"I might've found a whole new genre to read. Story 1/4 had so many twists and turns. It was very satisfying. The crime made sense and so did the order of realisations and clues coming out. Even more than halfway through I was so far off the real ending. Incredible! I hope the other stories are half as engaging." — Oct 22, 2021 05:01PM

Arianne’s Quotes

“floccinaucinihilipilification—the action or habit of estimating something as worthless.”

“My unarticulated logic went like this: if I give my body away, over and over, I can prove to myself that sex is my choice—even though, and this seems significant now, I always let the men choose me. Until I was nineteen years old, it never occurred to me that I could do the choosing. Not you, not you, not you. Yes, okay. You.”

“This is the Mother Inferior,’ Aunt Enaid said to me. ‘How dare you!’ the other woman screamed at her. ‘I’ll have you switched to within an inch of your life for that!’ ‘Switch this,’ Aunt Enaid said, and punched the Mother Superior full in the face.”
― Peter McLean, Priest of Bones
