Until the eighteenth century, it was customary for a publisher to only produce the book block. People could choose a bookbinder to provide it with a (luxury) binding of their choice. Suenonius Mandelgreen, one of the top Dutch eighteenth-century bookbinders designed the cover with the Van Borssele van der Hooge family’s coat of arms in the center and cupids shooting arrows at a flying heart in the corners. (1755)

THE BIGGEST HEAR ME OUT

since I started reading on ao3 I've become aware that there are more interesting and much better written ff's than many books that have been published (I'm starting to wonder how lol)

Studying past notes in preparation for upcoming classes is the best life hack! Little light reading in between :)

“Sometimes people, like tales, begin where they do not belong.” Nadya is a Russian orphan, born with only one arm, adopted by an American couple more interested in ‘doing good’ than in raising a real child. Her only solace in her new home is watching turtles in a local pond. But one day, glimpsing a sort-of door in the grasses, she falls into the water—and wakes a Drowned Girl, in a world where water is air and turtles are lifelong companions.

Seanan McGuire’s Wayward Children series really never misses. Adrift in Currents Clean and Air is all the more precious for what readers of the series know will always come: a door will bring her in, but she’ll also be cast out. (It isn’t necessary to dive back into Beneath the Sugar Sky, where Nadya first made her appearance, before reading, but it will enhance how poignant the story really is.) I loved this waterworld; some fantasy worlds are twisty and difficult to follow, but Belyyreka isn’t (or maybe it just calls to me, a water lover, a girl who loves the waves). It’s built cleanly and seamlessly.

The issues in it are well thought-out and done with careful, sincere grace. Nadya’s adopted parents treat her like a thing, a possession to carry with them, to shape and carve into a perfect, American child. Shortly before her door takes her away, they order her a prosthetic without asking or explaining, expecting her to be automatically grateful, when she has never been anything but capable and content with her one arm.

All around, another superb addition to the Wayward Children stack. I’m already impatient for the next!

Lore time!!!! :3

Mhm k, so, when Vierla is dating Pete, he obviously wants to show off what a huge catch he has, and showing her to the club somehow made them cause a huge fight, specifically Bill because he doesn’t allow girls to join. When they decided to stop finally it was because Bill didn’t want Pete to show up to any of the meetings anymore if he was still going out with her. Hearing this, she feels incredibly bad for Pete and wants to him to enjoy the things he love. She goes to Bill the next day and asks him to let Pete be unsuspended from the club. He sees this is as an opportunity to rip her off, so he decides that he will let Pete join in their meetings if she agreed to whatever Bill said. She agrees and hooked his pinkie with his, a segment of their promise.

She does what he wanted as to keep Pete in the club. Vierla finds herself a bit miserable with all the weird tasks she had to do and buy some collectibles for him, despite that she finds him funny with his reactions and he started to grow on her more and more. They usually hangout in secret, and talked about whatever and their problems, it seemed like she finally had a friend that understood her (other than Pete) comforting as it seems. Bill couldn’t help that each time they hold eye contact it felt like they were in their own little world together.

There was one night, where Pete got sick, and she didn’t want to go to the pep rally alone, so she asked Bill. Of course he said no at first, but with enough begging he decided to go, and it was cold to where you could see your breath.

After the pep rally, they walked together to her place and the moon was full tonight, where it was just the two of them. She pointed out the moon and talked about how beautiful it was tonight, and he would slightly disagree because how can it be beautiful? It wasn’t even—he started to shut up when the moonlight brightly lit her face, and heat crept up on his face. That’s when he realized. Even thought the moonlight wasn’t beautiful to him, the person in front of him was…Pete felt this way with Vierla, did she always have this affect on people?..He wouldn’t know and he didn’t care. All he wanted was to keep this moment just a bit longer and never let this night to end for them. Unfortunately for him, they made it to her house and she gave him a hug before going inside.

"Thanks for being a great friend..I had an amazing time."

"Sure..whatever.."

He developed a crush on Vierla. Pete’s Girlfriend. Shit.
