Eleanor Brown
“She remembered one of her boyfriends asking, offhandedly, how many books she read in a year. "A few hundred," she said.
"How do you have the time?" he asked, gobsmacked.
She narrowed her eyes and considered the array of potential answers in front of her. Because I don't spend hours flipping through cable complaining there's nothing on? Because my entire Sunday is not eaten up with pre-game, in-game, and post-game talking heads? Because I do not spend every night drinking overpriced beer and engaging in dick-swinging contests with the other financirati? Because when I am waiting in line, at the gym, on the train, eating lunch, I am not complaining about the wait/staring into space/admiring myself in reflective surfaces? I am reading!
"I don't know," she said, shrugging.”
Eleanor Brown, The Weird Sisters

Erin Bow
“It's true that when you read YA you rarely have to read about middle-aged men having affairs. Personally I consider that a plus.”
Erin Bow

Katherine Howe
“She was always puzzled that people say that darkness falls. To her it seemed instead to rise, massing under trees an shrubs, pouring out from under furniture, only reaching the sky when the spaces near the ground were full.”
Katherine Howe, The Physick Book of Deliverance Dane

Ruth Frances Long
“Beware a kiss, he told her. Kisses are powerful things. You expose part of your soul.”
Ruth Frances Long, The Treachery of Beautiful Things

Maybe some people are just meant to be in the same story.
“Maybe some people are just meant to be in the same story.”
