‘Miss Tilney said, "Mr. Churchill believed no woman could be strong enough to wield such a weapon, but he is in error.”
Jonathan frowned. "It must weigh nearly twenty pounds."
“So does a year-old child, and women handle those often enough." To demonstrate, Miss Tilney took the mace in hand; though it was clearly heavy for her, she was perfectly capable of handling it.’

“I have corresponded with an unmarried man. How unladylike.
How unfortunate for public morals that being unladylike feels so . . . exciting.”

“You don’t treat someone like that. You don’t treat a person like that. And they’re making me do it, making me degrade her like that. We’ll get out of this, won’t dwell on it, won’t ever mention it again. But, back of our minds, it’ll always be there.”

“Go on. One of the best things about a book is that it’s always willing to wait until you return.”

obsessed w Isobelle flirting by brazenly calling Gwen’s alter ego a ‘dreamboat’ in front of people who dont know he is fake while making direct eye contact with Gwen!!!!!

“In that moment, Gwen would’ve wrested a sword from one of the guards and gone after her, if Isobelle’s eyes had demanded it of her.” gay shit!!!!!

I have literally read this book before and know what happens so why am I still bawling at the sadness and the found family 😭

“Viv held her sword in both hands, head bowed.
She’d forsworn her old life, crossing a bridge to a new land, and now knelt in its ruin.
This was the bridge burning away behind her, leaving her in a desolation.
She tossed the blade back into the ash and took the only path that remained.”

cosy reread for book club, yippee 💕

“To paraphrase one of the greatest philosophers of the twentieth century, Winnie-the-Pooh: you don’t know you are making memories, you just know you are having fun.”

alright, here we go again

“I can long for her, and still hate her.
After all, does a moth not hate a flame, when it learns that the very thing that attracts it is the thing that will see it burn?”

“Let me tell you, there is nothing more terrifying than being attacked by the scorned equivalent of a glorified goose.”

I’m sorry, did he just say that the reason his family are ‘obsessive planners’ about christmas plans and airport arrival times is because his grandmother escaped hitler???

“I was a ‘productivity geek’. You know how some people are passionate about bodybuilding, or fashion, or rock climbing, or poetry? Productivity geeks are passionate about crossing items off their to-do lists. So it’s sort of the same, except infinitely sadder.”

I was going to post a quote here but I actually dont think I could in good conscience make any of you read what I am reading - I’m not even 20% through yet but I think I’m gonna have to dnf

I love this funky lil bot so much

theres been quite a lot more horny body ogling than I would expect for a single conversation between enemies in chapter one

“But if you think about it, this one large crime pays the same amount as ten or eleven medium-sized crimes, so we’re actually just… just maximizing profit and minimizing sin.” GIRL NO

“Bad Llama. Level 3.
It’s a llama, but it’s bad.”

gripes about american measurements aside, this already has some really fun and unique recipes! I’ve never seen brownies made with beer before???

you cannot go on about how baking is a science and accurate measurements are important and then measure your butter in only american sticks or tablespoons!!! I will not be measuring 12 tbsp of butter just tell me how many grams it is

“Ben was too proud to admit he was overwhelmed. He would cling to his knitting and his obligations until he passed out from sheer exhaustion.”

the terrifying vampire/succubus only having star trek as a reference for how the world works is Very Funny

“This is a dark Vampire Succbus named Eleonore. She is 5’8” tall with flaming red hair and emerald eyes. Very sexy, comes with her own Knives. Hisses. French.
She is very Angry in nature but at least some threats are Jokes! Good friend, maybe good girlfriend I do not know, will do Anything for you–bite vengeance murder Jenga etc, Eleonore does All”

obsessed w this time travel romance, especially him sneaking her a bag of gold coins (that he earned by using her hints about the future for investments) and telling her if she doesnt keep them then he’ll “start withholding scones”

“Laurie has packed himself back into his box of apathy, as if his mouth hadn’t been inches from Evander’s ear moments before as he whispered, Or worse, you might wake up. He is gasoline poured into Evander’s open mouth of flame, and the worst part is how he likes the taste.”
