Tegan Anderson is a storyteller from Devon, England, where they grew up believing in fairy tales and wishing they could become one too. They attended Falmouth University to study Photography and were lured into getting a master's degree after spending too much time longing to turn their stories into screenplays. They are the author of BBNYA finalist Paper Forests and BookLife Prize semi-finalist There Will Be Other Summers, and are currently working on novels focusing on neurodivergence and disability acceptance. Tegan spends most of their time surrounded by chow chows and overflowing bookshelves. ...more

There are so many fictional worlds that I'd love to explore, but I probably wouldn't do anything if I arrived there, I'd just observe.


It may sound egotistical, but I'd love to travel to the worlds where my characters live, especially the one in the novel I'm working on now.(less)

Hazelthorn by C.G. Drews | REVIEW

Hazelthorn is C.G. Drews’ return to the horror genre, and it’s a book I’ve been dying to get my hands on ever since I read the final page of Don’t Let the Forest In. This one is an unsettling yet hauntingly beautiful story of murder and botanical body horror, pitched as perfect for fans of Andrew Joseph […]

The problem with books about Taylor is that I have almost two decades of Swift studies under my belt, so many of them feel redundant or wrong. But this one is a nice introduction to people newer to the Taylor Swift Musical Universe, and I do like the ...more
Tegan liked an answer from Rick Riordan:
Rick Riordan
I can only speculate based on the myths about Artemis, but given what I know, I would guess the answer would be yes. There are at least two myths about cis-male followers of Artemis (Orion and Hippolytus). Neither story ended well, but it does indica See Rick’s answer.

Quotes by Tegan Anderson  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“That was the moment when I almost forgot we were losing the narrative that is life.”
Tegan Anderson, Beauty in the Breakdown

“But we’ve made the trade: one awful inescapable thing for that golden moment in time, that moment of honeycomb light and a warm summer day tapering to an eternal evening.”
Tegan Anderson, Paper Forests

“We circle each other, our gazes remaining locked, the white dress fanning out and wrapping around our legs. Neither of us make any attempt to remove it as my free hand drops to her waist, hers on my shoulder. We spin and sway down the aisle in imperfect sync to the beat of the progressing song and eventually I feel my body relax, allowing a small smile to form.”
Tegan Anderson, Beauty in the Breakdown

“Everyone wanted me to feed them that story—darkness to light, weakness to strength, broken to whole. I wanted it, too.”
John Green, Turtles All the Way Down

“Many boys will bring you flowers. But someday you'll meet a boy who will learn your favorite flower, your favorite song, your favorite sweet. And even if he is too poor to give you any of them, it won't matter because he will have taken the time to know you as no one else does. Only that boy earns your heart.”
Leigh Bardugo, Six of Crows

“Bob says hello," He told the stars.
The Argo II sailed into the night.”
Rick Riordan, The House of Hades
tags: end, no, sad

“I can recount our small collection of memories from the time we spent exploring through those trees, running carelessly as if we were children again. I can easily remember the fallen tree serving as a bridge over the stream, the one that we both hung upside down from and felt all of the blood rush to our heads. I would give anything to regain that childlike sense of innocence we shared in our sparse moments of escaping from our problems. Unfortunately, they crept back as soon as the trees were fading into the horizon and the front door shut behind us.”
Tegan Anderson, Beauty in the Breakdown

“It’s times like this when it feels as if everything has gone from zero to a hundred miles per hour in an instance before crashing into a wall and exploding. You jump into a situation head first without knowing what’s going to happen and it ends up awful. You feel as if you will shatter at the slightest touch, about to crumble into dust if another situation becomes too ridiculous, too desperate.”
Tegan Anderson, Beauty in the Breakdown
