of
A Tangle of Spells (A Pinch of Magic, #3):
"Thank you to Netgalley, the publishers and the author for this advanced reader copy ebook.
So, I read the first book in this series purely based its cover – I saw it in the window of Waterstones and just had to have it. And I was blown away by how mu" Read more of this review » |

“Fabian had succeeded. She caught his eye and the two of them shared a look; it was the kind of look children wear when they know they've gotten away with something. At the same moment, Warwick and Florence also shared a look. Theirs was the kind of look adults wear when they know that somehow they have been well and truly hoodwinked, but are clueless as to the how and why, and know only that there's absolutely nothing they can do about it.”

“Never did she find anything so difficult as to keep herself from losing her temper when she was suddenly disturbed while absorbed in a book. People who are fond of books know the feeling of irritation which sweeps over them at such a moment. The temptation to be unreasonable and snappish is one not easy to manage.”

“There are certain people in whom you can detect the seeds of madness - seeds that have remained dormant only because the people in question have lived relatively comfortable, middle class lives. They function perfectly well in the world, but you can imagine, given a nasty parent, or a prolonged bout of unemployment, how their potential for craziness might have been realized.”

“There was no point dreaming; the leaflet was nothing more than a glass slipper handed to the ugly sister. I would never fit in there even if they'd let me go, which was a fairy tale in itself.”

Hey michelle!A book you should totally check out is by author Patti Roberts. Her book is called Paradox the Angels are here. If you haven't read it, I would recommend it.
And if you have not read Angefall by Susan Ee, that is a must. I think you will find both to be totally awesome!!
Just stopping by to give book recommendations! <3
Hope all is well Michelle! You've earned a fan for life! stay spunky and true and keep on writing girl!

Finally, RE Ms Heller:No excellent soul is exempt from a mixture of madness. (Aristotle)
Some people never go crazy. What truly horrible lives they must live. (Charles Bukowski)
In a dark time, the mind begins to see. (Theodore Roethke)
The mad see dung as dung and angels as angels. The sane see dung as angels and angels as dung. (Henry Miller)
:)
RE Zoe Heller:The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars...
Jack Kerouac
As Mirabeau said, “Good sense is the absence of every strong passion, and only men of strong passions can be great.” Good sense travels on the well-worn paths; genius, never. And that is why the crowd, not altogether without reason, is so ready to treat great men as lunatics, while the lettered crowd cry out when as I have attempted to do here - this general opinion is attached to a theory… It must be added that moral insanity and epilepsy which are so often found in association with genius are among the forms of mental alienation which are most difficult to verify, so that they are often denied even during life, although quite evident to the alienist.Just as giants pay a heavy ransom for their stature in sterility and relative muscular and mental weakness, so the giants of thought expiate their intellectual force in degeneration and psychoses. It is thus that the signs of Degeneration are found more frequently in men of genius than even in the insane.
Cesare Lombroso
