night tree desire
The trees called to me, urging me to abandon what I knew and vanish into the oncoming night. It was a desire that had been tugging me with disconcerting frequency these days.
mother vocabulary people
In his head, his mother said, 'People shout when they don’t have the vocabulary to whisper'.
baby want three
We have to be back in three hours', Ronan said. 'I just fed Chainsaw but she'll need it again.' 'This', Gansey replied, 'is precisely why I didn't want to have a baby with you.
fascinated
I’d always thought I was above being fascinated by anyone but myself.
memories thinking islands
I think that’s a mercy of this island, actually, that it won’t give us our terrible memories for long, but let us keep the good ones for as long as we want them.
self-confidence boys hunting
Adam wasn't certain what came first with Blue--her treating the boys as friends, or them all becoming friends. It seemed to Adam that this circular way to build relationships required a healthy amount of self-confidence to undertake. And it was a strange sort of magic that it felt like she'd always been hunting for Glendower with them.

Blue said, "Better recycle that bottle.
book horror filmmaker
Oh, filmmakers, please don't take my soft book and turn it into a horror, or take my horror and make it soft.
men names long
Eventually, the Gray Man thought, if he resisted using it for long enough, he himself might forget his own name, and became someone else entirely.
book hands going-away
This object that we hold in our hands, a book... that tactile pleasure, it's just not going to go away.
dystopian-fiction culture violent
Would we be so enamored with dystopian fiction if we lived in a culture where violent death was a major concern? It wouldn't be escapism.
teenager people doe
As teenagers, we all see ourselves as outsiders... and it's very easy to look at other people who are more popular, who have more pocket money, and it makes you feel even more like an outsider, and it does shape who you become as a person.
