Ugh, I'm sad about how the audiobook reader is doing the Fool's voice and accent. He's not Dracula, pal.

"This is my first year at Wickwood and she took one look at me and said, 'We're friends now. Keep up.'"

"Since Dove loved to study, and Thomas breathed art, and Andrew craved stories, they all had pledged their hearts to this library."

Yes yes yes yes yes!

"Let your enemies be my enemies. Let your errors be my errors. Let your life be my life. I do not tell lies. If ever you call, House Barca will answer."

"She loves far too easily."
Oh, Volga.

Why is Lysander suddenly acting like a pompous ass? I know he's on the wrong side of the war, but up to now, I still sort of liked him.

Ugh, the hypocritical secret keeping! Please figure it out soon, Violet!

"I have always disapproved of murder."

"He kissed her deeply, ruthlessly employing subtleties to arouse her."

I love Henry's description of what Catherine's stay at Northanger Abbey will be like. His gentle teasing and sense of humor makes me love him most of the Austen heroes.

Gosh, this is good. I wasn't sure I'd be able to sleep after what I read last night!

I'm loving this reread. So funny, and I love Catherine and Henry!

"How could you love such a man? What a worthless waste of your heart."

"...Angel had the smoldering looks, he also had a puppylike earnestness that made you want to cuddle him and help him do things"

Squire: He's my master.
Dragon: Yikes.
Squire: Yeah, a little bit.

Judi Dench; No, I haven't, if it's all the same to you.

"I'm a bloodydamn Helldiver with an army of giant, mildly psychotic women behind me and a fleet of state-of-the-art warships crewed by pissed-off pirates, engineers, techs, and former slaves. And he thinks he knows how to fight me?"

Interviewer Brendan O'Hea (about Mark Antony) He can't win.
Judi Dench: Well, he's a man. Stuff him.
