Friend: So do you really only read books for the plot?
Me:...
Audrey Rose Wadsworth: "I was determined to be both pretty and fierce, as Mother had said I could be. Just because I was interested in a man’s job didn’t mean I had to give up being girly. Who defined those roles anyhow?"
Claire Beauchamp: "One dictum I had learned on the battlefields of France in a far distant war: You cannot save the world, but you might save the man in front of you, if you work fast enough."
Juliette Ferrars: "Water that never moves." I say to him. "Its fine for a little while. You can drink from it and it'll sustain you. But if it sits too long it goes bad. It grows stale. It becomes toxic." I shake my head. "I need waves. I need waterfalls. I want rushing currents."
Inej Ghafa: "We meet fear. We greet the unexpected visitor and listen to what he has to tell us. When fear arrives, something is about to happen."
Feyre Archeron: "I was not a pet, not a doll, not an animal. I was a survivor, and I was strong. I would not be weak, or helpless again I would not, could not be broken. Tamed."
Aelin Galathynius: "She was Aelin Ashryver Galathynius—and she would not be afraid."
Katy Swartz: "Words were the most powerful tool. Simple and so often underestimated. They could heal. They could destroy. And I needed to use my words now."
Jude: "What could I become if I stopped worrying about death, about pain, about anything? If I stopped trying to belong? Instead of being afraid, I could become something to fear."
Vasilisa: "All my life, I have been told ‘go’ and ‘come.’ I am told how I will live, and I am told how I must die. I must be a man’s servant and a mare for his pleasure, or I must hide myself behind walls and surrender my flesh to a cold, silent god. I would walk into the jaws of hell itself, if it were a path of my own choosing. I would rather die tomorrow in the forest than live a hundred years of the life appointed me."
Me: ...The characters are pretty cool too
I love how Eurovision is always a week after the Met Gala so random european singers put every single american celebrity to shame by wearing cooler clothes with 1/10 of the budget
expectation at age 13: will grow up to become the extroverted, witty, and enchanting elizabeth bennet
reality at age 22: has grown up to become the introverted, awkward, and stressed out fitzwilliam darcy
I ship stuff on shows to fill the void of love that I don’t get in real life. It also is a distraction from my depression but that’s another thing
What a actor !!!
Happy 39th Birthday, Michael Fassbender! (April 2, 1977)

So, I’ve seen a lot of people ask what order they should read the ToG series. And I’ll admit, it’s a bit confusing. So I hope this helps:
Throne of Glass was published in 2012 and is the first book
Crown of Midnight was published in 2013 and is the second book
Heir of Fire was published in 2014 and is the third book
The Assassins Blade was published in 2014 and is the prequel to the whole series
Queen of Shadows was published in 2015 and is the fourth book
Empire of Storms was published in 2016 and is the fifth book
Tower of Dawn is being published on September 5, 2017 (according to Good Reads and assuming it does not change) and is the sixth book
Throne of Glass Book 7 is slated to be published in Spring of 2018 and is the final instalment
TAB is the prequel novella to the entire series. BUT IT DOES NOT NEED TO BE READ FIRST. You can read the series before you read TAB. HOWEVER, I highly recommend reading TAB before reading QoS simply because characters come back that were in TAB.
While they are re-introduced in QoS, as if they are new, reading TAB gives you a better idea on who the characters are and what they mean to Celaena’s journey as a whole.
ToD is basically Throne of Glass Book 6. It is not a continuation of the story, but it is what happens simultaneously to Chaol while the events of EoS are taking place. According to what SJM has said, it is IMPERITVIE to read ToD in order to understand what happens in Throne of Glass Book 7.
Whew, well I hope this makes sense and that I helped you guys.
Have fun reading :)
