You Are Free
Book Review of A Court of Mist and Fury
Once again I play the fool by writing a review of a Sarah J. Maas book only halfway through it. Chapter. Freaking. 30. If you know, you know, but I will summarize. I cried in my car on my lunch break. Here's why:
For Fayre, and I, it has been a year since a terrible thing has occurred. We fought so insanely hard for a man who wouldn't lift a finger for us, and still almost married them. Blind. Stupid. Love.
There. I said it. And proceeded to cry about it in the shower when I got home, because I don't think I have ever read about a main character who has done the same thing that I have, and worse, and still made it out.
Fayre, darling, you are at the other end of my imaginary, weird ass, eye tattoo on my left hand, to let me know I'm not alone.
I'll paint for you, until you can paint for yourself, and you fight for me until I can fight for myself. Deal? Good. Until then, let's paint the black holes in our hearts with the colors only faerie eyes can see and just breath...
We are not alone.

My Latest Obsession with Faeries
If you can even get your hands on a copy of it, read it. All my local libraries have it on hold for the next year, which tells me it must be good. My sister picked it up from a librarian that described it (Poorly, on purpose) as follows, "Girl kills a wolf and then a guy that plays the fiddle follows her around forever." Silly as it may sound, the premise was intriguing to us both. Tis the exact kind of escape from reality that we both needed.

My To Be Read List
I have been taking some time away from writing. I haven't forgotten about Vocal, the truth is I just have been too busy pursuing other things to write online and honestly, my little family and I just had a really hard month between the flu and a weird eye infection/cold circulating our house. I'm currently sipping some warm peppermint tea because my throat is sore.

Rachel Reviews: The Heart's Invisible Furies by John Boyne
Ah, John Boyne. I know that I will never be disappointed picking up one of his books. He is a great storyteller and his books, the ones which are specifically focused on Ireland, seem to have the most depth and the most feeling. Is this just coincidence? I don't think so. I think Ireland is important, because out of the four books by Boyne I've read, the most intense for me as a reader have both been set in Ireland: this one and A History of Loneliness.
