    Jasper Fforde
    “After all, reading is arguably a far more creative and imaginative process than writing; when the reader creates emotion in their head, or the colors of the sky during the setting sun, or the smell of a warm summer's breeze on their face, they should reserve as much praise for themselves as they do for the writer - perhaps more.”

    Chloe Neill
    “I kissed him, let him kiss me, let him clutch my hips, curl his fingers into
    the fabric of my shirt, slide his hands around my waist and splay them
    against my back, pull me infinitesimally closer. He made a sound, a growl or
    purr, some predatory noise that rumbled in his throat, then said my name. And
    this time, it wasn’t a question but a sound of victory, a claim on his prize.”
    ― Chloe Neill, Friday Night Bites

"In my very, very long life, I need you more than I have ever needed anything.”
