Mati en sheva yelu. This action will have no echo. It means we won't repeat the same mistakes, that we won't continue to do harm.
Inej, Crooked Kingdom by Leigh Bardugo
You know you've got a problem when the librarian says, "just one? Because you usually get a few just want to make sure you're feeling alright." but good to know someone's looking out for me

I read past my bedtime
Releasing April 11, 2017 from Penguin / Putnam!
Khosa is Given to the Sea, a girl born to be fed to the water, her flesh preventing a wave like the one that destroyed the Kingdom of Stille in days of old. But before sheās allowed to dance ā an uncontrollable twitching of the limbs that will carry her to the shore in a frenzy ā she must produce an heir. Yet the thought of human touch sends shudders down her spine that not even the sound of the tide can match.
Vincent is third in line to inherit his throne, royalty in a kingdom where the old linger and the young inherit only boredom. When Khosa arrives without an heir he knows his father will ensure she fulfills her duty, at whatever cost. Torn between protecting the throne he will someday fill, and the girl whose fate is tied to its very existence, Vincentās loyalty is at odds with his heart.
Dara and Donil are the last of the Indiri, a native race whose dwindling magic grows weaker as the island country fades. Animals cease to bear young, creatures of the sea take to the land, and the Pietra ā fierce fighters who destroyed the Indiri a generation before ā are now marching from their stony shores for the twinās adopted homeland, Stille.
Witt leads the Pietra, their army the only family he has ever known. The stone shores harbor a secret, a growing threat that will envelop the entire land ā and he will conquer every speck of soil to ensure the survival of his people.
The tides are turning in Stille, where royals scheme, Pietrans march, and the rising sea calls for its Given.

The idea that you could rethink the thing you'd always a thought you wanted and change your plan-it was almost a revolutionary concept. That you could choose what would make you happy, not succesful.

I have a bookmark problem. I take most of them from the kids section at the library. Most are freebies. Not pictured: Big Bang "that's my spot" Sheldon bookmark.
