“I’m stupid and I’m happy and I’m soup”

Never have I felt more represented by words in a book

“nature is the very best example of integration. Things grow differently when they’re damaged, showing us how to occupy strange new ground”

“I didn’t have long, but I did have enough time to return to the kitchen with Tina”

This book is hurting me

“Impossible grief is grief that does not adhere to a social contract of justice or human rituals that have existed since the dawn of time. A death with no body, a violation by someone who is not seen as a transgressor”

sometimes
I need to be with myself alone
all the better to be with you
more intimately.

"If the Moomins met Robinson Crusoe,
perhaps they could help him to see
that not every threat to your world picture
is an enemy."

why is there so much death in this book??

“Have you ever considered that something that’s trivial to you could mean so much more to someone else? You don’t get to take the easy road out and just respect the parts of people that you recognised”

I love that

Every book has a spelling mistake and this one is no exception

Why though? What was so wrong about that?

I blame the film Set It Up for my knowledge that DEFCON 5 means everything is okay because it means I can’t enjoy things anymore

But why?

It says I don’t need to read The Fine Print before this one but I am so confused about their relationship dynamic

“The movie is definitely better than the book- but I’ve never actually read the book”

How can she possibly pass judgement then? What is she talking about?

I am not enjoying this book but for some reason I want to keep on reading

all I want to do is cry

I’m at WORK! HOW AM I MEANT TO TALK TO PEOPLE WHEN THIS HAS JUST HAPPENED?!

What an awful section

Just remembered how devastating Kathleen Glasgow books are

For a section about Sylvia Beach I learnt a lot about James Joyce

If Celaena and Dorian end up working together to take down the monarchy that would be incredible. Power couple for sure

“The dog kept waiting”

Why would you break my heart like that??

Can't wait to read a romance book where the main guy isn't huge and the woman isn't tiny

This man is sick for giving her Lolita to read

Snog is such a horrible word and I’ve had to read it so many times

Eleanor is kind of mean (which I assume is due to the house but yikes)

I can’t believe she just compared her situation to lesbianism
