Love being loved

 “I grew up on the corner of Hickory and Taft — two ordinary streets that held my whole childhood. So imagine my surprise when those same names appeared in one of my favorite series, The House of Night. It felt like the world I lived in and the world I escaped into had brushed against each other for a moment, reminding me that magic shows up in the smallest, most familiar places.”

“Hickory and Taft were just street signs to most people, but they were the map of my early life. Seeing them echoed in The House of Night felt like a secret nod from the universe — a reminder that the places we come from have a way of following us into the stories we love.”
