get to know me ♡︎ books -> the love hypothesis by ali hazelwood
I'm starting to wonder if this is what being in love is. Being okay with ripping yourself to shreds, so the other person can stay whole.

someone needs to tell those tales. when the battles are fought and won and lost, when the pirates find their treasures and the dragons eat their foes for breakfast with a nice cup of lapsang souchong, someone needs to tell their bits of overlapping narrative. there's magic in that. it's in the listener, and for each and every ear it will be different, and it will affect them in ways they can never predict. from the mundane to the profound. you may tell a tale that takes up residence in someone's soul, becomes their blood and self and purpose. that tale will move them and drive them and who knows what they might do because of it, because of your words. that is your role, your gift. your sister may be able to see the future, but you yourself can shape it, boy. do not forget that... there are many kinds of magic, after all.
happy birthday, @southerland 🤍

@storyseekers event 21: minimalist — iron widow by @xiranjayzhao
“How do you take the fight out of half the population and render them willing slaves? You tell them they're meant to do nothing but serve from the minute they're born. You tell them they're weak. You tell them they're prey. You tell them over and over, until it's the only truth they're capable of living.”

@novelsnet event 03: alternate covers — the invisible life of addie larue
❝ because time is cruel to all, and crueler still to artists. because visions weaken, and voices wither, and talent fades. because happiness is brief, and history is lasting, and in the end, everyone wants to be remembered. ❞

@storyseekers event 04 : time — the raven cycle
— what was surprising was that 6:21 had now happened enough outside of the ley line to arouse their suspicions. something was happening, but he did not know what.

fandom family: adam parrish for @blisslai
“Do you think Gansey’s Latin is that good?” Adam replied tersely. “It was your handwriting on the rock, Ronan, that said they spoke Latin. Shut up.”

@booksociety’s All By Myself Event: The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern
“Secrets have power. And that power diminishes when they are shared, so they are best kept and kept well. Sharing secrets, real secrets, important ones, with even one other person, will change them. Writing them down is worse, because who can tell how many eyes might see them inscribed on paper, no matter how careful you might be with it. So it’s really best to keep your secrets when you have them, for their own good, as well as yours.”
