Behind them lay pain and death and fear; ahead of them lay doubt, and danger, and fathomless mysteries. But they weren’t alone.

"People call Xicheng the brightest city in the world, but where there's stronger light, there're darker shadows," Ren said quietly to Jun. "The capital is a dangerous place, especially for outsiders."

ROBIN HOBB’S REALM OF THE ELDERLINGS >> Bee Farseer The Fitz and The Fool Trilogy (Book One; Fool's Assassin)

I found that the warren of paths in the walls was more extensive than my father had told me. I wondered if he knew and had lied to me, or if the openings were so small that he had dismissed them. I had to set exploring aside for another time. I had many old Dreams to record, and each writing must be as detailed as I could wring from my memory. I wrote the Dream of the flying buck and the one about the tapestry with the tall ancient kings with golden eyes. It took six pages for me to write my Dream about the fish-white boy in the boat with no oars and how he sold himself as a slave. I wrote a Dream I'd had of my father cutting open his chest and taking out his heart and pressing it into a stone until there was no blood left in it. I did not understand the Dreams I wrote down, but I thought that one day someone might, and so I recorded them.

Who am I between the projects and the assignments, when there's nothing to do? I haven't found her yet and it scares me. Maybe that's why, for my senior capstone project this year, I decided to solve a murder.

✨ BOOK REVIEW ✨

Diversions: Lights Anthology by Romance Writers of Australia

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[instagram]

This is such a great little anthology. All the stories are short and snappy and very sweet.

I genuinely enjoyed all the stories in here. There’s such a range of sexualities, gender identities and disabilities presented in these pages and each little bit of representation made me happy.

Some of my standout faves were Myriad Lights by Georgia Moore, Concussion Sunset by Bea Sage and It’s a Date by Devon May.

Definitely recommend for an easy read and to get a taste of some of the wonderful talent Australian romance authors have to offer.

read in 2024: in my dreams i hold a knife by ashley winstead

A woman who wanted was an ugly thing. I knew it made me childish and vulnerable. My whole life had taught me that lesson. But still. For one moment, laid out on the grass, all my ruined, pointless, pent-up wanting was too great to contain.

Thomas looked guilty. Inky roses and thorns grew over his workbook page, vicious and cruel and lovely. The thorns curved like hooked scythes, and it looked as if whoever touched that paper would bleed.
