OMG. The GWS stands for great white sharks?!?! And they’re on the swim team? It’s a non-magical fanfic of The Covenant. 🤦‍♀️ I’m definitely not the target audience, this is just ridiculous. I generally try to give it 50 pages… but this is definitely a DNF.

I’m…. About ready to relegate this to a DNF. Maybe it’s just my fully developed frontal lobe, but even the statement on the cover irks me. “She is built for a man like me - a savage”. Dude you are 17 or 18, a senior in high school. You are a child, a boy. Not only do you not need someone who’s “made for you” at this age, you’re just a rich brat who is used to getting his own way. 😒

The sands of time cannot be stopped. Years pass whether we will then or not... but we can remember. What has been lost may yet live on in memories. That which you will hear is imperfect and fragmented, yet treasure it, for without you it does not exist.

“...books, the only remedy for countless, undefined afflictions of the soul.”

"People who would normally never have talked to each other were cursing and planning, arguing and preparing."

"It was the right thing to do, of course. Save the pretty girl, take the pretty girl home. Refuse the reward. All right, maybe take the reward."

Once upon a time there lived a king and queen who ruled their kingdom as their forefathers had- but with even less wisdom.

He had almost yielded, but not quite. He had not consented. It is very hard for evil to take hold of the unconsenting soul.

"Let's hope the directions don't tell us to shoot a man in Reno just to watch him die," have I mentioned how much I love this series?!?!

"Tactile hallucinations aren't a good sign of mental health, but sometimes I feel like they're the only things letting me keep body and soul together."

I just squeaked at the reunion between Codi and Loyd.

Summer storms in the desert are violent things, and clean, they leave you feeling like you have cried.

"Do you believe in Magic?" asked Colin.... "That I do, lad. I never knowed it by that name, but what does th' name matter? I warrant they call it a different name i' France an' a different one i' Germany. Th' same thing as set th' seeds swellin' an' th' sun shinin' made thee a well lad an' it's th' Good Thing. "

Our hearts must be completely His before we can start to dream.

When a strong woman recklessly throws away her strength she is worse than a weak woman who has never had any strength to throw away. This book is so dang quotable!

in London, twenty or thirty years ago are old times; in Paris ten years, or five; in Weatherbury three or four score years were included in the mere present, and nothing less than a century set a mark on its face or tone. <<

If an emotion possesed him at all, it ruled him.

But some women only require an emergency to make them fit for one.

Bahahahahaha hahaha I KNEW it! I get super involved with these characters.

After finishing this chapter my sole thought is, "holy SHIT, THAT happened".

Buck-passing rarely comes with handouts.

"That expression makes no sense. Why the hell would I ever be in the mood for puppies ? I could go with sunshine, though. Sunshine is useful. It should really be 'sunshine and shotguns.' Something you'd actually be happy about."

"When Farmer Oak smiled, the corners of his mouth spread till they were within an unimportant distance of his ears, his eyes were reduced to chinks, and diverging wrinkles appeared round them..." I think I'm in love with another fictional character.

Such a great blending of the pagan and early Christians. "Llyearch stated the official rules of a judicial duel. Then Father Griff asked each man to sweat on his silver crucifix..."

I will pay you back. "No hurry," he said, " 'Tis not exactly my money. 'Tis only in my safekeeping to be used by Old Religionists for humanitarian activities. When it comes to saving my neck, and the neck of a friend, I say 'tis humanitarian."
