It is not easy for me, Jem said. His expression had not changed, but his pale hands moved, knotting together. I know I must listen dispassionately to Grace's testimony. Yet when she speaks of what was done to you, my silent heart cries out: this was wrong, it was always wrong. You love as your father loves: wholly, without conditions or hesitancy. To use that as a weapon is blasphemy.

“It was something adults said all the time. “You'll change your mind when you're older. You never know what might happen. You'll feel differently one day.” As if we teenagers knew so little about ourselves that we could wake up one day a completely different person. As if the person we are right now doesn't matter at all.”

- Loveless, Alice Oseman (2020)

“Many boys will bring you flowers. But someday you'll meet a boy who will learn your favorite flower, your favorite song, your favorite sweet. And even if he is too poor to give you any of them, it won't matter because he will have taken the time to know you as no one else does. Only that boy earns your heart.” ― Leigh Bardugo, Six of Crows

I remember reading Squire for the first time amd just loving the change in tone between the Page's Wing in the Palace and the King's Own, and just going "I love this for her." Raoul and Kel as teacher and student and Kel as a welcomed and valued member of the King's Own are some of my favorite dynamics.

If she couldn’t be a creature of grace, then she’d be a battering ram.

Novel #14

All The Bright Places

By Jennifer Niven (⭐⭐⭐⭐)

Favorite lines from the novel:

• “Sometimes I say and do things without thinking, and people don't like that, people like labels. They like putting you in a box. They want you to be who they want you to be.”

• “People are stupid, but the tiniest few might actually mean well.”

• “He taught me that it was okay to get lost, as long as you find your way back.”

• “The thing I realize is, that it's not what you take, it's what you leave.”

• “You are all the colors in one, at full brightness.”

• “We do not remember days, we remember moments.”

• “The great thing about this life of ours is that you can be someone different to everybody.”

• “The problem with people is they forget that most of the time it's the small things that count.”

• “It's my experience that people are a lot more sympathetic if they can see you hurting.”

• “'Lovely' is a lovely word that should be used more often.”

• “You make me lovely, and it’s so lovely to be lovely to the one I love.…”

• “You have been in every way all that anyone could be.… If anybody could have saved me it would have been you.”

• “Sometimes there’s beauty in the tough words—it’s all in how you read them.”

• “I do my best thinking at night when everyone else is sleeping. No interruptions. No noise. I like the feeling of being awake when no one else is.”

• “We are all alone, trapped in these bodies and our own minds, and whatever company we have in this life is only fleeting and superficial.”

• “I learned that there is good in this world, if you look hard enough for it. I learned that not everyone is disappointing, including me, and that a 1,257-foot bump in the ground can feel higher than a bell tower if you’re standing next to the right person.”

• “I know life well enough to know you can’t count on things staying around or standing still, no matter how much you want them to. You can’t stop people from dying. You can’t stop them from going away. You can’t stop yourself from going away either.”

• “I know myself well enough to know that no one else can keep you awake or keep you from sleeping.”

• “What would I have said to him if I'd known I would never see him again?”

• “She is oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, calcium, and phosphorus. The same elements that are inside the rest of us, but I can’t help thinking she’s more than that and she’s got other elements going on that no one’s ever heard of, ones that make her stand apart from everybody else.”

• “People rarely bring flowers to a suicide.”

• “I am on the highest branch.

We are written in paint.

I believe in signs.

The glow of Ultraviolet.

A lake. A prayer. It's so lovely to be lovely in Private."

• “Stars in the sky, stars on the ground. It’s hard to tell where the sky ends and the earth begins. I feel the need to say something grand and poetic, but the only thing I come up with is “It’s lovely.”

• “Sorry wastes time. You have to live your life like you'll never be sorry. It's easier just to do the right thing from the start so there's nothing to apologize for.”

• “Because it's not a lie if it's how you feel.”

• “No more winter at all. Finch, you brought me spring.”

• “There are bright places even in dark times, and if there isn't… you can be that bright place.”

• “You got at least a thousand capacities in you even if you don't think so.”

• “Maybe even the smallest places can mean something.”

• “You saved my life. Why couldn't I save yours?”

• “You know what I like about you, Ultraviolet Remarkey-able? Everything.”

• “And in that moment there’s nothing I fear except losing hold of her hand.”

• “What a terrible feeling to love someone and not be able to help them.”

✨ A Spark of Magic Quote ✨

In honour of introducing Alice a few days ago, I thought it was fitting to share a small quote from her point of view in one of the earliest chapters of A Spark of Magic. The transcript is below the cut!

A Spark of Magic is a YA Urban Fantasy novel, the first in the A Spark of Magic series. It releases on April 29, 2024. You can pre-order it here (Note: it will only be available on Amazon on release day) or join my ARC Team here.

Image Quote

“[Alice] wanted something to bring colour to her life, to bring back her purpose to the surface. Someday, her aunt had said. How many somedays did Alice have before she could feel like herself again?”

Like the rainbow after the rain joy will reveal itself after sorrow

'send me lines of poetry' ask game was a HORRIBLE MISTAKE because sometimes your EVIL FRIENDS will use it as an excuse to TORMENT YOU. watching these asks arrive one by one and trying to figure out how i was going to reply sincerely took literal years off my life. this is my elijah wood wigs interview moment. thanks @ultravioletness

#AND THEN CAPPING IT OFF WITH A POEM FROM MY POETRY BLOG FROM 2019 #not included here because Haven't I Suffered Enough #funniest possible choices i was fully preparing my soul for death #this got me so good because i didn't recognise that they were rupi kaur so i was just like. staring at them #like UH OH. THESE AREN'T GOOD #all of these read like quotes from a ya enemies to lovers novel quoted in a thousand goodreads reviews #vin i'm attacking you like a wild animal #ultravioletness #ask

"Wise girl," he said. "You didn't always think I was wise." "No, I thought you were a pest, but I know better now." He dropped a kiss on top of her head and went out the door, still carrying his tulip.
