And the way we love is no exception, Amal. It is the kind of love you can know only if you have felt the intense hunger that makes your body eat itself at night. The kind you know only after life shields you from falling bombs or bullets passing through your body. It is the love that dives naked toward infinity’s reach. I think it is where God lives.

We all crawled from the pits of dispossession and tried to survive as best we could under Israeli occupation. Our greatest pleasures were moments of normalcy. A crush on a boy. A card game. Telling dirty jokes while we washed our clothes by hand on the roof of the five-story building. Words of encouragement from a teacher... Our bond was Palestine. It was a language we dismantled to construct a home.

How was it that a man could not walk onto his own property, visit the grave of his wife, eat the fruits of forty generations of his ancestors’ toil, without mortal consequence?

Forty generations with their imprinted memories, secrets, and scandals. All carried away by the notion of entitlement of another people, who would settle in the vacancy and proclaim it all — all that was left in the way of architecture, orchards, wells, flowers, and charm — as the heritage of Jewish foreigners arriving from Europe, Russia, the United States, and other corners of the globe.

am i ready for this? probably not

i miss the gallagher girls so here i am reading a spy novel i wouldn't have picked up otherwise!!!

been looking forward to reading this forever!! i'm so excited :DD

time to start prepping for uni :D
(i'm so indecisive on where and what i want to study, and hopefully this book will give me some insight into life as a law student and whether it is the right choice for me!)

starting march with some poetry :D i've heard mostly positive comments about this collection and i'm really excited to begin reading it!

my eyes literally started watering i don't know if it's because the story's really sad or maybe it's just due to my sleep deprivation hahaha

idk what made me pick this 1330-page monstrosity up lol, hope it'll be worth it

i need a break from the discomfort you by caroline kepnes is bringing me ( >︹<)

ALSO PLEASE DISREGARD THE REVIEW I WROTE IN 2017
I THOUGHT I WAS SO CREATIVE BACK THEN BUT IT WAS JUST CRINGE

rereading this for the subtle asian book club! i'm so exciteddd

every single chapter ends on a cliffhanger omg i'm hooked.

my eyes were shaped like bamboo leaves; my brows were like gentle brushstrokes limned by a calligrapher. my cheeks glowed the pale pink of a peony petal.

lol i wish i was half as confident and secure about my appearance as the protagonist 🙈
