“Her mind was riffling through the things she didn’t want Mom to know. What was the worst secret her parents could learn?

“The truth about Sharanya, of course, and what that meant about Jess. That was still the worst.”

“They’d set her up to have a life different from theirs, free of the hardships they’d had to endure. The result was that almost all her troubles were exciting new troubles, beyond their skill set to address.”

“She was no longer used to seeking help from her parents. It was simultaneously true that they had given her everything she had and were the reason she could do all she did, and that they were unequipped to deal with 90 percent of the problems she had as an adult.”

I should have been in bed an hour ago. But a few weeks ago, someone on this app suggested a book called #BlackWaterSister by #ZenCho

Very good #book! Not sure who recommended it, but thank you! I really enjoyed it!

Since I finished the last book I was reading (Sorcerer to the Crown by Zen Cho – I can't recommend it enough, by the way, it's an absolute delight) my reading has stuttered to a halt. Aiming to do some later, fingers crossed. Fatigue is such a bugger.

Current read. Sorcerer To The Crown. By Zen Cho. #sorcerertothecrown #zencho #bookstodon @bookstodon #bookworm #booksaregood #librarybook #librariesareamazing #booklover

@KennyCoble @bookstodon The last book I read that made me super happy is #ZenCho ‘s Spirits Abroad. Every single story in there was simply a delight!

I’ll play!
