“We died in him as the last Adam; we live in him as the second Man. Th Cross is thus the mighty act of God which translates us from Adam to Christ.”

Yall this book is blowing my mind because I don’t think anyone ever really explained why the Cross and Blood and all of it actually work 🤯

Oh man this is already so much better than the 1st…. get me far away from the spring court please 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

“Our faith in the precious Blood and our refusal to be moved from that position can alone silence Satan’s charges and put him to flight; and so it will be, right on to the end. Oh, what an emancipation it would be if we saw more of the value in God’s eyes of the precious Blood of his dear Son!”

ok I’m 50% and I for the LIFE of me can’t remember what tamlin does but I know we don’t like him … but why is she insufferable and pick me 😭 she gets better too but right now I’m like just shocked he’s being nice to her when Feyre talks like this. Anywho - will keep yall updated xoxo

slow going bc there’s a lot to process and probably so many deeper undercurrents that I’m slowly piecing together. So well written and verrrry interested to see where this goes. Cathy might be one of the most confusing characters ever lol

Alright ladies. I read this back in 2020 during peak BookTok and don’t remember a single thing so decided to audible this while I run. I don’t remember it as fondly as I do TOG but giving it another try because, again, Mia Floriani and friends 🤞

loving it lots but taking it slow because there’s so many names and places to remember lol

devastating and empowering and sentimental and funny all in one

used to say every kid needed to read Wonder growing up and this is the adult equivalent

“So you think it right to be sensitive to the possibility that other children will be insensitive, un-Christian, un-catholic, un-Christian like. But not to be sensitive to a six year old boy whom God created and whom God gave red eyes?”

ohhhh man I love Sam’s mom

yall I love this book
I don’t think I’ve read a book like this before

Loving the pace

Mia convinced me but what’s new

just finished the tv show and cared way more abt Charlie than Sam so I had to start his book immediately after

well this took a devastating turn and I’m getting it all now

I’m not quite sure how to feel abt this

Read like half of this in one sitting on the plane and I’m lovin it

needed a book for a road trip and this was suggested by Annie and Mia + was free on kindle unlimited so here we go

Slowly but surely makin my way thru this

“It is an empty story, a hollow thought.”
“Redemption is none such.”
“Yes, it is. It is old and stale.”
“No! It is new as the morning, fresh as the day.”
“It is a withered thing.”
“It is the chance of every man!”

I cry. I weep. A beautiful allegory all the way through — redemption + hope!

Whatever Mia Floriani reads, I read

loving this

“That being said, any loss is irrevocable. No one steps into the place they once were. But the act of loving someone would not be so beautiful if their place could ever be filled. We need loss, I suppose. Perhaps there is something even holy in it.”

Already so much more intriguing and complex than the first one - excited to see where it goes

On a Beth Brewer kick

“That’s part of maintaining connecting with people. You give yourself a little to what they give themselves to a lot. And they do the same for you.”
