“July 16th: I have been reflecting on Charles's words of yesterday. Am I habitually of an interfering disposition? Was Charles indirectly alluding to my efforts to save him from a disastrous marriage to Jane?

“You don't stop fighting a war just because you're losing battles. You change tactics.” - The Kingdom of Copper . . 🌟QOTD: do you have a memorable moment with a favorite author? . . Hello friends and happy Wednesday! And yayyyy for a couple days off for me!! I have been really lucky to have met a ton of authors and have had some great moments with some but one of my favorites was meeting @sachakrabooks at bookcon in NY one year. She had just released City of Brass the previous year and I absolutely loved it so we were chatting and she asked who my favorite character was. Of course I answered with Dava and I just remember her being super perplexed and stating huh everyone keeps saying that and same with my editor guess I gotta try harder. I was like oh no what have we done…lol I’m still too scared to read book 3 🤣!

“There are four simple ways for the observant to tell Mr. Croup and Mr. Vandemar apart: first, Mr. Vandemar is two and a half heads taller than Mr. Croup; second, Mr. Croup has eyes of a faded china blue, while Mr. Vandemar's eyes are brown; third, while Mr. Vandemar fashioned the rings he wears on his right hand out of the skulls of four ravens, Mr. Croup has no obvious jewelery; fourth, Mr. Croup likes words, while Mr. Vandemar is always hungry. Also, they look nothing at all alike.”― Neil Gaiman, Neverwhere . .

“After a knock in the king’s call of ‘Enter’, servants bring in our supper. It would appear they’ve brought all four courses at once. A bowl of soup is set before me, and the smell of squash and cream wafts upward, making my mouth water. Next to it is placed a tray of fruits, neatly sliced, with a serving bowl of sweet yogurt for dipping. The main course is cured elk, cut in spiced strips and placed on a bed of greens. And finally, a slice of chocolate cake for each of us is positioned in the center of the table, chocolate drizzle steaming along the sides.” - Tricia Levenseller, The Shadows Between Us . . . . . . . . . . #readgushnov21 book with a feast #cuddleupwithnov21 fall aesthetic https://www.instagram.com/p/CWe60NILGM6/?utm_medium=tumblr

“‘Where are you going?’ ‘My God, you’re like the plague.’ ‘A masterfully crafted, powerfully understated, and epic parable of timeless moral resonance? Why, thank you. That’s one of the nicest things anyone’s ever said to me,’ he said. ‘The disease, Noah.
