If anyone in the office is curious re: why I'm not eating pie later, it's because of this "no sweets" challenge I'm doing for one of my favorite nonprofits! If my resisting the home-baked goodness inspires you, feel free to chip in (and support homeless youth in SF as a bonus!) at https://atthecrossroads.org/campaign/....

I feel like Oyeyemi is significantly less invested in writing satisfying endings than I am in reading them. Not a criticism (or at least not as much of one as that might sound like), just an observation.

Strong opener, would have liked a bit more conflict between the team before the inevitable eldritch horror consumed them all but well crafted

Surprisingly easy to put down, considering that I like the characters and premise...

Not easy reading, but enjoying the details and perspective. Meaty enough to reread, tho I'm not sure I'll take the time to do so soon :(

It was a bit slower to get into (all the teen-talk!!) but considering I missed my muni stop by exactly 10 blocks last night, I'd say I'm hooked now.

What's that word for when your eyes are bigger than your reading ability and you end up halfway through five books at once but still find yourself starting another one before you finish any? I think it's german.
