"Nobody ever believes me when I tell them my uncle Earl owns a museum."

JOMP BPC || August 12 || Retelling: This felt timely considering my last three reads all meet the prompt!
“She was theirs; they were hers. The love of monsters was uncomplicated.”
― T. Kingfisher, Thornhedge
"But some day you will be old enough to start reading fairy tales again."
- C.S. Lewis
“She was neither beautiful nor made of malice, as many of the Fair Folk are said to be. Mostly she was fretful and often tired.”
― T. Kingfisher, Thornhedge
There's a princess trapped in a tower.
This isn't her story. 🥀
"Well. Here is a thing, but you don't have to read it, but it's yours if you want to. And if not, I'll write you some different ones."

“Tomorrow, in my experience, is only worth worrying about when there’s something you can do about it.”
― T. Kingfisher, What Feasts at Night
“The problem with telling a story, of course, is that you already know that I’m telling you about something significant that happened. It’s not as if we sat down together and you said, “Alex, tell me a tale where you had a pleasant trip to your homeland and the worst menace you faced was the amount of paprika the Widow put in the sausages.” No, you wanted a proper hair-raiser and here I am, trying to tell you one, whoever you are.”
― T. Kingfisher, What Feasts at Night
“Now, for the most part, I do not object to church. I think it’s fine for those who want it. God, in my experience, is more likely to be found in gutters and at the bottom of dirty trenches than in designated architecture, but possibly that’s just because that’s where Ha is needed. (Ha and Har are our particular Gallacian pronouns that are used only for God. When I found out that in English those are sounds associated with laughter, all I could think was, “Yeah, sounds about right.”)”
― T. Kingfisher, What Feasts at Night
“Paris, when we had left, had been in full glory. Much is made of springtime there, but for my money, a warm autumn is just as spectacular and you don't trip over nearly as many poets.”
― T. Kingfisher, What Feasts at Night
“A poet once wrote that the woods of Gallacia are as deep and dark as God’s sorrow, and while I am usually skeptical of poets, I feel this one may have been onto something. Certainly the stretch of my homeland that I found myself riding through was as deep and dark as something out of a fairy tale.”― T. Kingfisher, What Feasts at Night

Kingfisher#books#book photography#current reading#Not out of void but out of chaos#technically I finished last night but I do want the book to exist in my current reading tag#I literally read it in an hour late at night in bed which wasn’t really the time for aesthetic posts and quotes!
Pretty aesthetic photos tomorrow! Tonight is for foolishly starting creepy books late at night and barely remembering to snap a picture at all!!! 🌙
