“Anyway, I keep picturing all these little kids playing some game in this big field of rye and all. Thousands of little kids, and nobody's around - nobody big, I mean - except me. And I'm standing on the edge of some crazy cliff. What I have to do, I have to catch everybody if they start to go over the cliff - I mean if they're running and they don't look where they're going I have to come out from somewhere and catch them. That's all I do all day. I'd just be the catcher in the rye and all. I know it's crazy, but that's the only thing I'd really like to be.”

“Big Angel stood in the shadows of the living room, buffeted by stories of the past, things he remembered and things he had learned. Or maybe things he had dreamed. He could no longer tell the difference. The stories flew in like wind through an open window and whirled around him. He could feel them almost pull him off his feet. They seemed to come by their own volition, leaping over years, ignoring the decades. Big Angel found himself in a time storm. He saw it all as if the past were a movie in the Las Pulgas theater.”

“Desde un primer momento, Juanito descubre que no encaja con los demás. En el colegio empiezan a llamarle mariquita y no sabe muy bien qué significa. Esta obra personal cuenta una historia universal: la de los marginados, los diferentes, los acosados.”

“I thought... I just really liked you as a friend... a best friend... because, like, I want to hang out with you all the time and I just love everything about you... but I kept wanting to... I don't know... hug you and hold your hand and then yesterday, when you suggested it, I-I really wanted to kiss you.”

I was always get excited when I see YA books with a gay main character because it gives my inner child the chance to finally see themselves portrayed in a book.

I put a spell on you

And now you're mine

You can't stop the things I do

I ain't lying

It's been three hundred years

Right down to the day

Now the witch is back

And there's hell to pay

I put a spell on you

And now you're mine!

Tag Game

This is ridiculously late because I haven’t had access to my laptop in the past week and was too lazy to type everything out on mobile, but here goes nothing!

A million times thank you to @heretherebebooks for tagging me. Made my day!

Rules: If tagged, answer the original questions and either add to the list or delete some (if you’d like), then tag more people!

Which book are you currently reading?

The Art of Racing in the Rain by Garth Stein and Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison.

What’s the best beverage to drink while reading?

Hot chocolate for happiness purposes, but water for safety purposes (I’m a clutz, what can I say)

What’s your Hogwarts house?

Ravenclaw all the way, baby

Are there any books you would recommend to the rest of us?

Anything by Trish Doller will forever be on my recommendations list... Her books are amazing AND she’s a great person. Win win. Red Rising by Pierce Brown is one of my all-time favorites as well. 

What types of book covers do you find most aesthetically pleasing?

I love all things colorful. I hate books with just a person’s face lol. Basically art is better than people, as with real life.

What is one genre you want to read more of?

Historical fiction, definitely. I boycotted it growing up (because I hated history and figured it would be bad) but have recently started enjoying it. Same goes with nonfiction. 

Do you tend to easily enjoy whatever it is you’re reading or are you a hard sell?

I’m kinda in the middle, I’d say. I used to love pretty much every book I ever read but recently have been harder to please. 

What other kinds of media do you enjoy?

Um, not much tbh. I mean, music, but who doesn’t like music?

I’m tagging @rebelliousbookdragon @theneverendingtbrpile @dragonhoardofbooks @alienreads @xompeii and @newtsbookblog. If you don’t want to or already have, don’t feel obligated to participate ^^
