Sometimes, you stumble upon a sentence (or few) in the book you’re reading and it speaks to you. This will be my landing zone for those delectable quotes that make my heart sing.
You don’t ever have to really know why you like a poem or a story or a book. If something in it speaks to something in you, then that’s all there is to it.

The Snow Child (Eowyn Ivey)
In my old age, I see that life is often more fantastic and terrible than the stories we believed as children, and that perhaps there is no harm in finding magic among the trees.
The Snow Child (Eowyn Ivey)
“Some love stories burn hot and fast, but you two are more low and slow,” she said. “It’s a strong and steady kind of love.” She was right. More than anything, Luke made me feel safe.
