I was tagged by Kathy @Pages Below the Vaulted Sky. I’m not quite sure how she came to think of me, during her pirate themed Thursday, but I take it as a compliment. Thanks, matey!
THE RULES:
- Thank the person who nominated you
- Post a quote for 3 consecutive days (1 quote for each day)
- Nominate three new bloggers each day
Since I can’t shut up about Madeline Miller’s Song of Achilles, I thought it fitting to make that my first quote!
This is one of my favourite quotes from SoA – I love how carefree both Achilles and Patroclus is at this time. But mostly it’s because of how much Madeline says, with those few lines.
What can I say, this was the first quote that popped into my head when I saw the tag. I do kind of regret it now, because I have no idea how to top it, or even equal it.
TODAY I TAG:
♥♥ The Book Inspector ♥♥ Melanie @MEL TO THE ANY ♥♥ LaRonda @FLYING PAPERBACKS ♥♥

Uugh, this scene really made me cry in hindsight…I was soooo rooting for them to actually be happy in the end….😭

OMG me too! It’s not like I didn’t know what Achilles destiny was, but I was so hoping for a loop whole or something. Which I guess there is, I just hadn’t expected it to end like that.

I’m glad you did 😀 And it did make me LOL because I was enjoying a Piña colada when I read it and I was like “is it the rom?” 😀 Aye, that “swear it” brings tears to my eyes each and every time. It’s so perfect I can barely stand it ❤

I know, everytime I read that part I’m like “be still my heart” – cheesy, but true! I should have finished with that one, lol. And you’re welcome 🙂

Thank you for tagging me! I’ve been looking for this book EVERYWHERE, but I either can’t find it, or when I do, it’s so expensive T_T I will read this book one day XD

Oh no… that sucks 😦 Have you looked for it second hand? But then again, that’s a slippery slope isn’t it, you never know if the last owner was a doodler or anything.
