“Still, she would not have married a man she knew full well did not love her, had there seemed any possible hope of a future with one who did. A man she had loved with every fragment of her broken heart.”

I just had to use two quotes today, because this one short line one made me feel like it simply had to be posted.

“Don’t allow any man to treat you as less than you are.” & “But I don’t think any parent can expect to escape this life without disappointing his child at some point. And the same could be said the other way around. We all of us fall short now and again, and disappoint someone dear to us, or ourselves. Thankfully, my parents have always been the forgiving sort.” ~ The Dancing Master by Julie Klassen

” Though she had seen them together on many ocassions, this afternoon she sensed a new, palpable tension on the bowls court between the King and Thomas Wyatt. Jane was sure that the new embroidered declaration slashed across the Kings chest was only one example of royal response to it. The rivalry for Anne Boleyn has taken a bitter turn, and Anne played the kings declared refusal to choose her over the Queen like a champion, openly flirting with both of them until the Kings face was white with rage.” I, Jane pg 191 by Diane Haeger

This one is part of my read it before I see it challenge that I committed to several years ago. They are making so many movies and shows from books these days, more then usual or maybe it’s just me?

“After Will Somers dutifully brought the king to tears of laughter, by ridiculing each of the men closest around them with pithy little barbs, the spindly court fool bowed to the king and made way for Thomas Wyatt to enter the center of the arranged banquet tables for his turn at the entertainment. ”

“I have always been a reader; I have read at every stage of my life, and there has never been a time when reading was not my greatest joy. And yet I cannot pretend that the reading I have done in my adult years matches in its impact on my soul the reading I did as a child. I still believe in stories. I still forget myself when I am in the middle of a good book. Yet it is not the same. Books are, for me, it must be said, the most important thing; what I cannot forget is that there was a time when they were at once more banal and more essential than that. When I was a child, books were everything. And so there is in me, always, a nostalgic yearning for the lost pleasure of books. It is not a yearning that one ever expects to be fulfilled.”― Diane Setterfield, The Thirteenth Tale

A book that was long favored by many of my friends. I noticed that I often have a habit of staying away from books when they first come hot on the trend list. I am not sure why that is…this one was even given to me as a gift by a friend to encourage me to read it. I set it aside…over and over. No particular reason why, lol. This last week was a busy so I did not read as much as I had hoped so you get another quote from this one. All that being said I can say that I am kicking myself for taking so long to get around to this book and enduring many I told you so’s.


“All morning I struggled with the sensation of stray wisps of one world seeping through the cracks of another. Do you know the feeling when you start reading a new book before the membrane of the last one has had time to close behind you? You leave the previous book with ideas and themes — characters even — caught in the fibers of your clothes, and when you open the new book, they are still with you.”
― Diane Setterfield, The Thirteenth Tale
