Of course, his name is Paul...

Starting this as I watch the huge crashing waves along the rugged (southwest) Donegal coast while the power is out because of a big storm...feels appropriate

Happy 25th publication day to this book (+one day, because I misremebered the date) but here is to a quarter century!

If you catch me randomly speaking in a Russian accent...mind your business

It's time to see what is so special about this cottage I keep hearing about! Also, the way the audiobook narrator emphasizes the heated part of the title is a great touch

There have been multiple moments where I've gasped out loud or responded to the character's actions while listening. I live alone, so you know that's because I'm so caught off guard by a choice. Kudos to Laurent and Sam for eliciting that reaction!

LAURENT BINET, YOU DID NOT JUST HAVE COSIMO SAY THAT! That is beyond wild and I am dying of laughter

Every time I think I can't relate to Eli Rallo more, I relate to her even more...

Okay, we are trying this again, starting this off with a bang on a very special day: Maria's 486th birthday! I could not have timed that better, and that was actually an accident!

“I don’t feel like I look anything like a twenty-five-year-old should. And I have no fucking clue if I am a chicken with its head cut off or the daughter my parents raised to be a good girl. I just know I am trying, I am doing, somehow, through it all I am living.”

Eli Rallo...I am speechless.

“You’re a storyteller, so tell yourself the one that keeps your nervous system regulated.”

There are so many parts of this that feel like I'm reading my diary, as if it were written by someone else.

I turn 25 on the 25th (yes, my golden birthday), and I'm having feelings about it...this feels like a good time to be reading this!

Happy last first day of University to me!

"He's a yapper." Yes, he is...

The idea of hell having HR is deeply amusing to me

Now that's more like our Zizi!

And I figured out the twist about five seconds before the reveal and OMFG!! At least Yiren got to rage-bait a bunch of revenants first

Ash Song is becoming increasingly relatable with every crash-out. Also, Rui, I would still love you if you were a worm.

If anything happens to Zizi, I WILL riot!

The day has come where Karina, Madi & I are about to be very normal about Zizi

RG really decided to go that dark...

Interesting seasonal powers, and honestly, what Clara feels like a very apt metaphor for being a teenager!

3 things:

1) Spotify decided to blast Worm Ride from Dune 2 during the climax of the first major sex scene

2) Whenever I read WTA, I think Whatcom Transit Authority (the bus system in my old city)

3) I am unfortunately picturing Robert as Robert Reich (who does not deserve to be compared to Robert Douglass, so sorry RR)

Adding that m*****f*****s name to the list of the worst men that Britain has produced (Henry the 8th, Cromwell, Trevelyan, Nigel Farage, etc)
