alibi

make me choose: @grishae asked adam or gansey?

“He strode over to the ruined church. This, Blue had discovered, was how Gansey got places - striding. Walking was for ordinary people.” 

romanticize: rə(ʊ)ˈmantɪsʌɪz / verb

1. deal with or describe in an idealized or unrealistic fashion; make (something) seem better or more appealing than it really is.

2. “the tendency to romanticize non-industrial societies”

it beings softly with sounds from a simpler age, opera and cold marble stone floors. slowly we swim in familiar water. yet we still look up at the sky above us and romanticize with the stars that are far older than the seas embracing us.                         - a mix of studying, reading & breathing

Soul eater trilogy by Eliza Crewe:  ok so the mc is very unique, she is malicious, she is not a good person (let’s say an anti-heroine?), I mean she does kill people and then eats their souls. Apart from that she is one of the most hilarious protagonists you will ever read about, seriously you won’t stop laughing. Also: the most important relationship in this books is not a romance!!!! (yes you heard well) is between her and her best friend, who is disabled. The worlbuilding might not sound very original, but the books are very feminist (wich is really satisfying) and don’t follow any usual cliches. (more about it here)

The queen’s thief series by Megan Turner: The story follows Gen, who is a thief, he is also a poc. I can’t go into details without giving spoilers, the best is going into this book without knowing too much about it. It’s perfect for those who like plot twists and unreliable narrators. The mythology in these books is amazing (it kind of has a greek/roman inspiration), some tales are even narrated in the books. The first book is kind of introductory and it might seem slow at first, but the next ones are amazing.

Uprooted by Naomi Novik: This is a standalone book. Perfect if you like fantasy, magic and fairytales. The world building is geat and it has some polish/russian inspiration.

The lumatere chonicles by Melina Marchetta: If you like fantasy you should definitley check out this trilogy. I mean: Amazing female characters who take no shit, Creative world building, beautiful writing, realistic and well rounded characters and relationships. The author does an exelent job transmiting emotions to the reader, I seriously cried at some points, but I also laughed. This is one of those storys that stay with you. I’ts also really diverse, it has poc and lgbt characters.
