Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland

BOOKS READ IN 2018: All Systems Red by Martha Wells

I could have become a mass murderer after I hacked my governor module, but then I realized I could access the combined feed of entertainment channels carried on the company satellites. It had been well over 35,000 hours or so since then, with still not much murdering, but probably, I don’t know, a little under 35,00 hours of movies, serials, books, plays, and music consumed. As a heartless killing machine, I was a terrible failure.

BOOKS READ IN 2018: Sleeping Giants by Sylvain Neuvel

the starless sea, by erin morgenstern

“be brave,” she says. “be bold. be loud. never change for anyone but yourself. any soul worth their star-stuff will take the whole package as is and however it grows. don’t waste your time on anyone who doesn’t believe you when you tell them how you feel.”

Literature A - Z [ 26 / 26 ] ⟶ Z forThe Zookeeper’s Wife by Diana Ackerman

The idea of safety had shrunk into particles - one snug moment, then the next. Meanwhile, the brain piped fugues of worry and staged mind-theaters full of tragedies and triumphs, because unfortunately, the fear of death does wonders to focus the mind, inspire creativity, and heightens the senses. 

Literature A - Z [ 25 / 26 ] ⟶ Y forYou Should See Me in a Crown by Leah Johnson

I never needed this race, or a hashtag, or the king to be a queen. I was born royalty. All I had to do was pick up my crown.

Literature A - Z [ 24 / 26 ] ⟶ XforThe X-Files by Charles L. Grant

Mulder slowed as he approached the front walk, slipping his left hand into his pocket to wrap around his gun. Front or back? Wait for Scully, or do the stupid thing and go in on his own?
He had no realistic alternative.

Literature A - Z [ 21 / 26 ] ⟶ UforThe Unbound by VE Schwab

Da used to say that lies were easy, but trust was hard. Trust is like faith: it can turn people into believers, but every time it’s lost, trust becomes harder and harder to win back.

Literature A - Z [ 23 / 26 ] ⟶ WforWilder Girls by Rory Power

Usually, it was an accident. A lie I never set out to tell. A trick I never meant to play. I’d open my mouth, and something strange would come out, new and not mine. Like there was someone else inside.

Literature A - Z [ 22 / 26 ] ⟶ VforViciousby VE Schwab

But these words people threw around - humans, monsters, heroes, villains - to Victor it was all just a matter of semantics. Someone could call themselves a hero and still walk around killing dozens. Someone else could be labeled a villain for trying to stop them. Plenty of humans were monstrous, and plenty of monsters knew how to play at being human.
