Status Updates From The Scorpio Races

Listening to the audiobook this time around. 🎧 The November weather right now matches the story's setting perfectly!

a little late this year but happy november and annual reread of my fave

I’m gonna be so sad when this book is over

"It is the first day of November and so, today, someone will die"

I used to do an annual re-read of this book, and I haven't for many years, so I'm really enjoying going back to Thisby and seeing what stands out to me this time around

I do wish the other races were explained. It’s called the Scorpio races so why is THIS race the most important? What is the purpose of the other races? Why couldn’t Puck ride in one of those? Why does no one mention them until the day of the races? Not a perfect book but I still love it.

The barn scene was very horror like to me, creepy and scary! Thank goodness the cat is fine

“sean kendrick…a reminder of what the horses mean to the island — a bridge between what we are and that thing about thisby that we all want but can’t seem to touch”

when place becomes an entity

“what about you, kate connolly? puck connolly?”
“the way he says it, i feel certain he misremembered intentionally, because he liked the weight of the words when he said my name twice.”

this line always makes me smile <3
