It's funny, the first thing that popped into my head wasn't from a book, but from a song by Jeff Buckley called "Lover You Should Have Come Over". Contemplative, heartbreaking, and angsty - just like I like it. The lines I remembered were:

"It's never over, my kingdom for a kiss upon her shoulder.
It's never over, all my riches for her smiles when I slept so soft against her.
It's never over, all my blood for the sweetness of her laughter.
It's never over, she's the tear that hangs inside my soul forever."

I mean, wow. Wow. Right? =)(less)

Finding Comfort in 2020: Xio’s Faves

Hello, my lovelies! As you know, I try to post my yearly faves at the bottom of the calendar year. 2020 was a challenge like no other, as you are no doubt aware. I found myself revisiting older faves, just looking for that sense of familiarity in a time when nothing seemed familiar.





That said, I did manage to get to a number of new goodies that instantly landed on my list.

Quotes by Xio Axelrod  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Some books are like chewing gum. They have just enough flavour to sate you for an hour or so. Others are like gourmet meals. Meticulously crafted with complex flavours that - while exciting during consumption - leave only a vague memory behind. The best books are like old recipes, passed down through generations. They stick with you long after the last bite. You want to return to them again and again, because they become a part of who you are. I want to write those.”
Xio Axelrod

“I am under you.
How could I be so wrong?
The years have not scrubbed you from my veins.
I am under you.
Though it's been too long
Since you almost kissed me in the rain.
I am under you.
Strange to ever think that I was free.
I am under you, and I hope that you're not over me.”
Xio Axelrod, The Girl with Stars in Her Eyes

“I'll answer any damn question you want. But don't be disappointed when the answer turns out to be I was hungry, I was tired, or I was bored.”
Xio Axelrod, The Girl with Stars in Her Eyes
