I’m half tempted to make you about a bazillion silly reaction gifs to use for these :P

HELP ME. HELP ME TO SPEAK THE LANGUAGE OF YOUR PEOPLE.

I wanted to say that S&B helped me a lot. I was bombarded with work and stress, and reading was slipping away from me. Then I picked up S&B. Your book threw me back into that mindset that I had before school became a problem; nothingisbetterthanbooks, noth

See, this is when I wish I spoke gif, because I don’t feel like I can do justice to how wonderful it is to get a message like this.

Thank you for the kind words. I’m thrilled you were able to get lost in Shadow and Bone, and so glad you’re looking forward to Siege and Storm

Dress design sketch inspired by Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo

Just sketching on my tablet when I realized the color scheme was that from cover of Shadow and Bone . Obviously, thoughts of this book have been slipping unconsciously into my mind again… What sorcery is this, Leigh?

I AM IN YOUR HEAD.

Also, that dress is adorable.

eventhepartofyouthatlovedhim:

 While We’re Young (Pegasus Bridge)- So carry the weight of our biggest mistakes/On our shoulders, our shoulders, our shoulders/Something in my heart tonight/Feel it in my soul/I’ll let you see my wilder side/If I can see your bones

Use Somebody (Scala & Kolancy Brothers)- I’ve been roaming around,/I was looking down at all I see painted faces/fill the places I can’t reach/You know that I could use somebody…/you know that I could use somebody…

Rainbow on Fire (Elissa Franceschi)- Do my thoughts deceive me once again?/Or are you loving me like a friend, friend?/After all we’ve been through thus far/Are you now loving me with half of your heart?/Always thought that I was smart/But us girls we give so hard/You and I were a perfect mistake/Please don’t let our secret break/Or I’ll melt like a rainbow on fire and/I’ll burn like a lover pushed too far, pushed so far/You didn’t notice my colours run

Simple Song (Iwan Rheon)- Please don’t ask me why I feel afraid/Take these thoughts and feelings to the grave/Let us laugh and cry it’s all the same/Simple song/Prove me wrong/Sleep tonight/On a bed made of promise/Let your hope be your light/Dream tonight/Let each breath fill the darkness/And your love fills your life

Reverse (Gabrielle Aplin)-  I’ve sat and watched this city crumble/Just as it was being built/The bigger it gets the less it’s thought of/But I’m just scared of losing all that we have left /And the colours of these roads are matching the rainy sky/We’re too blind to see what’s really here/In front of our eyes/I hope someday this will all reverse,/And send us back to the times before/Before we grew up and lost the novelty of,/Clear blue skies and, climbing trees/Can’t you see what our lies have come to be?

Meltdown (Elissa Franceschi)- Well I cannot control anything but me,/And even that is hard to do when I can barely breath/I can’t control anything you feel/and that’s the hardest part to deal with/’Cause for you, I’d do anything /I’d do everything./Oh, for you, I’d do anything,/I’d do everything./I’d melt it all back down/I’d turn the whole thing around,/If we could just melt this down,then I would turn it all around, oh.

To Be Alone With You (Sufjan Stevens)- I’d sell my shoes/I’d give my body to be back again/In the rest of the room/To be alone with you/To be alone with you/To be alone with you/To be alone with you/You gave your body to the lonely/They took your clothes

Skinny Love (Birdy)- Come on skinny love just last the year,/Pour a little salt you were never here,/My my my, my my my, my-my my-my…/Staring at the sink of blood and crushed veneer /I tell my love to wreck it all,/Cut out all the ropes and let me fall,/My my my, my my my, my-my my-my…/Right in the moment this order’s tall.

I Will Follow You Into The Dark (Death Cab for Cutie)- If Heaven and Hell decide/That they both are satisfied/Illuminate the NOs on their vacancy signs/If there’s no one beside you/When your soul embarks/Then I’ll follow you into the dark

That image may be one of my favorites ever inspired by S&B. Can’t wait to check out these songs

Adventure is calling…

Have I mentioned I have a map addiction? Because I do …

I do have a soft spot for cartographers.

hi leigh! i'm reading shadow and bone again and i wanted to ask if Mal already had feelings for Alina at the beginning of the novel aka their military days?

(Can I just say how awesome it is when people tell me they’re rereading?)

Okay, so… don’t be vexed with me, but this is the kind of question I’m not sure I should answer. We see the story from Alina’s POV for a reason, and her doubt and her attempts to puzzle things out are a part of that.

I will say that—regardless of his feelings—there’s no question that Mal takes Alina for granted at the beginning of the story. She’s always been there for him and he assumes she always will be.

Aaaand there will be some bonus content in the paperback that may be of interest :) I’m not sure I’m allowed to announce yet, but hopefully soon!

ardawling:

I’m so excited for Siege and Storm with all these ARC reviews that I can hardly stand it. So I made an Alina/Darkling poster. :D

Ignore Darkling’s sword. I just really wanted to use Noctis’s body, haha.

Ooooh la. This is just awesome. And interesting given some of the things that happen in the trilogy. Mwahahahahaha!
