“Hesiod might mean that the god and the Gorgon had sex in an actual damp meadow, or the damp meadow might be a euphemism for Medusa’s vagina ( you will have to insert your own joke about being turned to stone here , as I am far too mature.”
🤣 ahhh I’m so easily entertained…

“ A beautiful woman whom men find all the more alluring because she is essentially mute? I know, I always think the shock will kill me too.”
Nathalie Haynes is on fire 🔥 🔥🔥

“Its title in Greek is Oedipus Tyrannos, and for reasons which defy common sense, it is routinely referred to today as Oedipus Rex, in spite of the fact that no one involved in it is Roman ( the word Rex is the Latin for ‘king’) and it makes any normal person think of dinosaurs, which do not feature.” -😂😂😂I love her witty commentary.

„ as far as I was concerned 1851 was practically yesterday“ 🤣

Worth the hype - can’t wait for this to come out as a novel !

“She needed no less than eight solid hours of thinking about it until she was fairly sick over the whole thing, and then have her stupid brain bring it up in ten years while she was washing dishes at two a.m. Not allowing her this luxury was irritating.”
🤣

“I’m going to make a t-shirt that says I survived another round table summons that should have been an eagle feather,” Liam joked.

LOOL 😂😂

You’re the best mistake I want to make . Over and over again. For the rest of our lives .

Yeah … this is good 😆

love was not inherently good., it could inspire goodness. She didn’t argue that. Poets would tell you that love was electricity in your veins that could light a room. That it was a river in your soul to lift you up and carry you away, or a fire inside the heart to keep you warm. Yet electricity could also fry, rivers could drown, and fires could burn; love could be destructive. Punishingly, fatally destructive.

“A buzzing filled her ears and her peripheral vision seemed to fall away; she could only see Matley, framed by long, hard lines and too much light. There would be no drink or drugs to mask this encounter, those small kindnesses Luton had carelessly offered. Her newest husband would be a thing to endure , not experience.” This book is unexpected and some of the horror does not come from the paranormal.

Trigger warning - dub-con in the context of drug/ alcohol consumption . This scene ends in a fadeaway but leaves behind a very bad feeling . There’s nothing explicit but the author manages to convey everything by “ showing “ rather than telling…

This book doesn’t mess around and starts with straight up horror to introduce us to the main characters XD
Nicely done though !

“”No!” Said Cordelia a bit desperately, wondering how she had been batting her eyelashes, maybe she’d just been blinking, oh god , she was blinking wrong , she knew it, she’d been worrying about it ever since visiting the dressmaker.
🤣😭😆 I love T . kingfisher - writing realistic awkwardness since 2013

“I came because I heard a disturbance in Master Fisher's rooms. (…) and I decided to wait until...well, until you were finished to see if you needed anything. Intimate relations can be very strenuous.” “Oh gods, Archer, no, it's okay, we weren't...” (…)“Oh?” Archer looked confused. “In that case, do you need to see a healer? Are you hurt? It sounded like—” “No, no, I'm fine..”Crying🤣😂
