Also ich hab auf Libba's LiveJournal - Seite (hier ~> http://libba-bray.livejournal.com/) ein paar Ausschnitte gesehn. (:
Sie gibt nie an, wer das sagt oder in welchem Kapitel das spieLt.
Viiel Spaß (:
"The London fog envelops us in its murkiness. Figures emerge at first like ghosts, like something that belongs to the mist, before taking on form--top hats, coats, bonnets. It is an effect as thrilling as anything conjured by the Wolfson Brothers' magic lantern."
“A terrible knocking has me awake and not at all happy about it. Rubbing sleep from my eyes, I creep downstairs. It’s Tom who is making such a racket. He’s returned in a lively mood; in fact, he enters the drawing room singing. It is an unnatural occurrence, like watching a dog ride a bicycle.”
"The wall that separates the Borderlands from the Winterlands is a fearsome construction. It stretches as tall as the dome on St. Paul's Cathedral and runs in either direction as far as the eye can see. In the gloom, it appears to glow.
I put my hand to the tall pilings. They are smooth.
'Bones,' the fairy whispers."
"With seemingly no effort at all, Croestus swoops me up onto his back. As we ride toward the forest, I clutch his waist for dear life. Whatever the reason for this visit, it can't be good. Down below in the river, I see that Gorgon steams ahead, keeping pace with us. No, this isn't good at all."
"You must build the fire," Mother Elena says. "Burn him. Burn everything."
Felicity greets me warmly. "Happy Easter! Wasn't it an interminable sermon? Honestly, I can't see why we have to bother with church at all. Hello, Simon," she says, deliberately abandoning proper etiquette. "Jaunty hat. Did you take it from a bandstand?"
"A woman's face presses against the surface, and I stumble back, gasping. Her features emerge from the murky deep of the well. The eyes and mouth are closed as in death. Her face is bleached of all color. Her hair floats on the water beneath the ice like the rays of a dark sun."
"We offer more of the apple to Freya, who gobbles it greedily. Kartik strokes her mane and she softens under his touch, nuzzling him with her nose. Around us the night creatures have their say. We are surrounded by a symphony of crickets and frogs. Neither of us feels the need to speak, and I suppose that is one of the qualities I find comforting in Kartik. We can be alone together."
"She turns down the last lamp, and the room is cast in shadows again. Brigid closes the door and locks it. As we travel the stairs, she speaks to me of what foods and drink make for pleasant sleep, but I'm not really listening to her. My ears are tuned to the dark below us, where I hear that soft scratching and the faintest of cackles."
The water nymph's webbed hand caresses my ankle. With a gasp, I shake it loose. Her colored scales remain on my skin in a jeweled handprint.
"You'll not take my skin without a fight," I warn, and my words echo in the cave's emptiness.
"It is hopeless. I shall never curtsy without falling. I shall lie sprawled upon the gleaming floors of Buckingham Palace like a disgraceful stain of a girl, my nose resting upon the boot of the Queen. I shall be the talk of the season, whispered about behind open fans. No doubt every man will avoid me like typhus."
"For my part, I find that their minds are as corseted as their waists, with conversations limited to parties, dresses, and the misfortunes or shortcomings of others. I should rather take my chances with the lions of Rome's ancient Colosseum than endure another tea chat with the likes of them. At least the lions are honest about their desire to eat you and make no effort to hide it."

Re: Quotes.
uuuah, hier hab ich noch ein paar von euch
"I stand on the narrow sill, holding tightly to the frame, my body
bowing out. And then I let go. My arms transform into the shiny
blue-black wings of a raven, and I'm soaring high above Spence. It is
exhilarating. I could live inside this power forever."
Aus der gLeichen Szene:
"I push through the door, and Kartik takes in the sight of me--face flushed, hair a ruin. 'Gemma? What has happened?'
'You're
dreaming,' I say, and his eyelids flutter under my persuasion. When he
opens his eyes again, he is in that twilight land between waking and
sleep.
'Why didn't you come to me?' I ask.
His voice is faraway. 'I'm a danger to you.'
'Well, I am tired of the safe. Kiss me,' I say. I take a step forward. 'Please.'
uiii ... ! aber irgendwie kapier ich das nicht ... träumt sie oder was? aber dann würde sie ja nicht zu Kartik sagen, er träume ... kA ... ich bin dumm ... >.> ... x) oder einfach nur schon müde ^^
& noch eines ... :
My eyes are heavy. I could sleep for days. We pass the graveyard on our
left. Crows perch on the headstones and just before my eyes shut, I
think I see a faint glimmer. The crows disappear into it, and
everything on the hill goes dark and still as death.
VieL Spaß damit

Hört sich äußerst vielversprechend an!

Re: Quotes.
sooo ... das vom 25. Dez. (und leider auch das letzte ... ): ... aber ich denke & hoffe, dass sie heute (also am Erscheinungsdatum schon noch ein seehr, seehr wichtiges Zitat reinstelLen wird ... naja, mal sehn ... )
"When my dreams find me, they are disquieting. A pretty lady in a
lavender dress and hat races through London streets thick with fog. Her
ginger hair falls loosely about her frightened face. She beckons me to
follow, but I cannot keep pace; my feet are as heavy as lead and I
can't see. The cobblestones are coated with paper adverts for a
spectacle of some sort. I reach for one: Dr. Theodore Van
Ripple--Illusionist Extraordinaire!"
Dr Theodore Van Ripple?! Oha! xD ... was mag das wohL bedeuten??
