Clearly, since I’m on book 11, I’m really enjoying the Alex Verus series. However, one thing I still don’t understand is why Alex insists on deadnaming Deleo. I get that she’s completely unhinged and that he’s trying to connect with who she was before everything went wrong, but still. It bothers me.

Ugh, I’m only continuing this because two of my other books are not ready at the library yet. But the protagonist, and I use the “pro” loosely, is a pick-me, desperate, non-girls girl. Why do women write other women like this? It’s awful. Hopefully she learns some sort of lesson and gets better because I’m only about 1/3rd of the way in.

OK, when my partner, my sister, one of my mothers, and a friend whose book taste I trust are all raving about the same book… I listen. Three chapters in and I’m fully hooked. So far: extremely good, no notes.
