quote of the day
Maggie Stiefvater's Shiver, 13th chapter (Sam, +7C), rough translation from Finnish:
I was like a bleeding womb where seeds of conscious thought lived in [descriptive stuff that has nothing to do with bleeding wombs]--
I can't believe someone thought that was a good simile to put into a book. It doesn't even make any sense! Bleeding womb like having your periods or like having a miscarriage? And WTF is the stuff about frosty forests and changing seasons after that? Also, how would the POV guy know what a bleeding womb feels like? I mean, what?
