Finished reading: Raybearer by Jordan Ifueko 📚
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.
Happy solstice!

New glasses! Who knew I had a face under those cateyes?

Finished reading: Rule of Wolves by Leigh Bardugo 📚
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.

Woodland Goth: The Goblins of Labyrinth by Brian Froud 📚
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.
