"Before you, Bella, my life was like a moonless night. Very dark, but there were stars -- points of light and reason....And then you shot across my sky like a meteor. Suddenly everything was on fire; there was brilliancy, there was beauty."

"It was bad enough that my best friend was a werewolf. Did he have to be a monster, too?"

palate cleanse with hoa hoa hoa hoa hoaaa

Part 5 done, and with that, I've completed the 2nd book of War and Peace.
I would've never imagined that this book would involve love triangles and family dramas, but I'm loving it. I don't know what to think of Natasha -- her actions are annoying, but then again, she is just a teenager who doesn't know any better.
Also, Pierre js growing on me. He's just a kind, naive soul who wouldn't hurt a fly.

Book 2 part 4 focused mainly on Nikolai and, in ny opinion, his imature nature and selfishness. The Rostov family is slowly collapsing and he's making the worst decisions ever.

"The whole world is divided for me into two parts: one is she, and there is all happiness, hope, light; the other is where she is not, and there is dejection and darkness..."

"Let the dead bury the dead, but while I'm alive, I must live and be happy."

Book 2 part 2 mostly follows Pierre's strange, spiritual journey and his friendship with Andrei (which is unexpected because these two are polar opposites). Pierre is fooled again, this time by his managers, when he tries to help peasants.
No drastic events, moving to part 3.

"We can know only that we know nothing. And that is the highest degree of human wisdom."

Book 2, part 1 done.

Pierre is such a fool, I expect him to lose everything he has.
I love the way Tolstoy portrayed Dolokhov, making us sympathize with someone we thought was a bad character.
I feel like Nikolai is way too spoiled and needs life to hit him hard.

continuing with book 3, leggoooo

"I saw myself sitting in the crotch of this fig tree, starving to death, just because I couldn't make up my mind which of the figs I would choose. I wanted each and every one of them, but choosing one meant losing all the rest, and, as I sat there, unable to decide, the figs began to wrinkle and go black, and, one by one, they plopped to the ground at my feet."

I'll never get over how beautiful this book is

re-reading one of my faves to see how I'll feel about it now

poor, poor alice

so many names to keep track of

"Cool lisptick," he said with a nod. "Red, like a strawberry."
Not blood, like everyone else remarked, but strawberry. Can a guy get more romantic than that?

the bar is in hell y'all

Part 3 focused on the military campaign against Napoleon's army and the lives of Russian aristocratic families. I love how Tolstoy connects the two.
Poor Pierre remains a naive fool, and Andrei remains iconic as always.

This marks my completion of book 1. I'll definitely be taking a pause to catch up on my other books, but I can't wait to start reading book 2.

Part two kicked my butt, but I did enjoy it the moment the battle ocurred and the way it ended.

Also, Andrei Bolkonsky is slay as hell.

Just finished part one and all I can say is that I'm loving it. There are a lot of characters, that's for sure, but the most important ones easily stand out. And I'm living for all the drama within the Russian high society!
Moving to part two...

poor Celia

a snooze fest so far

Why is the taxi driver talking like Yoda lmaooo

POOR TED WHAT THE HELL
