Hot damn why did I wait so long to start this series. It’s the Fool forever for me, please.

SAMWISE FRIED-BEET YAM. phenomenal.

holy batman this started strong

Devouring this / not ready for end / love Moira Quirk’s every narration with my whole heart

“I’m not throwing him a ‘No Corpse Bride’ parade.”
This book is sooo much fun

“You [cracking old lady] aren’t going to bring that [enormous gun you’re cuddling] into the church are you?!”
“Of course, how else am I going to get it blessed.”

Understanding weaponisation (by and use to the powers that be) of “Respectability” is one of the many reasons I so love Leckie

These Emotion Checks are killing me, in the best way

I absolutely love this

My _whole_ soul KNEW they were going to recommend Casa Bonita

This is so weird and I love it so much

Absolutely love the narrator, especially on the 4th wall breaking rants. They’re perfect.

Just sitting here, continually shouting, MARGARET TAKE THE DOG. I’m not saying that’s the only reason I’m still reading, but justice for the dog is very, very important.

‘Snakes Are Born in the Dark’ is a new all-time favourite, and a medicine all sacred sites need

“I have half a mind to seek her out right now and demand she corrupt my daughter immediately.” - Top notch parenting ❤️

I am truly loving the premise this book kicks off with

Data Ghost first: needed more Martha Wells, and it delivered as ever and always

Lots of things to love so far, and what’s absolutely clinched me? Bones for clothes. Gets my Ninth House heart every time.

Sometimes* I just need alley possums and enrichment activities.
(* always. I always need those things)

In the same way that some authors do playlists for their books, this one should have a tasting list and - most most most ideally - a collection of the chocolates on offer for purchase (internationally for me 😅) because my gods do I just want to taste everything right now immediately.

Raccoons, a (non magical) horse self appointing herself a war horse, and a tavern called the Dramatic Hyena. I fucking love it all.

All I know is the title and that’s all I need to know to start this book.

The exquisite descriptions of all the Iranian desserts is killing me and I wouldn’t have it any other way (gods I’m hungry)

It’s amazing how different re-readjng this is when I’m not in exhaustive active burnout

Also the spren as so damn good and funny and snarky and I love it forever

Oh look, Here Comes the Guillotine has me reading another IRA book

Maya, you fucking ultimate champion

Great Cosmere re-read complete and on to the new!!!

Great Cosmere re-read complete and on to the new!!!

Places I have burst into real, out loud laughter while listening to this over the last day: in my house alone, on a packed commuter train, while washing dishes, sitting silently while my partner was attempting to nap, and while walking into a very anxiety inducing visa appointment in which I was not at all in a generally laughing mood. That’s how much it got me.

“If I am, is it the sexy kind of trouble or the ‘fighting over stale bread with the possums’ kind of trouble” - possums are truly under-utilised and I am enjoying this immensely
