This is an excellent YA adventure with self-discovery and friendship (mentioning the latter especially because it's not obvious from the goodreads blurb that Drae is on this quest with his bestie Jaela who is large and has a bullwhip and is sick of b ...more

They of the West by Dani Finn
"First off, I LOVE the title of this book. Its mixture of queer randomness with sprinkles of western made it a very enticing book to try out without reading the blurb. For some reason, even though the author states the black thing in the cover is a tr" Read more of this review »

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

“Isabeau had never been afraid of the dark, but she was beginning to hate it, with a feeling that was more enmity than fear.”
Mere Rain, In the Dark Heart of Winter

“I am for an art that imitates the human, that is comic, if necessary, or violent, or whatever is necessary. I am for an art that takes its form from the lines of life itself, that twists and extends and accumulates and spits and drips, and is heavy and coarse and blunt and sweet and stupid as life itself.”
Claes Oldenburg

“Words save our lives, sometimes.”
Neil Gaiman, The Ocean at the End of the Lane

“Love is strange and calls us to stranger things.”
Luke Hankins

“You cannot settle and be happy.”
R. Cooper, Dancing Lessons

“If you haven’t facts make up with lyricism.”
Anton Chekhov
