| OK like, for me, this might be around the part in this run of Iron Man where I feel like I'm penalized for not having read any of the Marvel Civil War stuff, because like seriously what. Which I mean... sure, that's on me for not being a totally dedi...more | |

What Renata Didn't Know: this was a book in verse?? I might not have picked it up if I'd known b/c that's not usually my jam, but then it was so fast-paced that I read the whole thing while waiting for my clothes to launder. HUZZAH. Anyway, I... hones...more |

| I didn't mean to read 2 books about teen thieves in a row but then I DID. I really enjoyed this! Kind of like an All Girls Breakfast Club, about 3 high school girls from DIFFERENT CLIQUES (princess, new-to-town good girl, stoner) who all have to go t...more | |

Here is what I know about Nightwing from Tumblr: - likes cereal - cute butt I'm happy to report that both facts are confirmed in this, the first Nightwing book I have ever read! Obviously vol 1 of the new 52 is a good place to start. IDK, it was fun. Th...more |

Hmm, middle books of trilogies are tough. This one had a LOT of exposition to deliver. Still, satisfying, and I'm definitely looking forward to book 3, like, OMG. I wish I had been able to listen to the audiobook, but I was glad I'd listened to the fi...more |

“If there is such a thing as a universal--and I wasn't ready to throw all of mine out the window--it's that there is power in a story. And if someone pays you such a kindness as to make up a tale so you'll enjoy a gingersnap, you go along with that story and enjoy every last bite.”
― Clare Vanderpool, Moon Over Manifest

“The next suitable person you’re in light conversation with, you stop suddenly in the middle of the conversation and look at the person closely and say, “What’s wrong?” You say it in a concerned way. He’ll say, “What do you mean?” You say, “Something’s wrong. I can tell. What is it?” And he’ll look stunned and say, “How did you know?” He doesn’t realize something’s always wrong, with everybody. Often more than one thing. He doesn’t know everybody’s always going around all the time with something wrong and believing they’re exerting great willpower and control to keep other people, for whom they think nothing’s ever wrong, from seeing it.”

“You may be right,' she said, a phrase which here meant 'I’m wrong, but I don’t have the courage to say so.”

“So you’re reluctant, I said to myself. Many, many people are reluctant. It’s like having feet. It’s nothing to brag about.”

“You know your problem, Quentin? You keep expecting people not to be themselves. I mean, I could hate you for being massively unpunctual and for never being interested in anything other than Margo Roth Spiegelman, and for, like, never asking me about how it's going with my girlfriend - but I don't give a shit, man, because you're you. My parents have a shit ton of black Santas, but that's okay. They're them. I'm too obsessed with a reference website to answer my phone sometimes when my friends call, or my girlfriend. That's okay, too. That's me. You like me anyway. And I like you. You're funny, and you're smart, and you may show up late, but you always show up eventually.”
