after going through 1029202902 reading slumps, I’ve realized that my reading has gotten really slow compared to how it used to be. I guess I’m a slow reader now, it hate it here.

should I go to sleep or keep reading and maybe pull an all nighter? I know I should probably sleep but cemetery boys is getting SO good 😭😭😭😭😭

“So, what, I’m a ghost now?”
“Spirit,” Yadriel corrected.
“What’s the difference?” Julian asked, flapping his hand at Maritza as she hovered like a fly.
“Well, I don’t know if there’s a difference,” Yadriel ventured, fidgeting with the necklace in his hands. “I think maybe ‘ghost’ is sort of … derogatory?”

I'm loving this SO MUCH

why are my new reviews not showing up for people?? or in my updates? stop being weird goodreads!!

I made a review for “Teen Titans: Raven” and “Teen Titans: Beast Boy”, so if you’re interested go check them out!

i forgot how to read

I did it guys! I’ve finally read. 😌

“And I know you see things when you close your eyes that no one should ever see. But there is good in you, Lucifer, overwhelmingly so. I know there is. You are special. You are important. Not just to the others. But to me. There has never been anyone like you before, and I see you for all that you are, and all the things you aren’t. Come home. All I want you to do is come home.”

ARTHUR IS THE BEST DAD FUCK

“Do you like to dance?”
Linus exhaled heavily as he looked up at Arthur. The Moonglows began to sing about the ten commandments of love.
“I don’t know. I might have two left feet, honestly.”
“I highly doubt that.” Arthur nodded. He reached up as if he were going to touch the side of Linus’s face, but curled his hand into a fist and stepped back. He smiled tightly. “Good night, Linus.”

SHIT OMG

Sal shrugged. “It—the closet helped me feel small. I wasn’t ready to be bigger yet.”

“Sometimes, things get chipped and broken, but there’s still good in them.”
“Adds character, I think,” Linus said. “And allows for a reminder of a memory.”

omg, I want to protect sal from all harm. 🥺
and arthur, zoe and the kids working together to give him the typewriter was the cutest thing ever!!

I literally haven’t read in like a week, somebody help me 😭

“Isn’t much?” Linus said incredulously. “Phee, it’s wonderful.”
She looked startled as she glanced between Linus and Zoe. “It is?”
His hand was shaking when he reached out to touch the flower gently. It was such a little thing, yet it was there when only moments before there had been nothing at all. “It is,” he said firmly. “Absolutely wonderful. I’ve never seen such a thing.”

I’M CRYING

“It’s something small, but I think the smaller things can be just as important.”
“Everything has to start somewhere,” Zoe said, patting the top of Phee’s head. “And as long as we nurture them, they can grow beyond anything we thought possible. Isn’t that right, Linus?”

fuck, I’m sobbing. 🤧

“I’m glad to see you survived,” Linus said, shifting awkwardly as he stood next to the chair.
Arthur tilted his head back to look up at him. “Quite brave of me, I know.”
Linus snorted. “Indeed. They’ll write epic poems about you.”
“I should like that, I think.”
“Of course you would.”

I CAN’T HANDLE THIS SJSKJSKSJSKKS THEIR BANTER IS SO CUTE GRRRR

“We all go together.” He took a step into the trees, and the children followed, huddled around him.
It caused Linus’s heart to ache sweetly.”

“We need to be brave,” Sal said.”

sal is so brave, I love him a lot. 🥺

“Arthur squared his shoulders. He pulled out his machete and hopped up onto a large boulder, waves crashing around him. He made for a dashing figure, like a hero of old. He pointed the machete toward the copse of trees. “For the expedition!” he cried.
“For the expedition!” the children shouted in response.
Arthur winked at Linus, jumped down from the boulder, and ran for the trees.”

I LOVE ARTHUR SM!!!!

linus is out here calling arthur ETHEREAL, my boy is in loveeeeee.

“Kant, Arthur? Seriously? Of all the things.”
Mr. Parnassus’s eyes sparkled in the failing sunlight. “He had his fallacies.”
“Oh, that’s an understatement if I ever heard one. Schopenhauer said—”
“Schopenhauer? I take back every nice thing I’ve ever said about you, Linus. You are banished from the island. Leave immediately.”

MY TWO DADS ARGUING ABOUT PHILOSOPHY!! SJKLKSLJK I LOVE THEM SO MUCH

“My brain is filled with spiders burrowing their eggs in the gray matter. Soon they’ll hatch and consume me.”

lucy is such an edgelord, god. but he’s allowed to be one, he’s the only legal edgelord.

“Lucy looked up at Linus, who was plastered against the bedroom door. “I am who I am.”
“Quite”

I’m laughing my ass off.

“It didn’t matter that Mr. Parnassus didn’t appear to own a pair of slacks that actually fit his long legs, given that they were always too short. Today he wore blue socks with clouds on them. Linus refused to be charmed.
He mostly succeeded.”

honestly, I feel for arthur, I’m 5'11 and I can’t find pants that fit me either. it’s a constant struggle. tall solidarity!!!

“But he felt lighter somehow. Like he wasn’t paint blending into the wall.
He felt real.
He felt present.
Almost like he could be seen.”

I cry 🥺
also, sal has got some bars, damn.

arthur is so sweet to the kids 😭😭
i want him and ms. chapelwhite to adopt me rn

“Linus shook his head, trying to clear his thoughts. It wouldn’t do for someone in his position to sit here gawking at the master of an orphanage. Linus Baker was nothing if not a consummate professional, and he had a job to do.”

linus has a crush on arthur 🗣🗣, I mean, I don’t blame him. I’d be crushing on the dark academia teacher with messy hair too.

lucy is so dramatic, I love him so much.

“Linus slumped against the door. His legs gave out, and he slid to the carpet.
“You know,” he told her, “I don’t know if I had a very good day. No, I don’t think I had a good day at all.”
Calliope, as was her wont, only purred.
They stayed that way for a long time.”

linus baker and his emotional support cat are the only two things helping me keep my shit together right now.

I’m nearly finished with this semester of university, I can’t wait until it’s finally done and I can have some time off to read and draw. I’ve been drowning in work lately, so there’s almost no time left for my hobbies, it’s sad.

“He’d accepted long ago that some people, no matter how good their heart was or how much love they had to give, would always be alone. It was their lot in life, and Linus had figured out, at the age of twenty-seven, that it seemed to be that way for him.”

oh wow, I’m still at the beginning of the book and I’m already crying haha, everything is fine.

I already love linus, he’s just so nervous all the time, he’s me basically.

i’ve been forgetting to update this book on here cause i’m reading nonstop and i’m so involved with the story BUT WTF WAS CHAPTER 40 I WANT TO COMMIT A CRIME THIS IS ILLEGAL NOOOOOO
