of
What Moves the Dead (Sworn Soldier, #1):
"T Kingfisher is a master of an uncanny horror mix that makes the spine tingle. I’ve always been a fan of shrooms horror, so I am so happy to have gotten to read this retelling of Edgar Allen Poe's The House of Usher (interestingly, the only story by "

I have been reading Cassandra Clare books for almost 20 years and I cannot say how much it delighted me to see this one, the first in a new series branching out from her Shadowhunter series. This novel introduces to us the Prince's sword catcher from ...more |

Okay so this book was just gorgeously lyrical and kept me engaged despite some of the slow parts. I loved the gradual forming relationship between woodsman and wolf girl who are set up right from the start to hate one another. But then, Évike isn't e ...more |

I spent a lot of the time reading this novel being very tense. Basically, this is a YA enemies to lovers trope where the protagonist ends up becoming invisible for periods of time for reasons that are never explained or really resolved. There's a hin ...more | |

I added this one ages ago, when I first realised that Robin Talley was going to be writing a lesbian Macbeth YA retelling. I love the Scottish play so so much. I know so many of the lines by heart and some of the stage shows I've seen have been the b ...more | |
“Birthdays were wretched, delicious things when you lived in Beau Rivage. The clock stuck midnight, and presents gave way to magic.
Curses bloomed.
Girls bit into sharp apples instead of birthday cake, chocked on the ruby-and-white slivers, and collapsed into enchanted sleep. Unconscious beneath cobweb canopies, frozen in coffins of glass, they waited for their princes to come. Or they tricked ogres, traded their voices for love, danced until their glass slippers cracked.
A prince would awaken, roused by the promise of true love, and find he had a witch to destroy. A heart to steal. To tear from the rib cage, where it was cushioned by bloody velvet, and deliver it to the queen who demanded the princess's death.
Girls became victims and heroines.
Boys became lovers and murderers.
And sometimes... they became both.”
― Kill Me Softly

“I can't explain the birds to you even if I tried. In the early morning, when the sun's rays peek over the mountain and subtly light up the landscape in a glow that, if audible, would sound like a hum, the birds sing. They sing in a layered symphony, hundreds deep. You really can't believe how beautiful it is. You hear bass notes from across the farm and soprano notes from the tree in front of you all at once, at varying volumes, like a massive choir that stretches across fifty acres of land. I love birds. But not as much as my wife loves them. My wife thinks about them, whereas I only notice them once they call for attention. But she looks for them, builds fountains for them, and saves them after they crash into windows. I've seen her save many birds. She holds them gently in the palm of her hand, and she takes them to one of the fountains she's built especially for them and holds their beaks up to the gentle trickle of water to let them drink, to wake them up from their dazed stupor. No matter how much time it takes, she doesn't leave them until they recover. And they mostly always do.”

“A book is made from a tree. It is an assemblage of flat, flexible parts (still called "leaves") imprinted with dark pigmented squiggles. One glance at it and you hear the voice of another person, perhaps someone dead for thousands of years. Across the millennia, the author is speaking, clearly and silently, inside your head, directly to you. Writing is perhaps the greatest of human inventions, binding together people, citizens of distant epochs, who never knew one another. Books break the shackles of time ― proof that humans can work magic.”

I'm glad! I find it so much fun. And those quotable moments do so much more to remind me of what I read before than my reviews do ;)

I've emulated your status updates with quotations now. I love it, and it makes me really look for fun things to quote. :)

Hee! It is an English book, although the names don't sound it. English fantasy: . Definitely worth a read!
