It’s the final day, and a final thank you to Irene of Books and Hot Tea for tagging me on this one. It’s been more difficult than I had anticipated – finding those perfect words. But at least I’ve gotten to revisit some of my favourite books!
So, one last time, here are the rules:
- Thank the person who nominated you
- Post three different quotes in three consecutive days
- Nominate three new bloggers each day
To end, I’ve chosen an eerie quote from Angela Carter’s short story, “The Lady of the House of Love.” It’s been published in a collection of her works, The Bloody Chamber.
She herself is a haunted house. She does not possess herself; her ancestors sometimes come and peer out of the windows of her eyes and that is very frightening.
A sorrowful and grim passage that well represents the tone of Carter’s fairytale retellings. I recommend this collection to anyone who has outgrown fairytales as told by Disney, and is longing to return to their darker, more powerful, roots.
Thanks for reading!
Today I nominate Friendly Fairy Tales, ronovanwrites, and C.M. Rininger. Feel free to join in, or pass.
Beyond the Threshold 
Dark and powerful quote. I appreciate the nomination, but I participated in the 3 day, 3 quote in the past. I put up three quotes from Midsummer Night’s Dream, which you’ll find on my site if you search for Shakespeare. It was fun, but now I’m hard at work on my novel. I’m going to keep going with that. I hope you have a magical day! XOXO

Thanks. My writing process could be described as floundering in molasses while blind-folded at the moment. LOL

Wow! Um- I dunno. I might do it. I don’t have a lot of time to dedicate to rummaging through books and websites. But, uh, thanks!
