audio this time

I think I've got serious book cravings

I didn't know Tim Paige's voice could do that
I never liked his narration style much, but this is fantastic. I'm really impressed.
And yes, it's Wilder again
Oh, how much I love this series still

Head wants reread
Head gets reread <3

Polar explorers, he thought he had read somewhere, would have their ships get stuck in the ice. They’d be in the exact same place, trapped, but they’d be lost. And that’s how this felt. Somers’s hand rested on the arm of the chair, brushing Hazard’s. That’s what this was: being lost and being stuck in the same goddamn place.

Ob ich schaffe, das Buch auszulesen...
Puh

I forgot how much I hated Ammon

*audio*

"Did you pack clean underwear?"

Emery, my love 😂🖤
Well, it's been a while

“Your Highness,” his aide said from the entrance, faintly disapproving. “The couch is for sitting, the bed is for lying, and the shuttleport bars are for whatever unholy combination of both you’re doing there.”

I'm very curious where this is going

I have no idea about where I am in the book
It's not my first time listening to book 1
I needed something to hurt
Yes, I know it will get worse with the next ones in the series
Gary Furlong brings them to life in such a brilliant way that sometimes I want to laugh at ridiculous things like "What do you know about badgers?"
It's just like that
I don't know if I have the energy for the whole series this time

Coming back to this once a year it seems

The weather is frying my brain, gotta try to stick to audiobooks or books I already know or just something else for some time
I waited a while for this and can't give it the attention it deserves at the moment (shame on me - and the sun)
But I'll be back later when my heart is in it again

It was supposed to be my falling asleep to audio for yesterday, but I'm pretty lost in it again
Love Greg Boudreaux's voice so much

And why would any sensible person spend all that time in a bar or a restaurant, around other people, when they could be safely at home, in their pajamas, on the couch, watching, for the fourteenth time, season two of Supernatural? (With no one talking to them.)

Maybe Dash is the most relatable character yet

Finally!
But: short story first

Good morning, sunshine.

Doyle has such a kind heart
He's so good for Larkin

Yes, I'm here again

Once, and only once, Hazard had gone to Big Biscuit. He had made Jeff go with him . They had been dating then— if you could call it dating when nobody knew, when you didn’t hold hands in public, when you didn’t kiss except in the basement with the door closed, if you could call that anything but a joke— and Hazard had insisted.

Even though I read it before, it's those small things in between that hurt

Welcome to Dashiell Dawson Dane’s bed-and-breakfast.

Adorable

I still don't know what his costume was supposed to be

"I'm so happy for you."

Are we at the throw the book against the wall stage again? (It would be my kindle, and no, I'm not doing that, but I want to)

“What if there isn’t more?” Deputy Bobby asked. “What if that’s all there is: you care about someone, and they’re a good person, and you want what’s best for them? What if the rest of it is something people made up for books and movies and Valentine’s cards?”

Hard relate
And what? It's a cozy, but it's still GA

Reading this on the side, just because

"Nobody should be held accountable for what they do between fourteen and twenty-one."

Don't ever tell Colt you said that 🤣

“We’re friends because we’re the Last Picks,” Fox said.

Not me melting here, nope

I had not thought about the name of the series
But I love it

“Never love or cherish or hope for anything,” Fox said in a broken voice. “Life is a trap.”

Fox has such Tean energy already
I think this will be interesting

"Oh my God, John-Henry!" Shaw's face opened in wonder. "I thought you were a dinosaur!"

It doesn't matter that I read most of these stories before, they still can surprise me
Like this particular shaw-y Shaw 🤣🤣

It's funny how some books are better when you put them off for a while

The Binder
Oh, poor Nico 🤣

Wtf?! Just. What the fuck?
Guess I'm not supposed to sleep until I finish this book?

I can't even comment a lot about this book
It just keeps me on my toes

“That’s you,” Shaw said to Emery. “You’re chuckle-fucks.”

Feels like North and Shaw get the darkest book because they can easily balance it out with their humor
