“We shall not cease from exploration / And the end of all our exploring / Will be to arrive where we started / And know the place for the first time.” —T.S. Eliot
And so, as a year has passed, I’ve come full circle. Not a real circle. More like a freaky circle. I’m with family. I’m reading a good book. In a month I’ll start my third year of university. Nothing and everything changes. Cheers to everyone wherever you are. The Perseids this year are too dim to see because of the full moon, but they’re still there. We’re still here. We are not alone.
“When I was fifteen, all I wanted was to go off to some other world, a place beyond anybody’s reach. A place beyond the flow of time.’
- But there’s no place like that in this world.
- Exactly. Which is why I’m living here, in this world where things are continually damaged, where the heart is fickle, where time flows past without a break.” —Haruki Murakami

Some moments that really stuck with me while reading ADSOM

Lila Bard and Kell (Shades of Magic Series by V.E. Schwab)
Whether her hands were filled with knives or fire, her voice low and coaxing or lined with steel, she seemed to hold the world in her hands.
Maybe she did.
After all, she’d already taken two Londons as her own.

Just finished reading the first “A Darker Shade of Magic” book, I’m really excited for the next one; but in the mean time I need to read the second Caraval book.
READ IN 2017 → Shades of Magic by V. E. Schwab
“I’m not going to die,” she said. “Not till I’ve seen it.” “Seen what?” Her smile widened. “Everything.”
Books are by @veschwab. ❤️📖
every single character in the shades of magic trilogy is bisexual and I will hear no arguments about it
A wry smile cut across Lila’s mouth. “You’re a smuggler.”
“Says the pickpocket,” snapped Kell defensively.

the way i was crying and then laughing when alucard told rhy it would be rude if he died
Adsom characters as John Mulaney quotes
Kell: “My vibe is like, ‘hey you could probably pour soup in my lap and I’ll apologize to you'."
Rhy: "I quit drinking cause I used to drink too much then I would black out and I would 'ruin parties'."
Alucard: "I will pepper in the fact that I am gay."
Lila: "Hey, do you want me to kill that guy for you? Because it sounds like he sucks, and I will totally kill that guy for you.”
Holland: "And I was like, 'Top 3 colleges?' I thought I'd be dead in a trunk with my hand sticking out the tail light by now."
bonus Holland:"[groans] You know, life."
Astrid + Athos Dane: "And without looking up at me, my dad just said, 'You have the moral backbone of a chocolate eclair'."
Master Tieren: "Now, we don't have the time to unpack all that."
Lenos: "I was raised Catholic. I don't know if you can tell that from everything about me."
Rhy + Kell: "My dad loved us. He just didn't care about our general happiness or self-esteem."
