i started this on...friday? maybe? yeah

ugh i weep

began a cheeky little reread 2 days ago btw

girl what

boo, hiss!

granny is the absolute GOAT

the fact that i am rediscovering this book that i only vaguely remember and the book itself is about polly rediscovering her vaguely-remembered (mostly forgotten) memories...guys it's actually kind of slay and genius maybe. ideal reading experience? perhaps! i dont know~! i'm along for the ride! why not!

reading this is kind of fun and nostalgic but if i remember the romance element correctly i'm gonna have to boo and hiss

parian in his houseplant era...slay

idk if i approve entirely but i'm not immune to THIS level of tension/yearning

finally THE CONVERSATION

dutifully trying to catch up to emily 🏃‍♀️

1. the gazette guy is kinda reminding me of taylor from gilmore girls 😭 he's not INCREDIBLY similar but something about a guy being deunk with power simply because he's in charge of a local gazette is so taylor-from-gilmore-girls to me
2. yay for the professor being feminist but it also would have been so funny if he and mary were BOTH Mulan-ing each other and the professor were also a woman

not since gilmore girls and stars hollow has there been such an endearing ensemble cast to accompany a lovable and witty/snarky main character

sorry guys is this just me or is there kind of a Vibe between islington and roland? please discuss in the comments, thanks

started on 3/30/26! (i have to put this note because it always annoys me when i forget to record my actual start time when i log goodreads midway through a book)

i'm glad this one leaves off in a nice spot but it is so ANNOYING that there are no ebooks for this series and i dont think my local libraries have book 4 so if i want to actually finish this reread i may need to just buy book 4 >:(

everyone say "hiiiiiiii disguised-argul"

argul is here! everyone say "hiiiiiiii, argul 🥰"

tanith lee, a pioneer in the "what if there was a gorgeously nonchalant prince whose golden hair shimmered in the sun, but also he kinda irredeemably sucks" field

claidi you are so Girl Of All Time

i'm trying to finish this in one night, wish me luck. anyway this new character is a rich asshole AND he's transphobic? guys let's kill him with our swords

it's actually so unfair that i can't recommend this book to murderbot simply because murderbot is a "fictional character" who "doesn't exist"

the audiobook is very good but switching to print was definitely the move

protestant work ethic mentioned
