The Dark Is Descending (Nytefall, #3)

Amanda Stewlow
Amanda Stewlow is on page 70 of 336 of Far from Home: An Alaskan Senator Faces the Extreme Climate of Washington, D.C.
"I've always believed - and I think the founders intended - that the Senate's role in advice and consent for presidential nominees should focus primarily on the qualifications for the office. The president deserves to pick his team. As the Senate became more polarized, and the confirmation votes fell largely on party lines, I more often found myself voting against my party on nominees." Thoughtful, moderate, honest.

Amanda Stewlow is on page 441 of 448 of The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue
"[her eyes] would say that he is a fickle god, and long before he loved her, he hated her, he drove her mad, and with flawless memory, she became a student of his machinations, a scholar of his cruelty. She has had 300 years to study, and she will make a masterpiece of his regret...

And she will finally be free."

Amanda Stewlow is on page 311 of 448 of The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue
"Addie was raised to kneel in the little stone chapel in the center of Villon, spent days folded into Paris pews. She has listened to the bells, and the organ, and the calls to prayer. And yet, despite it all, she has never understood the appeal. How does a ceiling bring you closer to heaven? If God is so large, why build walls to hold him in?"

"...Henry, you're smart, and kind, and infuriating. You hate olives and people who talk during movies. You love milkshakes and people who can laugh until they cry. You think it's a crime to turn ahead to the end of a book. When you're angry you get quiet, and when you're sad you get loud, and you hum when you're happy."

"And?"

"And I haven't heard you hum in years. But I've seen you eat a shit ton of olives."

"I am not some genie, bound to your whim... Nor am I some petty forest spirit, content with granting favors for mortal trinkets. I am stronger than your god and older than your devil. I am the darkness between stars, and the roots beneath the earth. I am promise, and potential, and when it comes to playing games, I divine the rules, I set the pieces, and I choose when to play..."

In a proper, pissed-off Emily tone of voice 😂

Amanda Stewlow
Amanda Stewlow is on page 85 of 292 of The Woman in the Library
"... a story is about leading a reader to meaning. The revelation is theirs, but we show them the way. I suppose the morality of the writer influences whether you can trust what they are showing you."
...

"Especially if you don't know [what they've done]. If you are aware, then you can account for it in your interpretation of the work. Is it a manipulation, a defense? Is it an expression of guilt?"

"Solivagant" means to wander alone or to be a solitary wanderer. It can also be used as an adjective to describe someone who is characterized by wandering alone.

I'm already interested when the authors note explains that she wanted to pit her mother against Dracula, and it wasn't a fair fight ...as we will see. Lol

Amanda Stewlow is 20% done with Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents
It paints a pretty clear picture WHY our black citizens are still struggling to have equality *whole generations post-slavery*, and why we're talking about systemic inequality and structural racism within our nation.

My mother-in-law gave me this as a Christmas gift. It's her favorite book. She said she's read it many times, through various stages of her life, and it's revealed a different facet or message to her each time. I'm looking forward to this read. 🫶

Heard this song today and it absolutely made me think of the struggle Violet is going through to find the truth about current political events, the facts about historical events and people, what's real with her current situation and relationships. It fit so perfectly.

Amanda Stewlow is on page 371 of 848 of The Priory of the Orange Tree (The Roots of Chaos, #1)
"She knew the cadence of wings when she heard it. Thunderous as the footsteps of a giant.

With every WHUMP, the ground quaked. A drumbeat of impending grief."

LOVING this author. Absolutely on pins and needles in anticipation and suspense through the story she writes and the vivid picture she paints. I can FEEL what she's describing. Excellent storyteller.

I'm reading about when Joshua gets to basic training: very interesting to read about him taking his training where my Opa was a drill instructor. Easy to imagine him training boys like Joshua!
