"OK, two things: a) I am loving the way French writes - she's precise, but the descriptions we get of routine and the case itself are still fascinatingly warm and packed with character, and that's making this so enjoyable, and b) just finished the dinner with Cassie, Rob and Sam, and their chemistry is SO GREAT. I LOVE these people. when's the last time I've felt like that about a mystery story?" May 30, 2013 07:06AM

“Once she made him watch Pride and Prejudice and for ages he would re-word Mr Bingley's apology to Jane Bennet, saying, 'I've been an inexplicable fool', for anything from losing his keys to burping out loud. Her reply to anything she wanted to do was Jane Bennet's response to Bingley's marriage proposal, 'A thousand times yes.”
Melina Marchetta, The Piper's Son

“You seem to have a problem with me," he says in typical Griggs fashion.

I can tell he regrets saying it when he is treated to one of Hannah's long cold gazes.

"I think it will be a while before I forgive the trip to Sydney," she says flatly.

"Fair enough. I think it will be a while before I forgive you for what you put her through over the past six weeks."

I watch them both and for the first time it occurs to me that I'm no longer flying solo and that I have no intention of pretending that I am. I have an aunt and I have a Griggs and this is what it's like to have connections with people.

"Do you know what?" I ask both of them. "If you don't build a bridge and get over it, I'll never forgive either of you.”
Melina Marchetta, On the Jellicoe Road

Julia Quinn
“Isn’t it nice,” the older lady said, leaning in so that only Penelope could hear her words, “to discover that we’re not exactly what we thought we were?”

And then she walked away, leaving Penelope wondering if maybe she wasn’t quite what she’d thought she was.

Maybe—just maybe—she was something a little bit more.”
Julia Quinn, Romancing Mister Bridgerton

“You guys know about vampires? … You know, vampires have no reflections in a mirror? There’s this idea that monsters don’t have reflections in a mirror. And what I’ve always thought isn’t that monsters don’t have reflections in a mirror. It’s that if you want to make a human being into a monster, deny them, at the cultural level, any reflection of themselves. And growing up, I felt like a monster in some ways. I didn’t see myself reflected at all. I was like, “Yo, is something wrong with me? That the whole society seems to think that people like me don’t exist?" And part of what inspired me, was this deep desire that before I died, I would make a couple of mirrors. That I would make some mirrors so that kids like me might see themselves reflected back and might not feel so monstrous for it.”

“Do you think people have noticed that I'm around?”
“I notice when you're not. Does that count?”
