Elen’s reading journal – 2025 second quarter
The second quarter of the year brought a mix of surprises! From swoony sapphic romance to slow-burn fantasy and emotionally charged mysteries, here’s a look at what I read these past few months. Grab a cup of coffee, because we’re diving in.
April 2025
As We Fall is a beautifully written book with a richly diverse cast and a fascinating, immersive setting. Anya Wildt’s prose flows effortlessly, and

FLAMEGATE: SOMBRAS INQUIETAS (FLAMEGATE (español) nº 1) (Spanish Edition):
"Hacía mucho tiempo que no daba la oportunidad a un libro enteramente de fantasía y ciencia ficción, por lo que ya iba tocando volver un poco a mis orígenes como lector. Y no he podido tener mejor suerte que elegir esta fantástica historia.

“ "This place is fun, Downtown is fun!" I said, looking at the blurred lights of the lamps on the street. "No wonder you left me for this… I wouldn't be surprised if a ghost came out." I closed my fist, trying to catch the lights. "Now I get it, Dan! You're a ghost!"
"Am I?" he talked to me in an accommodating way, like anyone would do with a friend too drunk to think clearly.
"Yes! There's even two of you now."
"Of course, that would be the only possible reason." We reached the parking lot.
"Say Dan, have you come back to help me with Shallie? But if you're a ghost, can you just call her for me?" I grabbed his arm. "Can you? Can you bring her to me?" Suddenly all the fake happiness I was feeling before left me in a deep, black desperation. Dan's expression changed too, and got darker.
"I'm not a ghost, Drew," he said, calmly, securing the helmet under my chin. "I'm sorry," he added.”

“But sometimes I wonder if blaming it all on fate isn’t only an excuse. Maybe we say, ‘it was destiny,’ because we’re afraid to admit that we gave up.”

“Killing somebody is not so strange here. Whether it is with poison, drugs or a gunshot, every person you meet is a potential murderer or an accomplice. I’m no different. I’ve worked for them for years. I had a goal and threw away any morale to get what I wanted. This world is cruel, Drew. I’d like to believe it's just and fair, and the bad guys are the exception, but it's only a petty lie. People won't be good to you just because you're good to them. And if you want something, you have to be ready to give up something else. You have to be determined. Determined enough to live sacrificing ideals, pity, hope. I understand you cannot accept it. Deep down I’m happy you don't. Because the world you're looking at, despite everything you went through, is still clean. You still believe in justice. You're not like me. My world is dirty. I hate to disappoint you, but the truth is that your Shallie died because of people… like me.”

“I never understood jealousy, and I have no idea how some people find it attractive; denying freedom to the person you are supposed to love doesn’t really make sense, does it?”

“She’s just another cousin. Prepare yourself because you’re going to hear this a lot. Everybody here is somebody’s cousin.”

“ Why does it hurt so much? Even though you're here. Even though we're close like we've never been before. Why are you still suffering so much, when I am here with you? Why can't I fill the hole we have in our hearts? We will never be whole again, will we? Because we didn't know that we were whole only when we were together. We found out now, now that we will never be together again.”

“He was way stronger than me. All I could do, for seven years, was run away from the thought that my sister died. There were times I wished I could forget the both of them. I tried to lock them away somewhere in my mind and live normally, ignoring the fact that half of my heart was gone. I was trying to kill what he was trying to keep alive.”
