I just wanted to read before I go to sleep. Ans instead I spent all that time going over books trying to pick one. Make it make sense.

"As my lady commands."

Oh it's like that is it 😏

"Dating her and then losing her, might break what's left of my heart."

oh he's a cutie

How is there still more?

“I huff an uncaring laugh. “She can Medusa me, for all I care. At least then I can turn assholes like you to stone with a single glance.””

Terrific response

⚠️SPOILER ⚠️


“There are a thousand reasons we shouldn’t…” he whispers, that rough voice rubbing against my senses. “But I want you, Lyra. I’ve wanted you for a long time…”
He takes a shuddering breath against me, all leashed power and desire... “I want you the way stars burn.”…
“I want you in the way a storm gathers over mountains only to give in to violent release.”…

“I’ve been alone most of my life. I do fine alone.”

Oh are you? Because repeating it over and over again is not going to make either of us believe it

⚠️SPOILER⚠️


“What I don’t tell him is that Hades was the rock I held on to through all of it. Boone’s visit helped ease my guilt, helped give me a goal to work toward and something to live for. But Hades?
He was my peace. He was my strength. He was my haven.
Definitely didn’t see that coming. Though I probably should’ve.”

“I’ve been debating if we should call you Sleeping Beauty or Snow White.”
….
“Hence the debate. Given how pale you are and the raven-black hair, I’m leaning toward Snow White.”
“Hephaestus could be the huntsman.”
Charon laughs at that. “And Aphrodite the evil queen?”

‏ Genius

“You…need…a shave.”
“What did she say?”
I frown and reach up to tickle his chin. “Do…gods…shave?”

😂😂😂

“I have souls down here who were once doctors. ”

Handy

⚠️SPOILER⚠️


“His expression shuts down, turns dark, and the stars in the sky outside might as well be chips of ice dousing me in a chill. “I will never force you into something you don’t want,” he says in a voice that scrapes over my skin. “But make no mistake, Lyra. I want you to be mine. Not a champion. Not a thief. Not a mortal. Mine.” He snarls the word. “And no one else’s.””

“Sometimes,” Hermes murmurs, “bravery isn’t actually bravery. It’s just foolishness wrapped up in a pretty package.”
“Sometimes,” I say, “the gods are just a**—”

“Seems to me that love can calm storms, end wars, make fools of smart people, and bridge the gap between life and death. Doesn’t that make it the most powerful?”

"We're not butterflies to you, we're eternity."

'old fuzzy' 😂

“I felt short of breath as I looked at her whiskey eyes…”

I can’t read this and not associate it with the dark verse

“Max,”, “your glasses are like foreplay.”
“Are you saying you like them?”
“They make me want to ask you for extra credit, Mr. Parks.”

Oh it’s like that is it 😏

‘taste the tonsil’ 😂

“Nova could still stop this. Everything had spun out of control so quickly. This had not been what she’d planned, what she’d wanted.”

Does she even know what she wants? Does not feel like it to me

“We were friends, weren’t we?”
“I know I wasn’t always … a good friend … but I … I liked having you around, back then. When you were little. It was nice to be … a kid … again.” 💔

“My brothers,” she whispered, “are going to be so disappointed.” 😢

“I am no longer a victim!”

😭

I need to reread Chapter 29 when I'm less tired because I got like none of that 😅

*My interpretation of what just happened:*

Adrian:
Please stay
I want you, I need you, oh God
Don't take
These beautiful things that I've got

Nova:
Where's my stuff?

SPOILER

“Just drop it, Nova.” “But, Adrian—” “Drop it.” She pursed her lips together. Adrian lifted his glasses, pinching the bridge of his nose. “I’m not here for your lies and excuses … I’m not even here for a confession. I just…” He dropped his hands to his sides. “I need answers. Please, Nova. If you ever … If any of it was real, then please … just tell me … **********?”

"I was good at conflict avoidance—it was a big part of my job, in fact..."

I knew I was in the wrong profession 🤦‍♀️

"She finally looked up at me, giving in to a full grin that had the power to knock a guy on his ass."

“Dear God, you make his life hell on a daily basis, don’t you?”
I shrugged and kind of liked telling someone. “I do my best, yes.”
“Mad respect,” he said.

"How could I not smile at that? I realized as I looked down at her that I had no idea who she was. Wild bride, serious professional, hopeless car romantic; which one was the real her? “You’re very weird, Sophie.” “I know,” she said, lifting her chin just a little, daring me to pass judgment. “I like it,” I added, meaning that. There was something about her that . . . "

I'm into this
