People are led to believe that a marriage ends only when the love has been lost. When anger replaces happiness. When contempt replaces bliss. But Graham and I aren‘t angry at each other. We‘re just not the same people we used to be…People can‘t always control who their circumstances turn them into.” #booklovers #romance

There‘s nothing louder than screaming: Guess who‘s back and introducing this fantastic read!!!!

“Men always want to be a woman's first love. That is their clumsy vanity. We women have a more subtle instinct about things.”
One of my favorite quotes for dontaskmewhatthismeans Insta.

Read it and eat😊

I finally got my hands on the second book of the trilogy and it sustained it‘s gruesome, suspenseful style that I appreciated so much. My takeaway from the book and also one my favourite quote‘s is: “Humans are not defined by death, and they're not defined by what they lack. They're defined by their connections.”

The writing is immersive! The suspense, the fears, the cries, the tension, the relief, the sighs... you feel it all.

I made a Christmas cake✨☃💫✨“We‘re never inside someone else‘s head. We can never really know someone else‘s thoughts. And it‘s thoughts that count. Thought is reality. Actions can be faked.”

I can't say much besides it's beautifully written and the suspense never lets you down. Ever✨

There's nothing better than having something to munch whilst invested in Lisbeth Salander.😊😌😊

1. The Girl Who Lived Twice by David Lagercrantz (I can never get tired of Lisbeth Salander).

“Gravity is jealous, sadistic, and infinite.
Sometimes I think gravity may be death in disguise. Other times I think gravity is love, which is why love‘s only demand is that we fall."

I know the author made fun of this being a movie in the book but can somebody buy the film rights!!! Either this is brilliant or my imagination is, and it must be the former! This is a perfect summer thriller, even the simplicity of the writing style compliments the stakes, the pacing and most importantly the thrill!!!
Favourite quote: The Chain is a cruel method of exploiting the most important human emotion—the capacity for love—to make money.

“ A strong link with a few hundred dollars in the bank is better than a weak link who is a millionaire.”

“The most important thing is that The Chain itself continues. Some of the people on it will be richer than others, but more crucial than their wealth is the fact that they have to be clever and discreet enough to add another link and keep the whole thing going. Each individual link in The Chain is precious. The targets have to have money but they also have to be competent and pliable and afraid."

“A reputation is one hell of a thing to have; you got to kill yourself to keep it.”~
This quick, somewhat light read is about growing up, how part of growing up involves growing apart and hopefully coming together again stronger. I won't say if this is true or not for our protagonists Mark and Byron, but I will say, yes, people change, and eventually someone get's left behind, but just make sure it's the right person. If that makes sense.

“Five minutes.
That‘s all it takes to completely destroy a person.”

“I‘ve fought to remain strong. I‘ve fought to not feel too sorry for myself when I‘m around other people. But sitting here with my mother, I crave weakness. I just want to be able to give up for a little while. I want her to take over and hug me and tell me it‘ll all be okay. And for the next fifteen minutes while I cry in her arms, that‘s exactly what happens. I just stop fighting for myself because I need someone else to do it for me.”

My favourite quote: "Imagine all the people you meet in your life. There are so many. They come in like waves, trickling in and out with the tide. Some waves are much bigger and make more of an impact than others. Sometimes the waves bring with them things from deep in the bottom of the sea and they leave those things tossed onto the shore."

City of Glass, Ghosts, The Locked Room, all complete 🌟🌟🌟🌟/🌟 I would've given it a perfect score if Ghosts didn't sour my love a little, it was my least favourite. Luckily, it didn't put me off entirely because after falling hard and fast for City of Glass, going through a rough patch with Ghosts, The Locked room reignited my romance for the trilogy and after the last sentence it felt like I lost something... in a good way. 💞

We all want to be told stories, and we listen to them in the same way we did when we were young..👆🏻👆🏼👆👆🏽👆🏾👆🏿

"...Stories without endings can do nothing but go on forever, and to be caught in one means that you must die before your part in it is played out. My only hope is that there is an end to what I am about to say, that somewhere I will find a break in the darkness. This hope is what I define as courage, but whether there is reason to hope is another question entirely.” 2/2

"Only darkness has the power to make a man open his heart to the world, and darkness is what surrounds me whenever I think of what happened. If courage is needed to write about it, I also know that writing about it is the one chance I have to escape. But I doubt this will happen, not even if I manage to tell the truth..." 1/2

“He was the one who was with me, the one who shared my thoughts, the one I saw whenever I looked up from myself.
But that was a long time ago. We grew up, went off to different places, drifted apart. None of that is very strange, I think. Our lives carry us along in ways we cannot control, and almost nothing stays with us. It dies when we do, and death is something that happens to us every day.”

“Lying is a bad thing. It makes you sorry you were ever born. And not to have been born is a curse. You are condemned to live outside time. And when you live outside time, there is no day and night. You don‘t even get a chance to die.”

"...For man is a fallen creature— we know that from Genesis. Humpty Dumpty is also a fallen creature. He falls from his wall, and no one can put him back together again—neither the king, nor his horses, nor his men. But that is what we must all now strive to do. It is our duty as human beings: to put the egg back together again. For each of us, sir, is Humpty Dumpty. And to help him is to help ourselves.” 2/2

“Humpty Dumpty: the purest embodiment of the human condition. Listen carefully, sir. What is an egg? It is that which has not yet been born. A paradox, is it not? For how can Humpty Dumpty be alive if he has not been born? ... For all men are eggs, in a manner of speaking. We exist, but we have not yet achieved the form that is our destiny. We are pure potential, an example of the not-yet-arrived..." 1/2

"...The world was outside of him, around him, before him, and the speed with which it kept changing made it impossible for him to dwell on any one thing for very long... By wandering aimlessly, all places became equal, and it no longer mattered where he was. On his best walks, he was able to feel that he was nowhere. And this, finally, was all he ever asked of things: to be nowhere." 2/2

“Each time he took a walk, he felt as though he were leaving himself behind, and by giving himself up to the movement of the streets, by reducing himself to a seeing eye, he was able to escape the obligation to think, and this, more than anything else, brought him a measure of peace, a salutary emptiness within..." 1/2
