just realized that ortus gets thrown head-first into the harrow nova au and simply... plays along?? this grown man finds himself in a new costume opposite the reverend daughter, who is now decidedly dressed as a cavalier, and just decides to roll with it?? "yes, harrow, but my father would kill me!" my guy, none of this is real and you know it.

leave it to ortus to be chucked into a strange alternate universe in harrow's mind palace and decide "well, i've always wanted to do improv!!"

#honestly he's kinda real for that tho #i too would love a fun little break from death and the sleeper and caanan house #the locked tomb #the locked tomb spoilers #harrow the ninth #harrow the ninth spoilers #bookish things #tlt

Since we all agree the Harry Potter is NOT it...here's a fun poll! These are just my picks but if you feel that I've neglected one, tell me and I'll make another poll, the winners can face off or something.

Please reblog to break containment!

Pride and Prejudice: It is a truth universally acknowledged , that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.

Northanger Abbey: No one who had ever seen Catherine Morland in her infancy would have supposed her born to be a heroine.

Anne of Green Gables: Mrs. Rachel Lynde lived just where the Avonlea main road dipped down into a little hollow, fringed with alders and ladies' eardrops and traversed by a brook that had its source away back in the woods of the old Cuthbert place; it was reputed to be an intricate, headlong brook in its earlier course through those woods, with dark secrets of pool and cascade; but by the time it reached Lynde's Hollow it was a quiet, well-conducted little stream, for not even a brook could run past Mrs. Rachel Lynde's door without due regard for decency and decorum; it probably was conscious that Mrs. Rachel was sitting at her window, keeping a sharp eye on everything that passed, from brooks and children up, and that if she noticed anything odd or out of place she would never rest until she had ferreted out the whys and wherefores thereof.

The Graveyard Book: There was a hand in the darkness, and it held a knife.

Romeo and Juliet:

"Two households, both alike in dignity

(In fair Verona, where we lay our scene),

From ancient grudge break to new mutiny,

Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean."

Tuck Everlasting: The first week of August hangs at the very top of summer, the top of the live-long year, like the highest seat of a Ferris wheel when it pauses in its turning.

Fahrenheit 451: It was a pleasure to burn.

The Hobbit: In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit. Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole, filled with the ends of worms and an oozy smell, nor yet a dry, bare, sandy hole with nothing in it to sit down on or to eat: it was a hobbit-hole, and that means comfort.

A Christmas Carol: MARLEY WAS DEAD, to begin with.

The Secret Garden: When Mary Lennox was sent to Misselthwaite Manor to live with her uncle everybody said she was the most disagreeable-looking child ever seen.

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Far Out in the uncharted backwaters of the unfashionable end of the Western Spiral arm of the galaxy lies a small unregarded yellow sun.

Percy Jackson/The Lightning Thief: Look, I didn’t want to be a half-blood

am I into academia? if academia is the smell of old books, the calm falling of rain, creating an cozy atmosphere where I can read a book in a little reading nook in the corner of my room then yeah, I'd say I'm into academia.

I am NOT going to let a one star review on goodreads ruin the emotional euphoria I got after finishing one of the best trilogies ever

Me entering the police station: Hello I'd like to report a hate crime

Police officer: and what exactly happened?

Me: I landed a classmate my book and they opened it so forcefully it cracked the spine!

Police officer:......what??

Me: I would rather they have stabbed me in the lungs with a rusty knife, it would have hurt way less

And evidence of the hate crime

Did I weep? Yes and my heart bleed too

#i know you can barely see it from affar but when I tell you the way I screamed #I'm never letting any of these hoes touch my books ever again there's a special place in hell for these guys #book things #bookish things #bookblr #the cruel prince

Poll one has been complete and the winner is The Lightning Thief! The winner of this poll will face off against the previous winner to declare the true winner and best opening line.

And again, if you feel I've forgotten a particularly good quote, feel free to suggest.

Please reblog to break containment 💙📚

The Voyage of the Dawn Treader: There was a boy called Eustace Clarence Stubbs and he almost deserved it.

Rebecca: Last night I dreamt I went to Manderly again.

The Dark Tower: The man in black fled across the desert, and the gunslinger followed.

The Restaurant at the End of the Universe: In the beginning the Universe was created. This had made many people very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move.

A Wrinkle in Time: It was a dark and stormy night.

The Book Thief: Here is a small fact: you are going to die.

The Outsiders: When I stepped out into the bright sunlight from the darkness of the movie house, I had only two things on my mind: Paul Newman and a ride home.

The Princess Bride: This is my favorite book in all the world, though I have never read it.

The Night Circus: The circus arrives without warning. No announcements precede it, no paper notices on downtown posts and billboards, no mentions or advertisements in local newspapers. It is simply there, when yesterday it was not.

Anna Karenina: Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.

The Fellowship of the Ring: When Mr. Bilbo Baggins of Bag End announced that he would shortly be celebrating his eleventyifirst birthday with a party of special magnificence, there was much talk and excitement in Hobbiton.

Frankenstein: You will rejoice to hear that no disaster has accompanied the commencement of an enterprise which you have regarded with such evil forebodings

Idk who else does this, but I make playlists for the books I read 99% of the time... And I'm always SO happy when I find a new song to put there. Like, I think when I'm randomly listening to a song and then it hits me, like "SHIT THIS SONG FITS THAT BOOKS SO MUCH"

Yeah that feels really good

I honestly and strongly believe my mom is sick and tired of hearing me talk about books to her. All she hears me talk about is how awesome the Riordanverse is.

At times I am simply seized by this feral and veracious need to read. It Is not a hand gently clasping my fingers and leading me off on adventures. No, it is a yearning that grasps me in its clutches and keeps me bound to these pages. It is not a whisper of "here, dear child, read a little. rest for now." It is a shout. It is a scream into the void, "I must read otherwise I will surely go mad."
