“Unregarded, then, and off the leash, she lit a cigarette, and dragged a lungful of sweet poison into her system. Like most pleasures, this one diminished the more you indulged in it.”

I read this quote last night, and I just had to share it.

#bookquotes #books #TheApothecaryDiaries #leadership

"Some said the real difference between a foolish ruler and a brilliant one was that a foolish ruler thought the people were inexhaustible, while a brilliant one realized that they had their limits."

Maomao, p. 193, The Apothecary Diaries, Vol. 2 (Light Novel)

Taken from "The Depths of a Soul: a story of Dainu" by JG Duke
(This is book 8/10 in the series)

#excerpt #quotes #hope #OneMoreTime #books #epicfantasy #bookquotes #AStoryOfDainu #writingcommunity #indieauthor #fantasy #booksky #📚💙

Excerpt from book "The Depths of a Soul" by JG Duke. Black background on a white page reads:
“Maybe we should have quit while we were ahead. But that's what addiction is, isn't it? The thrill; the joy of beating the odds; the rush from pushing yourself beyond what should be possible. It's impressive how far you can go on nothing but the remnants of a dream- the shallow, empty echoes of hope. One more time, we tell ourselves, just one more time...”

Book 47 of 2025 was The Last Outlaw by Lee Hall. I loved the blending of genres between old western and horror! Also, based on the last chapter I think this is a prequel to a series. Pick it up here
