books (re)read in 2021 + @librarysource's mission 2: page to screen — the book thief by markus zusak

I wanted to tell the book thief many things, about beauty and brutality. But what could I tell her about those things that she didn't already know? I wanted to explain that I am constantly overestimating and underestimating the human race-that rarely do I ever simply estimate it. I wanted to ask her how the same thing could be so ugly and so glorious, and its words and stories so damning and brilliant.

and the single last thing in my head: that i like him better than i’ve ever liked anyone and that of all the things he’s ever done to me, making me like him so much is by far the worst.

1.1k celebration. @maddiebvckley asked: chain of gold or the starless sea?

Strange, isn’t it? To love a book. When the words on the pages become so precious that they feel like part of your own history because they are. It’s nice to finally have someone read stories I know so intimately.

C A R A V A L by Stephanie Garber

“Whatever you've heard about Caraval, it doesn't compare to the reality. It's more than just a game or performance. It's the closest you'll ever find yourself magic in this world.”

1.1k celebration. anon asked: holland vosijk or kate harker?

“I spent a long time playing that game,” she said. “Pretending there were other versions of this world, where other versions of me got to live, and be happy, even if I didn’t, and you know what? It’s lonely as hell. Maybe there are other versions, other lives, but this one’s ours. It’s all we’ve got.”

you know, they tell you it’s going to be glamorous. and they tell you that you have everything. they tell you you’re lucky. and no one tells you how lonely it’s gonna be. and they don’t tell you what the papers are gonna say about you some day. 'cause they don’t tell you, they’re building you up just to knock you down.
