“I will strip away all that you know, all that you love, until you have no shelter but mine.”
Categorie:Backlist Book Reviews
Omdat ik al eerder een blog heb gehad, over boeken (ja, echt waar!) heb ik een aantal backlist book reviews om te publiceren. Naast mijn recente reviews, zal ik dus elke zaterdag een Backlist Book Review publiceren.
Siege and Storm
“When people say impossible, they usually mean improbable.”
Shadow and Bone
‘I’ve been waiting for you a long time, Alina,’ he said. ‘You and I are going to change the world.’
Red Queen
“The truth is what I make it. I could set this world on fire and call it rain.”
Kindred Spirits
‘Everybody likes everything these days. The whole world is a nerd.’ ‘Are you mad because other people like Star Wars? Are you mad because people like me like Star Wars?’ ‘Maybe.’
Exile
“Life follows its own rules here.”
The Extinction Trials
“Everything they’d been told about dinosaurs was a complete and utter lie. Unintelligent creatures didn’t track you for thousands of sectars across a continent. Creatures who only acted on instinct didn’t know how to put out fires. Tiny-brained dinosaurs didn’t put themselves in harms way to save a human life.”
Mayfly
Jemma has spent her life scavenging tools and supplies for her tribe in the their small enclave outside what used to be a big city.
Shatter Me
“I spent my life folded between the pages of books.
In the absence of human relationships I formed bonds with paper characters. I lived love and loss through stories threaded in history; I experienced adolescence by association. My world is one interwoven web of words, stringing limb to limb, bone to sinew, thoughts and images all together. I am a being comprised of letters, a character created by sentences, a figment of imagination formed through fiction.”
Finding Sky
“The last thing I wanted was to fall in love
because, deep down, I remembered that love hurt.”
