he glanced down at her. ‘tell me, miss tallant!—just why do you grant me the pleasure of driving you out in my curricle?’

she responded with perfect composure, but with that sparkle in her eye which he had encountered several times before: ‘you must know that it does me a great deal of good socially to be seen in your company, sir!’

he was so much surprised that momentarily he let his hands drop. the grays broke into a canter, and miss tallant kindly advised him to mind his horses. the most notable whip in the country thanked her for her reminder, and steadied his pair.

Ellwood smiled, and a sudden, dry bleakness spread over Gaunt’s heart as he thought of Hercules, and Hector, and all the heroes in myth who found happiness briefly, only for it not to be the end of the story.

Our hearts may be spoken for by those with sweet eyes, little smiles, and so very many needs, but that does not mean that which makes us us is gone. And I hope . . . part of me hopes anyway that in seeing me do this, Marjana knows more is possible. I would not want her to believe that because she was born a girl, she cannot dream.

2023 books - a gathering of shadows by v.e. schwab (reread)

Magic is tangled, so you must be smooth. Magic is wild, so you must be tame. Magic is chaos, so you must be calm. Are you calm, Kell?

“As they sang the hobbit felt the love of beautiful things made by hands and by cunning and by magic moving through him, a fierce and jealous love, the desire of the hearts of dwarves. Then something Tookish woke up inside him, and he wished to go and see the great mountains, and hear the pine-trees and the waterfalls, and wear a sword instead of a walking-stick.” - J.R.R. Tolkien, The Hobbit, "Chapter 1: An Unexpected Party"

[ID: an edit comprised of six posters in muted colors, mainly greens and browns. White text in the center of each image reads "The Hobbit" and underneath "J.R.R. Tolkien."

1: Wooden barrels in a stack / 2: Someone wearing several layered jackets in various tweed fabrics and a red corduroy vest with leather buttons / 3: Mountains with a path in between them / 4: Several shelves holding old-fashioned books, a stack of plates, a scroll, teacups, and various other objects / 5: Mushrooms growing on a tree trunk / 6: A golden eagle it with its wings slightly unfolded sitting on a branch /End ID]

Read in 2023:

When you’re not around, even for a little while, I feel like I have to go find you. I just feel this pull to be near you. I want to know what you’re thinking, and what you’re up to, and how you feel. I want to take you places and show you things. I want to memorize you—to learn you like a song. And that nightgown, and the way you get so cranky when I leave my stuff all over the place, and the way you tie your hair back in that crazy bun. You make me laugh every single day—and nobody makes me laugh. I feel like I’ve been lost all my life until now—and somehow with you I’m just … found.
