"You were born with potential.
You were born with goodness and trust. You were born with ideals and dreams. You were born with greatness.
You were born with wings.
You are not meant for crawling, so don’t.
You have wings.
Learn to use them and fly."

Juliette is the main character in Shatter Me by Tahereh Mafi. She’s beautifully broken and totally fierce. I love her! Since Tahereh revealed some e-novella news today, I thought to do this set.
It was much harder than I thought! Warner would have picked all her clothes, of course selecting the best and the fanciest (and the most likely to showcase her arms.) He wouldn’t give her many flats, probably just flip flops. So, Juliette, to cover as much skin as possible would probably wear heels in self-defense. To learn what the accessories mean, you have to read the book. ;)
I feel like I need to say something.
He was… amazing.
He was part of many children’s lives, effecting them in sometimes small and other times profound ways. It’s truly a shame to see such a wonderful man die.
However, instead of posting general statements of sadness and grief over this loss. I feel like my time would be better served remembering his words, his stories. So that’s what I’m going to do.
“let the wild rumpus start!”
“Once a little boy sent me a charming card with a little drawing in it. I loved it. I answer all my children’s letters— sometimes very hastily—but this one I lingered over. I sent him a card and I drew a picture of a wild thing on it. I wrote, “Dear Jim: I loved your card.” Then I got a letter back from his mother and she said, “Jim loved your card so much he ate it.” That to me was one of the highest compliments I’ve ever received. He didn’t care that it was an original Maurice Sendak drawing or anything. He saw it, he loved it, he ate it.”
“I cry a lot because I miss people. They die and I can’t stop them. They leave and I love them even more.”
“Oh please don’t go. We’ll eat you up. We love you so.”
“What I dread is the isolation… There are so many beautiful things in the world which I have to leave when I die, but I’m ready, I’m ready, I’m ready.”
John Green films a video in Amsterdam, talking about The Fault in Our Stars and he says this one sentence.
“But all I could think about now, as night fell, was how much you can love made up people and how much you can miss them.”
I just started crying, for like 5 solid minutes. You know, that kind of crying where it completely takes you by surprise, that bends you in half like you’ve been punched in the stomach? Yeah, that was me.
John Green, why do you always do this to me you stupid wonderful man?
"How absurd it was that in all seven kingdoms, the weakest and most vulnerable of people - girls, women - went unarmed and were taught nothing of fighting, while the strong were trained to the highest reaches of their skill."

BEST SUMMER BREAK EVER.
Excuse me while I go scream until my vocal cords bleed rainbows and my eyes are shooting out ponies barfing glitter.
BECAUSE OMG BEST DAY OF MY LIFE. Thank you Myra for saying it was open on Netgalley!
Fangirling so hard right now!
Kaleb! Kaleb! Kaleb! Kaleb! EMERSON! EMERSON! EMERSON! Michael! Kaleb! Kaleb! Kaleb! Kaleb! Lily! Kaleb! Kaleb! Kaleb! Kaleb!
Oh god, I need to stop, seriously might be hyperventilating here.
I apologize in advance for all the people I just scared with my fangirling, especially Myra. I just get so excited/happy/hyper.
(Added to the fact that I got a real ARC of Once Burned by Jeaniene Frost and UGH I am in reader heaven.)
Sorry for the gif over-use too, there’s just no way to express all this emotion!

Because I want to follow you all. People are so surprised to find out that even though I read a whole bunch of classics, non fiction, and fiction, I also read teen fiction. I’m not ashamed to admit that I love a bit of romance and paranormal action. I get so annoyed when people make fun of me for it, so I want to know that I’m not alone. :]

Is it bad that I immediately thought “TWILIGHT BOOK FONT”? But seriously though… I wonder what it could be.
