Finished reading: Season of Love by Helena Greer π
I love it so much. Sweet, hot but closed doors, I really do wish Carrigan’s was a real place, that Noelle and Miriam were real and I could be friends with them. Highly recommend.
ππ Read …and a partridge in a pear tree (19913 words) by strangehunger.
This is a beautiful and perfect Gideon the Ninth mall employee AU. Gideon works at Spencer Gifts. Harrow works at Hot Topic. And my boy Palamedes works at B&N, of course.
Currently reading: Season of Love by Helena Greer π
I’ve read 141 pages in this book since I picked it up yesterday afternoon.
π I’m sure there are a lot of things I’ll want to tell you about Season of Love but the first is that there’s a Veronica Mars reference and a shout-out to the coolest member of the Babysitters Club on the same page.
Finished reading: Raybearer by Jordan Ifueko π
Finished this in 2 or 3 days. I was drawn to it because of the cover & buzz. I stayed in it because of the magic of connection & my love of kind teen girls with a sense of justice. Gorgeous, evocative writing, highly recommend.

Finished reading: Rule of Wolves by Leigh Bardugo π
I loved it so much. I know Leigh Bardugo is done with the Grishaverse for a while but I hope not for always.

“None of this had been fated; none of it foretold… They were just the people who had shown up and managed to survive.
But maybe that was the trick of it: to survive, to dare to stay alive, to forge your own hope when all hope had run out.” Leigh Bardugo, Rule of Wolves
Woodland Goth: The Goblins of Labyrinth by Brian Froud π
Yep, I created a whole Woodland Goth bookshelf. Goblins of Labyrinth is a collectible. I don’t want it to get lost in my massive want-to-read list.
Currently reading: Rule of Wolves by Leigh Bardugo π
Kind of resent that I have to do anything besides read this book, even though I love a lot of the other stuff I do.
