I can't share my favorite line cause it's a spoiler.
But here's one I like a lot, where a formerly antagonistic character tells off someone else who's badmouthing the MC:
"I’ll take her fire over your pride any day.”

These are my fantasy shelves, which I've pruned a little recently. I've probably only read about half of those.

4.5/5 🥼 for Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein
This being a del Toro film, I went in expecting one of two things:
1. A very faithful adaptation of the book
2. Victor Frankenstein and his creation end up in bed together
I'm glad it was the first one, mostly.

Nothing is more relaxing (for me) than alone time. Just leave me be so I can catch up on reading books, watching movies, playing games, building gunpla, etc.

Anything you can use to jot down notes on the fly. Never know when an idea will pop into your head. Use an app on your phone, carry around a pen & Moleskine, anything. Don't run the risk of "I'll write that down later.".

Last read was getting caught up on Saintess Summons Skeletons.
Current read is my own book, The Ember's Fall, as I make another round of edits.
Next read will probably be Project Hail Mary. I need to get to that before the movie comes out.

Inspiring authors, where do I start?
Probably the ones I've read the most of. R.L. Stine, Stephen King, and Naomi Novik, for starters. I'll throw Jack Campbell out there too, cause I'm a sucker for space operas.

I started my WIP about a year ago, but I've also ran D&D games for about eight years.
Part of what made me start the books was realizing "I've written several books worth of text for our campaigns World Anvil."

Janine's brave, but not unrealistically so. She'll put herself in harm's way for others, especially if she's witnessing abuse (as a former victim). But that past trauma can resurface and push her toward her breaking point.

Oh boy, what a rabbit hole this prompt is.
There's a lot of guilt and regret in The Burning Veil, both of those things are among the MC's main defining traits, but I can't really go into detail because of spoilers.
