Book cover for The Fiancée Farce
“Mmm, that’s nice. I like it when you talk nerdy. Is that something you do often?” Because Gemma could really get behind that. And on top of it. All over it. Unf. A rosy blush bloomed along the crests of Tansy’s cheeks. Damn, that blush was ...more

Diane Setterfield
“People disappear when they die. Their voice, their laughter, the warmth of their breath. Their flesh. Eventually their bones. All living memory of them ceases. This is both dreadful and natural.

Like flies in amber, like corpses frozen in the ice, that which according to the laws of nature should pass away is, by the miracle of ink on paper, preserved. It is a kind of magic.”
Diane Setterfield, The Thirteenth Tale

Gustave Flaubert
“Do not read, as children do, to amuse yourself, or like the ambitious, for the purpose of instruction. No, read in order to live.”
Gustave Flaubert

J.R.R. Tolkien
“All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;

From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.”
J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring

Stephenie Meyer
“He's like a drug for you, Bella.”
Stephenie Meyer, Eclipse

Diana Gabaldon
“For where all love is, the speaking is unnecessary”
Diana Gabaldon, Outlander
