So Cassandra Jean has finished the complete Shadowhunter Tarot, so for the next … seventy-something days I’ll be posting a card a day (okay, maybe not every day — I tend to get distracted!) in order, from the first card to the last. Some will be under spoiler cuts; some you’ll have seen before — I’ll explain why each character has the card they have.

We’ve moved on from the Major Arcana to the minor Arcana — the first suit is the suit of Rings, which takes the place of the suit of Pentacles. Each Rings card shows the family ring of a particular Shadowhunter family and some of the members. The Six of Rings shows the Starkweather family in the TID era — Aloysius and the portrait of Adele that Tessa encounters in Clockwork Prince.

Such a sad family!

*sigh* “I have for the first time found what I can truly love–I have found you. You are my sympathy–my better self–my good angel–I am bound to you with a strong attachment. I think you good, gifted, lovely: a fervent, a solemn passion is conceived in my heart; it leans to you, draws you to my centre and spring of life, wrap my existence about you–and, kindling in pure, powerful flame, fuses you and me in one.” - Jane Eyre, Charlotter Brontë

“

The only ligh comes from the tiny night-light that shines into the glass heart.
I stare at it, from my place in bed. I stare until my sight blurs and all the blues and greens and amber colors blend into one mosaic.
Sometimes at night, I wake upo and stare at the heart for hours, thinking of all it means to me, and to him. I think of how I worked for so long to give it to him. How I collected each piece from the beach, how I glued it all together into one big sculputure.
I wonder if he stares it like i do. I wonder if he realizes what it means, that he’ll always have a piece of me no matter what happens. Each piece of glass is another piece of myself I gave to him.

It’s too bad I didin’t keep any pieces for myself.

“

I would embrace any sacrifice for you and for those dear to you. Try to hold me in your mind, at some quiet times, as ardent and sincere in this one thing. The time will come, the time will not be long in coming, when new ties will be formed about you—ties that will bind you yet more tenderly and strongly to the home you so adorn—the dearest ties that will ever grace and gladden you. O Miss Manette, when the little picture of a happy father’s face looks up in yours, when you see your own bright beauty springing up anew at your feet, think now and then that there is a man who would give his life, to keep a life you love beside you!”

He said, “Farewell!” said a last “God bless you!” and left her.

““You anticipate what I would say, though you cannot know how earnestly I say it, how earnestly I feel it, without knowing my secret heart, and the hopes and fears and anxieties with which it has long been laden. Dear Doctor Manette, I love your daughter fondly, dearly, disinterestedly, devotedly. If ever there were love in the world, I love her. You have loved yourself; let your old love speak for me!””

“‘I’m …’‘I don’t want to hear it. Every time you open that mouth of yours you say something dumb that gets me angry, so I’m gonna stop you the only way I know how.’ His lips swooped down on mine in a hot, forceful kiss, spiced with fury and frustration. Firecrackers exploded behind my closed eyes, sparkles in the pit of my stomach. I could feel the muscles of his chest bunching as he shifted to move me to a better angle, his fingers slipping under the damp material of my T-shirt to brush my waist. Responding to this new side to him, I shoved my hand under the tight belt around his jeans to touch the small of his back, palm resting against the strong notch at the base of his spine. His skin was so warm, so perfect.
He raised his head to take a breath. ‘Don’t you dare say we don’t belong together,’ he warned. ‘We have this—and so much more. I’m not letting you throw it away.’
Please don’t let me, my mind echoed. I pressed my ear to his chest, seeking out the comforting rhythm of his heartbeat”

“Sometimes, you read a book and it fills you with this weird evangelical zeal, and you become convinced that the shattered world will never be put back together unless and until all living humans read the book. And then there are books like An Imperial Affliction, which you can’t tell people about, books so special and rare and yours that advertising your affection feels like a betrayal.”

“I looked over at Augustus Waters, who looked back at me. You could almost see through his eyes they were so blue. “There will come a time,” I said, “when all of us are dead. All of us. There will come a time when there are no human beings remaining to remember that anyone ever existed or that our species ever did anything. There will be no one left to remember Aristotle or Cleopatra, let alone you. Everything that we did and built and wrote and thought and discovered will be forgotten and all of this”—I gestured encompassingly—“will have been for naught. Maybe that time is coming soon and maybe it is millions of years away, but even if we survive the collapse of our sun, we will not survive forever. There was time before organisms experienced consciousness, and there will be time after. And if the inevitability of human oblivion worries you, I encourage you to ignore it. God knows that’s what everyone else does.””

“You remember I said before that Ackley was a slob in his personal habits? Well, so
was Stradlater, but in a different way. Stradlater was more of a secret slob.
He always looked all right, Stradlater, but for instance, you should’ve
seen the razor he shaved himself with. It was always rusty as hell and full of
lather and hairs and crap. He never cleaned it or anything. He always looked
good when he was finished fixing himself up, but he was a secret slob anyway,
if you knew him the way I did. The reason he fixed himself up to look good was
because he was madly in love with himself.”

HELL-O,

Estou lendo no momento…

* The Catcher in the Rye - J.D Salinger *

“O Apanhador no Campo de Centeio” é um clássico americano dos anos 50 e - se você se interessa por livros - já deve ter ouvido falar. Existem muitas citações sobre a obra em livros da atualidade. J.D. Salinger era um cara meio esquisito e isso também contribuiu para a reputação do livro. Estou lendo na língua original,porque acho mais interessante assim,mas garanto que as boas bibliotecas têm a versão brasileira. Procurem. O livro conta a estória de um adolescente e suas reflexões sobre o mundo e as pessoas em geral.

* Tale of Two Cities *

Sou apaixonada pelos contos de Charles Dickens. O autor inglês é considerado o maior escritor da era vitoriana e para os desavisados,ele também escreveu os aclamados “David Copperfield” e “Oliver Twist”. O que eu mais gosto em sua narrativa? A doçura e a esperança que seus finais transmitem. “Um conto de duas cidades” me foi indicado por uma professora,quando comentei que gosto de triângulos amorosos.

* A Casa dos Macacos*

“A Casa dos Macacos” foi um livro indicado pela Luiza,(ex)mkt da editora Record. Li “Água para Elefantes” o famoso romance de Sara Gruen que foi adaptado para o cinema e,honestamente, não me impressionou…not-a-tiny-bit. Contudo,estou ADORANDO “A Casa dos Macacos”,em breve review no blog!

Dia do Leitor!

Sat, 07 Jan 2012 12:41:00 -0500

Imaginação,inteligência,sagacidade,comprometimento e empatia.

São tantas qualidades que a leitura exige que algumas pessoas apenas desistem.

Contudo,a maior qualidade que nós leitores possuímos é a curiosidade. Queremos saber mais sobre nós mesmos,sobre os outros,sobre o mundo.

** Biografia,ficção,fantasia,romance…**

Leitores são opinativos.

Leitores são criativos.

Leitores são aqueles que entendem que a mente precisa de exercício tanto quanto os bíceps ou o glúteo.

Leitores são espertos porque já aprenderam algumas lições de vida em meio às paginas de um livro.

Leitores são feitos de sangue,lágrimas e risadas.

FELIZ DIA DO LEITOR!

Olá,peeps!

Vou assumir que se você está acompanhando o tumblr do blog,sabe que eu sou a Marina,viciada em livros,blogueira,bla bla bla…

Estava fazendo muito de pouca coisa em meu sofá,leia-se - lendo meu e-book - e resolvi atualizar vocês sobre a minha leitura atual.

Estou lendo o livro “Touch of Power”,é o primeiro de uma nova série da autora Maria V. Snyder. SIM! O nome não é desconhecido por aqui,em 2011 dois livros da autora foram publicados no Brasil. Recentemente eu li “Estudos sobre Veneno” e AMEI! Então resolvi conferir seu novo trabalho.

Eu sei o que vocês querem saber….Sobre o que é “Touch of Power”?

É a estória de Avry,uma jovem de vinte anos que vive como fugitiva. Avry possui o poder da cura e os seus iguais são perseguidos por,supostamente,terem iniciado a febre que quase dizimou a população. Ela acaba sendo salva por Kerrick. Um guerreiro que vem procurando-a faz tempo. O que ele quer? O poder de Avry pode curar o rei de seu reino. Acontece que ela é única curadora viva e deve ser protegida. Mas assim como Kerrick existem outros que cobiçam a nossa heroína e seu precioso dom.

Depois desta péssima sinopse…

Ainda estou no início do livro,mas a leitura tem um ritmo bem acelerado e a ação já é bem forte na trama. Obviamente vai rolar um romance entre Avry e Kerrick. E eu estou gostando bastante da protagonista. Forte e ao mesmo tempo compassiva.

Pretendo virar a noite lendo.

Desejem-me sorte!

“Se olho para essas lajes, vejo nelas gravadas as suas feições! Em cada nuvem, em cada árvore, na escuridão da noite, refletida de dia em cada objeto, por toda a parte eu vejo a tua imagem! Nos rostos mais vulgares dos homens e mulheres, até as minhas feições me enganam com a semelhança. O mundo inteiro é uma terrível testemunha de que um dia ela realmente existiu, e eu a perdi para sempre.”
