"In a strictly objective sense, I understand how I got here, but leaving my experience at that would be a disservice to the utterly bizarre events that just unfolded."

Happy July/ New Summer bookmark Challenge!
I'm committed to:
1) Starting the Wheel of Time series
2) Reading "The God of the Woods"
3) Reading/ Knocking "Stardust" By Neil Gaiman off my TBR (Because it's been on my TBR here since 2009)
4) Returning to the Cosmere with "Yumi and the Nightmare Painter" By Brandon Sanderson.
5) Getting my Romantasy on with "Rites of the Starling" By Devney Perry

What are your plans?

This Rollercoaster makes no sense.

WHAT A WILD RIDE!

"After all, fun was lovely and kisses were sweet, but tenure was forever. And birds were her only friends."

"a sweet, heart-shaped face—although it was also a rather sweaty face, and currently scowling at him as if she’d like to stab him with her furled parasol. He wished she would. Pretty was nice; naughty was ever so much better."

I'm only 40 pages in and the banter is unmatched!
