hi Elizabeth

I've done the ones for the Vanishing Throne & The Fallen Kingdom, but I was wondering if you could number the ones for The Wolf & the Crown of Blood & leave a space break after every 5th one? It will be easier for me to keep track then. :)

Yes, it looks okay! Thank you so much, really appreciated!


Carol, She's so Novel ꧁꧂  | 3076 comments I'm back & working on the second group of quotes.

The quote that starts with Sometimes the pain of having someone for a few hours is better than the agony of not having them at all. [...] Desire doesn't give a fuck about should has [...] indicating some of the quote has been omitted. I'm not a fan of this, as I have worked on some quotes where it has changed the meaning or essence of the quote.

Would you like me to add the missing words? (the quote has 0 likes)


Carol, She's so Novel ꧁꧂  | 3076 comments Second group of quotes done.

Carol, She's so Novel ꧁꧂  | 3076 comments In the third group of quotes - the first two have the same issue? Would you like them changed?

& third group hopefully all done. just let me know if I missed one.

I had a quick look at your other quotes - & this is an extract not a quote. On Goodreads quotes have to be 200 words or less. How would you like me to abridge it?
