less than halfway through this and I'm already enchanted by the amount of savage lesbian energy on display. also the scene where a new cop is absolutely eviscerated. 10/10

I loved Fern in Taskmaster — on episode one I turned to my partner and said "oh, she's autistic for sure" and when I saw this book I yelled "I WAS RIGHT" at him. It's so nice to hear her narrate (I'm listening to the audiobook). I got diagnosed later last year (I'm almost 30) so hearing from adult autistic women has been extremely helpful for me.

I started reading this when I was on episode 5 of the show because I was enjoying the show so much and I knew there were only 8 episodes and I wanted more My Lady Jane content lmao

oh no Emily Henry is going to make me cry again isn't she (and I am going to love it aren't I)

I love a casually Jewish protagonist (i.e. her Jewishness has nothing to do with the plot but it's mentioned in the same way Christmas or Easter or Church would be in most books, just as settings or parts of her history/family). This one even includes a mention of her parents being part of a Reconstructionist community! We love to see it!!!

Looking forward to being emotionally devastated by Miss Rebecca Serle once again

Okay this book feels like a warm hug. I'm switching between physical book and audiobook and the narrator is also really great. 10/10

Okay I know I'm only 27% through this but it's so good! I love the characters and the writing style and the concept!!!

I have beef with Adrienne Young's editor. Why am I reading this and editing in my head? Here's a sentence from an early chapter: "A cloud of pigeons descended on the deck as the crowd thinned, scrambling underfoot for whatever crumbs had been left behind, I pulled my hood up over my hat and the metal staircase rocked as I took the steps down to the dock." Like?? Babe please get a new editor.

Reading anything by VE Schwab (but especially anything in the Shades of Magic universe) is like a breath of fresh air. A cold drink on a hot day. It's just good. I missed it.

I haven't read this since the first time, around when it came out. Is it a little cringe now? Absolutely. But I'm having fun.

To me, this book is about foxes and Hava is simply a side character. And honestly I love it.

Well that escalated quickly
