I was led astray by a clarinet!

“Literate, married to only one person (albeit a sibling), democratically inclined, mentally stable, and authoritatively deloused, my grandparents saw no reason why they would have trouble getting through [ellis island].” Is the funniest statement

“I can’t explain it, any more than each one of us, falling in love can separate the hormonal from the divine”

I took a long break from this one but have found her once again

“I am the enemy of death, It has taken too much from me.”

The way the female characters are written in the comics is absolutely diabolical. Ten year old Sophia just said “scars are sexy” I wanna BARF

Bloody funny - but not funny at all what happens with James

“To look almost pretty, is an acquisition of higher delight to a girl who has been looking plain the first fifteen years of her life, than a beauty from her cradle can ever receive.”

“I know that the night is not the same as the day: that all things are different, that the things of the night cannot be explained in the day, because they do not then exist, and the night can be a dreadful time for lonely people once their loneliness has started.”

The conversation between Palpatine and Dooku before Dooku’s finale battle with Anakin is GOLDEN

“I worried a lot. Will the garden grow, will the rivers flow in the right direction room, will the earth turn as it was taught, as if not, how shall I correct it?
Was I right, was I wrong, will I be forgiven, can I do better?
Will I ever be able to sing, even the sparrows can do it and I am, well, hopeless.
Is my eyesight fading or am I just imagining it, am I going to get rheumatism, lockjaw dementia?”

“I never saw a wild thing / sorry for itself”

I stopped reading this for a bit because it was beginning to hurt but I think it’s calling to me now

The funniest part of this book is that Dunk is HUGE and a great guy but he is Not Good at Fighting / IS wanting of wit

I liked book one more than book two but I am still enjoying this

Obsessed. I love it.

The Targaryens are INSANE

Sometimes a book just finds you at the right time

This book is BONKERS - I am IN IT

This book would be really bad if I wasn’t reading it like a Gilmore girls fanfic

Feeling so icky reading this
