30 Day Tamora Pierce Challenge: Day Nine
Favourite Book: Trickster’s Choice, though it’s sort of tied with Briar’s Book. Trickster’s Choice has been my favourite Tamora Pierce book since I read it, but Briar’s book was my favourite book, full stop, for a great deal of my childhood.

Purple Blues: Poke →
floranella: Some people walk around with tears poking the bottom of their eyeballs. Strangely enough, they are the people who are least likely to cry. You see, they have become accustomed to the poking, and have learned the exact amount of blinks it takes to soothe the prickling. They are the ones with…
