I hate when I can tell that a historical novel is written post 2010

“Every night for the rest of my life, I’ll dream of the afternoon in the holloway, when I was waylaid by a dark-haired beauty who devastated me with the heat of a thousand troubled stars, and left my soul in cinders. Even when I’m an old man, and my brain has fallen to wrack and ruin, I’ll remember the sweet fire of your lips under mine, and I’ll say to myself, ‘Now, that was a kiss.’” AWW

local bookstore said if I read ten romance books by the 14th I get chocolate covered strawberries AND a spicy bookmark.

the slowest I’ve ever read 140 pages

“If i had known that one day I would have a story, I would have chosen it, I would have lived with more care to make it beautiful and true so that I would like it. Now it’s too late. This story has begun…Even though I try to push it away, it follows me; everything falls into place, everything decomposes in memory, and nothing new can be invented.”

“For the moment, I am well. All is well. It’s that time, the end of a day. If they leave, it will be the start of something else, of what I don’t know, of a night probably. All is well. But if they go, I don’t know what I’ll become. I’m scared to wait again for the next day, scared to cross on my own this mournful headland that separates each day from the next”

the book was a little slow for me in the beginning but I feel like we’re really getting into the crevices of her mind now. everything she thinks holds so much depth and I can feel her drowning in it

five stars, must read for any recent graduate

no bookmark necessary for this one
