I don’t know if I’m emotionally ready for another Patti book, but here we go

“There’s no other place like it, Brooklyn. It’s a magic city and it isn’t real. It’s mysterious here in Brooklyn. It’s like—like a dream.”

UGH this book is hysterically funny and awkward and comforting and achingly bittersweet and full of music and heartbreak and wonder and wow that's life isnt it

New York i love you

GODDD just inject Gothic lit right into my veins already

“…he’s more myself than I am. Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same, and Linton’s is as different as a moonbeam from lightning, or frost from fire.”

oh, okay *throws up*

Tbh probably the most vile thing about Count Dracula is that he is a self-centered, entitled aristocrat buying up land in a different country

Arthur Conan Doyle really got halfway into his first novel about a British detective, said “I’m tired of this,” and started writing a religious melodrama set in the American Southwest for absolutely no reason.

Alright

*Spoiler* Wtf can someone PLS tell John Green to stop putting our protagonists thru traumatic car accidents. I can’t handle it anymore

Nbd just crying over the Bonneville Salt Flats at 2:30 in the morning

3 things that make us human, according to John Green:

-our ceaseless yearning
-our habit of wandering
-how we love the feeling of the sun’s light on our skin

“The candle-end had long been flickering in the bent candlestick, dimly lighting up in that poverty stricken room the murderer and the harlot who had met so strangely over the reading of the eternal book.”


what a line 😮‍💨

“I TOTALLYYY didn’t do it, but if I did, this is exactly how I would do it and why”

“— why it’s as if you were dead and alive at one and the same time — you get the best of both worlds! Damn it all, I seem to have been talking my head off…”

Why is drunk Razumikhin my inner monologue

Alternate title: The Man Who Needs Therapy

I love how Fyo uses exclamation points in almost every sentence‼️ bc i do too‼️

Circe really is That Witch

“I remember thinking that I would never be a kid again, not really, which was the first time I can recall feeling that intense longing for the you to whom you can never return. Sarah Dessen once wrote that home is “not a place, but a moment.” Home is a teddy bear, but only a certain teddy bear at a certain time.”

Jesus, John. A little warning next time before the gut punch, please

Oh my gods Madeline Miller’s prose is f🏺cking phenomenal

I take back what I said in the last update. Forget butterflies, this book is giving me heart palpitations

Lydia nOOO

Also I love how Darcy always shows up at the right/wrong time

Also also tell me why I kinda got butterflies when Elizabeth started thinking about him differently??

☕️

Me: Oh i bet Elizabeth is going to see Darcy in London! That might be just a bit awkward

A few chapters later: Darcy unexpectedly shows up while Elizabeth is in Kent instead, PROPOSES to her, they argue, they leave, she goes to his estate, he’s not there, then he surprises her in HIS OWN HOME and plays meet the parents with her aunt and uncle?!?!

Miss Austen you brilliant madwoman

I need to lay down

Marital musical chairs!!!

(Also, take a HIKE, Collins)

Ok wait why is this book actually so funny

“It’s very beautiful over there.” I don’t know where there is, but I believe it’s somewhere, and I hope it’s beautiful.

❤️‍🩹

I know the book will end soon but I’m really not ready for that

“Subverting the patriarchal paradigm” 101: hire a male stripper for a school sponsored event ✏️🗒️

Part two of this book feels like getting repeatedly kicked in the chest

Maybe all we can really do in this life is try to help each other come closer to finding a way out of the maze… even if only for a little while

“…if people were rain, I was drizzle and she was a hurricane.”

This will never not crush me. How do you even come up with a line that tender and poetic, AND make it rhyme? It’s like a hug for my brain. John Green, you are a magnificent creature
