Entrancing, yet unsettling read. Margaret Atwood's word choice is exemplary. I'm nearly finished, and will reserve the next in the series.
I haven't seen the series on Hulu or the movie, so I don't have anything to compare it to, nor see where this series is going yet.
So re-reading this!!
"Not long, not long my father said Not long shall you be ours The Raven King knows all too well Which are the fairest flowers.
The priest was all too worldly Though he prayed and rang his bell The Raven King three candles lit The priest said it was well
Her arms were all too feeble Though she claimed to love me so The Raven King stretched out his hand She sighed and let me go
The land is all too shallow It is painted on the sky And trembles like the wind-shook rain When the Raven King goes by
For always and for always I pray remember me Upon the moors, beneath the stars With the King’s wild company.”
Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell, by Susanna Clarke
Don’t underestimate yourself. If you’re determined, nothing will stop you.

I don’t believe in guardian angels. Just people who are there for you and people who aren’t.
More Than This by Patrick Ness (who is an incredibly talented and underappreciated author, go read his books)
At the finale of The Ship Of The Dead there is a flyting, a battle of words and wits between the silver-tongued norse god Loki and the hero Magnus Chase
expectation: the characters insult each other SO HARD that at least one of them will be REALLY DAMAGED
reality: Magnus going on for 10 minutes about how amazing his friends are until Loki dies of boredom

It's all in the genes. I had heard so much about my Grandmamma who I've never met. About how much she loved reading and how head-strong she was. Everyone used to tell me how very much alike her. I'd feel so overwhelmed with that comparison because she's been such a role model for me. My father told me how much she was into books and that she had huge collection which my father has preserved and he'd give it to me when we had the space and when I was ready for it. Yesterday we opened the first among the two trunks and the smell of that a century old books hit me with so much unknown bliss. Running my fingers over those books, I felt I was meeting my Grandmamma. She hadn't gone to school and studied but she had that thirst of knowledge and she collected all this on her own to quench her thirst. It is full of Kannada books. My father welled up a bit as he went through the memory lane and I did too. I took a few books which I felt I could read and I felt I was taking a part of her that I could carry with me. It also had a few books which I've wanted to read and it showed how much our reading taste matched. It's all in the genes. I love you Grandmamma 💕 #miracleswords ___________________________________________ #bookstagrammer #bookstagram #booklover #bookworm #books #bookish #booknerd #bibliophile #bookaddict #booksofinstagram #reading #bookphotography #bookaholic #readersofinstagram #tbr #bookblogger #instabook #booklove #bookshelf #bookcommunity #read #reader #blogger #booksthroughgenerations #bookobsessed #readingslump #writingquotes (at Namma Bengaluru- ನಮ್ಮ ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು) https://www.instagram.com/p/CC0A9-gF9O2/?igshid=m3oyxm13w7oc
