Reboot (p. 13)

All the Butterflies in the World (Kindle 2%)
   - Rodney Jones

I had naturally assumed that time travel would be like any other kind of travel, everything neat and linear, point C arriving after point B, and point B after point A. But after all I'd been through, I decided maybe it was time to loosen my grip on reason.

Jailbird (p. 167)
   - Kurt Vonnegut

The Iron Queen (p. 131)
     - Julie Kagawa

I didn't see any falling stars, but if I had, I would've wished my dad be kept safe, that Ash and Puck would survive the coming war, and that somehow, we all would come out of this okay. If wishes were horses. I knew better. Fairy godmothers didn't exist, and even if they did, they wouldn't wave a magic want and make everything better.
