I’ve been doing a complete re-read of Seanan McGuire’s InCryptid series. One of the main reasons for my re-read is for a giant spreadsheet/timeline I’ve put together. Conveniently, I’m also finishing up my re-read right before book 12 drops on 7 March. One of the random things I’ve started tracking is the chapter quotes. I love them, and it’s always fun to see if there’s a pattern, and who says what, when. So, just for fun, here’s some of the info I’ve gathered about these InCryptid Chapter Quotes:

Chapter quotes almost always match the POV protagonist’s gender for that book.

Exception: Book 10 (Calculated Risks) Chapter 8 has a chapter quote by Jonathan Healy. The POV protagonist for all of B10 is Sarah.

Exception: Book 11 (Spelunking Through Hell)

Chapter quotes are always from someone at minimum one generation up (age-wise).

Exception: Book 11 (Spelunking Through Hell). This is also the first book with a POV protagonist that has given chapter quotes in other books.

Book 7 (Tricks for Free) Chapters 7 and 8 are the first case of back-to-back chapters having quotes from the same character. In this case, Frances Brown.

Book 10 (Calculated Risks) Chapters 12 and 13 are the second case of back-to-back chapters having quotes from the same character. In this case, Jane Harrington-Price.

Book 9 (Imaginary Numbers) is the only book to have POV protagonist swap between two characters, Sarah and Artie. The chapter quotes also swap gender to match the POV.

Book 10 (Calculated Risks) is the first book without an Epilogue.

Book 11 (Spelunking Through Hell) is the first book with a quote from anyone from the Campbell Family Carnival.

Book 11 (Spelunking Through Hell) Chapter 13 and 14 are the first case of one quote responding to another.

S1 [1st short and/or novella with Sam as the only biped appearing - I may need to come up with a better abbreviation, but there are too many A characters to use it for Aeslin!] (The Recitation of the Most Holy and Harrowing Pilgrimage of Mindy and Also Mork) is the first piece from the Aeslin POV and includes an Aeslin quote.

A6 [6th short and/or novella with Antimony as the POV protagonist] (Singing the Comic-Con Blues) is the first to include a chapter quote with Alice listed as Alice Price-Healy. In all other chapter quotes by Alice, she’s listed as Alice Healy.

Alice, Evelyn, and Frances are all usually listed with their maiden names.

Angela, Enid, and Jane are listed with their married names.

While there are many quotes from Mary, likely because she’s the family babysitter, there are no quotes from Rose.

As of the end of Book 11 (Spelunking Through Hell), the chapter quote count is as follows:

Alexander Healy: 14

Alice Healy: 41

Angela Baker: 5

Enid Healy: 42

Evelyn Baker: 35

Frances Brown: 45

Jane Harrington-Price: 21

Jonathan Healy: 15

Juniper Campbell: 3

Kevin Price: 11

Laura Campbell: 3

Martin Baker: 8

Mary Dunlavy: 16

Thomas Price: 18

Aeslin: 1

I'm sorry if you've answered this a million times, but I can't find an answer and I don't want to assume. I just finished rereading the Incryptid books, and both times I read them I was possessed of a strong desire to repost the quotes from the chapter headings, with sources. Are you OK with that, and if so, how would you want it credited (could I credit it in the post the way it is in the book, and credit you in the tags?)

Book quotes are very common, and considered fair use. Posting the epigrams is fine, and yes, your proposed solution is fine.

April Wrap Up

April was a terrible reading month. The bulk of my reading took place during Dewey’s 24 Hour Readathon. I’m not sure what caused this slump but I just couldn’t focus on anything. I did read some really good things and I feel the readathon has helped (hopefully!). In total I read 10 things and I also been making my way through 2 very long audiobooks. Altogether I’ve read 5438 pages, which is the weirdly the most I’ve read all year. Hopefully May will be slightly better in terms of book quantity.

Nunslinger by Star Holborn-I genuinely don’t know how I feel about this book.I liked it.This is the story of a nun travelling through the Old West during the 1800′s, who falls into a life of crime and mayhem whilst still being very devout.It did border fantastical at points - the sheer bad luck of the heroine is unbelievable. I couldn’t quiet get into the main characters head but I liked her. The ending was very ambiguous which annoyed me. After this great adventure, you don’t get the final pay put of the happy/sad ending scene.And I don’t think there will be any further books. 3/5

Eligible (The Austen Project, book 4) by Curtis Sittenfeld-This is a modern adaptation of Pride and Prejudice. I enjoyed this but didn’t love it. There were parts that felt like they had been added to tick off some list. There were parts that were funny and I did like some of the changes to fit the modern setting. However if I had to choose a fave modern adaptation it would be The Lizzy Bennet Diaries. 3/5

Jane Steele by Lynsay Faye- A Gothic retelling of Jane Eyre.Not as dark as I expected it to be but it was a fabulous read an I enjoyed it immensely. The main character was fascinating and the story line has me on the edge of my seat. When I picked it up I was expecting serial killer Jane Eyre and while she does murder its not in the same vein as Ted Bundy for example.Its more Dexter-like.There is always a reason each death.I’d love to go back into this world and I will be picking up more work by the author. 5/5

Saga (Saga, vol.7) by Brian K.Vuaghn*-As ever this story just gets better and crazier with each volume.Counting down till I get my hands on volume 8 in the series. 4/5

The Falconer (The Falconer, book 1) by Elizabeth May*-This was Vaginal Fantasy’s April main pick. It’s a historical paranormal with a small bit of romance.It was good, not the best of our picks, It did remind me a bit of The Dark Days Club (which I love). The main character felt a bit like a standard for the genre.There were some interesting side characters and action bits. The ending did annoy me as it left it on a major cliffhanger.I may pick up the second one. 3/5

Wintersong (Wintersong, book 1) by S. Jae-Jones-Another historical paranormal romance that was ok. Its based on the movie Labyrinth. There’s a Goblin King lording over a city of goblins who falls in love with a mortal girl and there is a heavy influence of music. I couldn’t get a grasp of the main character. She felt very wishy-washy.It felt like there was something missing from the book. I probably won’t pick up the second book. 3/5 Dear Ijeawele, or a Feminist Manifesto in Fifteen Suggestions by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie* -I think I preferred this over We Should All Be Feminists. It felt more fleshed out in terms of ideas and discussions on the subject of raising a feminist child and gender differences in the world. I loved the tone.Its felt like a friend talking to me. 4/5

Paper Girls (Paper Girls, vol.1) by Brian K.Vuaghn*- Another graphic novel from Brian K. Vaughn. This had a very Stranger Things feel to it but with a group of girls trying to survive the weirdest day ever. I’ve already picked up the second volume. 4/5 Magic For Nothing (Incryptid, book 6) by Seanan McGuire*-Big fan of Seanan McGuire’s work.Love her October Daye series and all the other books in the Incryptid series. And this was no different. Its another adventure with one of the Price family, this time in the circus.Fun and a good action series.Love the quotes at the beginning of every chapter. 4/5

Sherlock: A Study in Pink (Sherlock Manga, #1) by Steven Moffat*-A manga adaptation of the first episode of Sherlock. Fun to read and excellent artwork. 3.5/5

Still Reading

The Name of The Wind (The Kingkiller Chronicles, book 1) by Patrick Rothfuss Sherlock Holmes: The Definitive Collection by Arthur Conan Doyle

*books read for Deweys 24 Hour Readathon

Yeah, no. Forgiveness isn't an obligation. It doesn't get to be. You forgive someone when you want to, or when the anger gets too heavy to carry around anymore. No one gets to tell you it's time. Time may never come.

Children aren't pets or projects. They're people. We can tell them who we want them to be, but we can't force anything. No matter how much we may wish we could.

I like gorgons. You shouldn't get into staring contests with 'em if you have a choice, but on the whole, they're good people.

I only ever made one choice that wasn't for the sake of my family, and I'll pay for it until the day I die. Doesn't mean it was the wrong choice. Just means that sometimes the right thing can hurt like hell.

It never does much good to decide 'oh this is who I am, this person right here' and try to hold yourself to it. Everybody changes. You're dead if you stop changing.

People have some pretty wild ideas about what life after death is going to be like. And I'm telling you, a lot of it is like watching paint dry, forever.

Sooner or later, we all say goodbye. Sometimes it's just a matter of timing your exit so it feels natural, and not like a crime against the universe.
