Flesh by David Szalay
"
“As long as no one knows about it, it’s like it isn’t really happening. It’s like it exists in the same way that his fantasies exist, as something he’s just imagining.

That’s how it seems to him sometimes.”

"Wow, was that intense! I absolutely loved this book, thankfully picked it up during a school break or else my students wouldn’t have gotten anything graded until I finished it. 🤪 Eadlyn sacrifices so much for her kingdom marrying a stranger from a pa" Read more of this review »

Alliance Bride by Jaye L. Knight
"I had the pleasure of reading this book early, and it is SO GOOD!

This is a kingdom adventure fantasy romance inspired by the Vikings. There's no magic and it isn't exactly historical, although it is very inspired by real history.

C.S. Lewis
“Once a king or queen of Narnia, always a king or queen of Narnia.”
C.S. Lewis, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe

L.M. Montgomery
“Oh yes, I don't deny I married you because I was sorry for you. And then-I found you the best and jolliest and dearest little pal and chum a fellow ever had. Witty-loyal-sweet. You made me believe again in the reality of friendship and love.”
L.M. Montgomery

Gary Chapman
“I am amazed by how many individuals mess up every new day with yesterday.”
Gary Chapman, The Five Love Languages: How to Express Heartfelt Commitment to Your Mate

Jane Austen
“From the very beginning— from the first moment, I may almost say— of my acquaintance with you, your manners, impressing me with the fullest belief of your arrogance, your conceit, and your selfish disdain of the feelings of others, were such as to form the groundwork of disapprobation on which succeeding events have built so immovable a dislike; and I had not known you a month before I felt that you were the last man in the world whom I could ever be prevailed on to marry.”
Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice

“Always tell the truth. It's the easiest thing to remember.”
David Mamet
