Sometimes it’s a kindness to let something go even when you love it very much.

Katya Balen, October, October

Making tea is a ritual that stops the world from falling in on you. Everything pauses while you do familiar things with taps and kettles: it allows you to get your breath back and become calm.

Jonathan Stroud, The Creeping Shadow

[razreads]

We don’t always have to love ourselves in order to receive love from others. Sometimes that’s how we learn to love ourselves.

Lauren Shippen, The Infinite Noise

[razreads]

This, I think, is my ultimate fatal flaw. Missing people who don’t miss me back. Clinging on to strands of string that shouldn’t mean half as much as they do. It takes so little for me to love someone, yet so long for me to move on.

Ann Liang, This Time It's Real

Hindsight is a powerful thing. We don't always see what's right in front of us, much less appreciate it. It's not until we look back that we find what we should have known all along.

T. J. Klune, Under the Whispering Door

[razreads]

Whatever we did – or, more crucially, did not do – it seemed that so long as we did it together, our individual sins might be abated. There is no comfort like complicity.

 Justice doesn’t require a membership card. Just a sense of right and wrong.

James Ponti, City Spies

People are passionate and flawed and fallible. They make mistakes. Their memories fade. Their eyes deceive them.

M.L. Rio, If We Were Villains

[razreads]

The trials and tribulations of life weigh heavily upon us, but we find people to help lighten the load.

RAZREADS’ RECMAS 2024

December 18th ~ A book set in a ficticious world: This Savage Song by Victoria Schwab

“Most people want to escape. Get out of their heads. Out of their lives. Stories are the easiest way to do that."

(Photo credit not mine - please see the original post. I just know there are so many great photographs of books out there, I thought I’d explore some whilst I spread the word about some of my favourite reads from the year!)

“You wanted to feel alive, right? It doesn't matter if you're monster or human. Living hurts.”

[razreads]

It’s not always about the things you’ve done, or the mistakes you’ve made. It’s about the people, and what we’re willing to do for one another.

T. J. Klune, Under the Whispering Door

[razreads]

Books, however, are just one part of a library. A proper library has at least one fantastic librarian, preferably more than one, so if the fantastic librarian goes out to lunch or falls into a tar pit, there will be a spare.

Lemony Snicket, Poison for Breakfast

[razreads]

Everyone loses their way at some point, and it’s not just because of their mistakes or the decisions they make. It’s because they’re horribly, wonderfully human.

T.J. Klune, Under the Whispering Door

RAZREADS’ RECMAS 2024

December 20th ~ A well-known book: Divine Rivals by Rebecca Ross

“I don't think you realize how strong you are, because sometimes strength isn't swords and steel and fire, as we are so often made to believe. Sometimes it's found in quiet, gentle places."
