BOOK! QUOTE! SHARE!

Sometimes when I'm reading, I run across a sentence or passage that just makes me stop because there is something that is so forceful or beautiful or funny or poignant or strange about it.  And I like to share because no one reads exactly the same books as I do and when I share the sentence or passage , it's kind of like sharing the book.

Here's one from today:

For the first time in his young life, the Prince felt a fierce kind of happiness, rimmed with light.

That's from The Orphan's Tales: In the Night Garden by Catherynne M. Valente.

I've just started the book, but so far it's strange and shimmery and kind of like an Arabian Nights for the modern reader. I like her prose, it's glowy and weird, if at times awkward. 

Alright, done sharing for now.

I caught a meme

( What book am I? )

Apparently I'm like a louder, more armadillo loving Jesus?
