01

Warbreaker
Brandon Sanderson
Gollancz

“She’s only seventeen years old,” Llarimar said. “I can’t imagine being married to the God King at her age.”

“I can’t imagine you being married to the God King at any age, Scoot,” Lightsong said. Then he pointedly cringed. “Actually, yes I can imagine it, and the dress looks painfully inelegant on you. Make a note to have my imagination flogged for its insolence in showing me that particular sight.”

“I’ll put it in line right behind your sense of decorum, Your Grace,” Llarimar said dryly.

“Don’t be silly,” Lightsong said, taking a sip of wine. “I haven’t had one of those in years.”

02

Undercover Bromance
Lyssa Kay Adams
Headline Eternal

She tilted her head. “I admit, a man washing dishes is definetely one of my fantasies.”

“Fantasies? As in plural?”

“I’m a normal woman. Of course it’s plural.”

“I wouldn’t mind hearing about some of those.”

“I don’t want to scandalize you.”

He turned around and dried his hands. The lady gesture conjured dirty thoughts. “Please, by all means, scandalize me,” he drawled.

03

The Dancing Girls of Lahore
Louise Brown
Harper Perennial

A raped girl is bad for the family: it shows that they can’t protect their women; that they have little social standing; and that they’re not respectable. It’s worse for the victim because once a woman, or a girl—or a boy—is known as the target of a rape she becomes so despised, so shamed, so worthless that she turns into public property. No one is raped only once.

04

O Feiticeiro de Terramar
Ursula K. Le Guin
Morro Branco

Todo poder é um só em sua fonte e seu fim, acho. Anos e distâncias, estrelas e velas, água, vento e feitiçaria, a arte nas mãos de um homem e a sabedoria na raiz de uma árvore: todos surgem juntos. Meu nome, o seu e o verdadeiro nome do sol, de uma fonte de água ou de uma criança que ainda não nasceu, tudo isso são sílabas da grande palavra que lentamente está sendo pronunciada pelo brilho das estrelas. Não existe outro poder nem outro nome.

05

Ordinary Dogs
Eileen Battersby
Faber and Faber

She called Bilbo ‘beautiful child’ and told me about a collie she had had more than seventy years early. She said she had never forgotten that dog and, when he had died, she remembered telling her mother that she had wanted to die with him.

06

The History of the World in Fifty Dogs
Mackenzi Lee
Abrams Image

At last, when they reached the summit of the mountain, Indra, the king of the gods and king of heaven, ascended in his chariot to meet King Yudhisthira and invited him to come to heaven.

“Sure,” said King Yudhisthira. “So long as the dog comes too.”

But Indra didn’t seem to understand that all dogs go to heaven, and refused entry.

To which King Yudhisthira replied, “K, bye.”

07

A Princesinha
Frances Hodgson Burnett
Wish

— Quero que ela não pareça uma boneca — disse Sara. — Quero que pareça alguém que escute quando eu falar com ela. O problema das bonecas, papai… — e inclinou a cabeça para o lado, refletindo enquanto falava — … o problema das bonecas é que parece que elas nunca escutam.

08

Within the Sanctuary of Wings
Marie Brennan
Tor Books

If there is any conclusion to my tale (apart from my death, which I hope is yet a good way off), it is that the heart of it will never truly end. Although my memoirs are of course the story of my life and career, they are also a story of discovery: of curiosity, and investigation, and learning, not only regarding dragons but many other topics. I take comfort in knowing that others will carry this tale forward, continually unfolding new secrets of the world in which we live, and hopefully using that understanding more often for good than for ill. And so I leave it in your hands, gentle reader. Mind you carry it well.
