Paper Valentine by Brenna Yovanoff
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Most importantly, I’m hoping to finish the book I’m currently reading: Paper Valentine by Brenna Yovanoff. After that I plan to read Orfe by Cynthia Voigt, and it would be really cool if I could finish that too, but I won’t get my heart set on that since Paper Valentine has been slow going.
If I get stuck during PV or Orfe, I’ve also got a couple other books I’m currently working on, Wives and Daughters by Elizabeth Gaskell and The Truth About Forever by Sarah Dessen, which I can read a bit on as a palette cleanser.
Wish me luck!

verb
They didn’t think about the fact that it was pretty much falling down, that it was three stories and drafty, shockingly expensive to heat in the winter and, with central air not yet invented when the house was built, almost impossible to cool in the summer. They were ensorcelled with the place.

Just spent a stupid amount of time putting together a playlist based on the mixes in the book; this better be worth it!
Here it is!

adjective
She walks through the house like a ghost. Sometimes she thinks she would be better off without a body. Better off floating and diaphanous and thin.

Ahhh, the Greeks
dead longer than America has even existed
and still invading our lives with their myths.
