returns to his childhood home to attend a funeral. Although the house he lived in is long gone, he is drawn to the farm at the end of the road, where, when he was seven, he encountered a most remarkable girl, Lettie Hempstock, and her mother and grandmother. He hasn’t thought of Lettie in decades, and yet as he sits by the pond (a pond that she’d claimed was an ocean) behind the ramshackle old farmhouse, the unremembered past comes flooding back. And it is a past too strange, too frightening, too dangerous to have happened to anyone, let alone a small boy.

Books are adventure. They contain murder and mayhem and passion. They love anyone who opens them.

January Wrap Up

My TBR for this month was:

 - Clockwork Angel by Cassandra Clare (6.5/10)

 - The Princess Diarist by Carrie Fisher (8.5/10)

 - Annihilation by Jeff Vandermeer (5.5/10)

 - Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo (6.5/10)

You can also find my ratings on my goodreads account here.

I also read the first three stories of The Bane Chronicles (what really happened in Peru / the runaway queen / vampires, scones and Edmund Herondale) by Cassandra Clare and I read about half of Siege and Storm by Leigh Bardugo, which I originally put on my TBR for February. I’m reading the shadowhunter books in chronological order based on the events in the books, that’s why I only read some of the stories from the Bane Chronicles. You can find the timeline I use here on the shadowhunters website.

In my best sarcasm, I can’t posssibly imagine who inspired this book.

Some luck dragons I’ve been working on the past couple of days. I love The Neverending Story, even though I still think the movie is creepy as hell.
