This better be a one day read.

And it’s getting good again?

It’s getting a bit repetitive

I had a gut feeling I wasn’t going to enjoy this book but I still want to give it a fair shot.

This might be the biggest book I’ve ever tackled but god is it good. Time goes by so quickly but everything I’ve read so far is beautiful.

Loving ittttt

okay nothing to quote for now

“Thou shalt not kill.”
She whispered the words but no sound came out.
Behind her, the kettle began to scream. She snatched it up, forgetting that the handle would be hot, then slammed it down again with a little cry of pain. Tear-fully, she washed her hand under the cold tap. It was nothing more than she deserved.”

okay!!! give me drama mamas

“She was not a beautiful woman. She knew it. Her face was too severe, her broad shoulders and dark hair too masculine. There was something of the teacher or perhaps the governess in the way she held herself. People found her too formal.”

she’s just like me for real

ok?

switching POV’s too much, my brain is slowly frying.
