I’M MOVING MY BLOG!

I have had this blog for many years, I have even grown fond of it. This blog has had many facets, many fandoms, and this year I have met many incredible people thanks to it... ✨

But at the same time I want to start over and mix all the interests that I have besides books. So the new blog will be a mix between books, photography, quotes, music & more!

This blog will stay up as an archive.

You can find me at @exeuntomnes! So feel free to follow me there!

I hope to see you over there! ❤️

For never was a story of more woe than this of Juliet and her Romeo

He is lost in Agamemnon and Odysseus’ wily double meanings, their lies and games of power. They have confounded him, tied him to a stake and baited him. I stroke the soft skin of his forehead. I would untie him if I could. If he would let me.

The Song Of Achilles, Madeline Miller

“But wasn’t that what every girl dreamed? That she’d wake and find herself a princess? Or blessed with magical powers and a grand destiny? Maybe there were people who lived those lives. Maybe this girl was one of them. But what about the rest of us? What about the nobodies and the nothings, the invisible girls? We learn to hold our heads as if we wear crowns. We learn to wring magic from the ordinary. That was how you survived when you weren’t chosen, when there was no royal blood in your veins. When the world owed you nothing, you demanded something of it anyway.”

I have become something wonderful, she thought. I have become something terrible. 

Was she now a goddess or a monster? Perhaps neither. Perhaps both.

she wished she had inej’s gift for spywork or kaz’s gift for scheming, but she only seemed to have jesper’s gift for bad decisions.

@projectliterature event 01: 2020 releases  —  these violent delights     — The year is 1926, and Shanghai hums to the tune of debauchery. A blood feud between two gangs runs the streets red, leaving the city helpless in the grip of chaos. At the heart of it all is eighteen-year-old Juliette Cai, a former flapper who has returned to assume her role as the proud heir of the Scarlet Gang—a network of criminals far above the law. Their only rivals in power are the White Flowers, who have fought the Scarlets for generations. And behind every move is their heir, Roma Montagov, Juliette’s first love…and first betrayal.

“The Secret History” by Donna Tartt

“And if beauty is terror,” said Julian, “then what is desire? We think we have many desires, but in fact we have only one. What is it?” “To live,” said Camilla. “To live forever,” said Bunny, chin cupped in palm.”

I’d give it all up, you know. all of it. the money and the jobs and the fame. I’d give it all up just to be with you, just to be n o r m a l with you.

The Lynch brothers had many secrets.

A Darker Shade of Magic by V.E. Schwab

“Are you afraid of dying? Holland had asked him in the alley.  And Kell was. Had always been, ever since he could remember. He feared not living, feared ceasing to exist. Lila’s world may believe in Heaven and Hell, but his believed in dust. He was taught early that magic reclaimed magic, and earth reclaimed earth, the two dividing when the body died, the person they had combined to be simply forfeit, lost.  Nothing lasted. Nothing remained.”

“ The absence of pain led to an absence of fear, and the absence of fear led to a disregard for consequence.”

come celebrate 3.5k with me! 

I stand at that statue and claim the bodies whose names the world wants to forget. I claim those bodies whose names I was taught to forget. And I claim the unsung bloodlines that soak the ground beneath my feet, because I know, I just know, that if they could, they would claim me.

He drew in a deep breath then awkwardly stepped forward. He took her face in his hands and kissed her. Genya went regid. I thought she’d push him away. But then she threw her arms around him and kissed him back. Emphatically. Mal cleared his throat, and Tamar gave a low whistle. I had to bite my lip to stifle a nervous laugh. They broke apart. David was blushing furiously. Genya’s grin was so dazzling it made my heart twist in my chest.
