Janet’s Notes & Highlights

The Four Winds by Kristin Hannah

1 highlight

There was a pain that came with constant disapproval; a sense of having lost something unnamed, unknown. Elsa had survived it by being quiet, by not demanding or seeking attention, by accepting that she was loved, but unliked.

The Prophecy Con (Rogues of the Republic, #2)

by Patrick Weekes
