2. "Words give wings even to those that have been stamped upon, broken beyond all hope of repair." from The Mime Order by Samantha Shannon

3. "But fear and understanding are kindred things. Both involved the loss of the familiar and the terrible danger of knowledge." from The Mime Order by Samantha Shannon

4. "I'd rather die on an adventure than live standing still." from A Darker Shade of Magic by V.E. Schwab

5. "Things that look perfect on the surface are masking flaws." from The Truth About Us by Janet Gurtler

Review: Landline by Rainbow Rowell

Goodreads Summary:

Georgie McCool knows her marriage is in trouble;it has been in trouble for a long time. She still loves her husband, Neal, and Neal still loves her, deeply — but that almost seems beside the point now.

Maybe that was always beside the point.

Two days before they’re supposed to visit Neal’s family in Omaha for Christmas, Georgie tells Neal that she can’t go. She’s a TV writer, and something’s come up on her show; she has to stay in Los Angeles. She knows that Neal will be upset with her — Neal is always a little upset with Georgie — but she doesn't expect him to pack up the kids and go home without her.

When her husband and the kids leave for the airport, Georgie wonders if she’s finally done it. If she’s ruined everything.

That night, Georgie discovers a way to communicate with Neal in the past. It’s not time travel, not exactly, but she feels like she’s been given an opportunity to fix her marriage before it starts . . .

Is that what she’s supposed to do?

Or would Georgie and Neal be better off if their marriage never happened?

Of all the books I've read, this is my favourite so far. It's hard to explain why but it really stayed with me. It puts a smile on my face every time I remember it :)

 

Anyone else who's read Landline think this quote is memorable?
