Look, Beverley is Queen of My Heart, literally would be her acolyte no question, and in canon I dislike nor deny her good relationship with Peter.
I'm just saying that Starlingale itches that part of my brain I can't reach any other way.
24 Hour Readathon - Closing Survey
How would you assess your reading overall? Pretty strong actually, only a couple of books, really, but started with a pretty long book, so Iām pretty happy with it.
Did you have a strategy, and if so, did you stick to it? None at all, but just sitting in the quiet and reading was pretty effective.
What was your favorite snack? I had some chocolate, Iāve not had chocolate in a while and I was very happy about it.
Did you add any new books to your TBR/wishlist after seeing what everyone else is reading? Interesting question, Iāve not seen anyone elseās lists yet, but itās at least made me excited to get to my ownĀ TBR and also to somehow get the full P.G. Wodehouse collection without breaking the bank.
What was your favorite book or experience from this readathon? Iāve loved all of the books in their own way. I think getting into Pepperharrow properly though has made me better.
24 Hour Readathon - End!
I was glad to do this readathon, Iāve not been in the best reading space and though I only read a couple of books, itās been so long since Iāve read anything over much that Iām glad to have had a bit of a reading kick. Iām hoping to continue over the next few weeks, although Iām not sure I shall, I hope I will. and Iāve broken the 1000 page mark!

Very close to the end of the readathon now! and we plow on with Pepperharrow and the anxiety that it induces. I wonāt finish it before the end of the readathon as Iām only a bit more than half way through, however I think I might continue with it for the rest of today as I really want to make sure that all my darlings survive to the end.
The story that I would want to be made into a series: I think that the Wayward Children series would look splendid in a visual medium, theyāre really vivid worlds.

Continuing with Pepperharrow, unsurprisingly. I did quickly finish The Ties That Bind as well. Iāve just started listening to The Blandings Collection, starting with Summer Lightning.Ā
Pepperharrow continues to stress me out. Can Thaniel just get a break please?

Comics: Iāve already read one comic this time around, and ARC of Chefās Kiss, however I probably wonāt read more comics, unless I finish Pepperharrow and want to read something quick, then I might try the next of the Lumberjanes.
Iāve been mostly reading Pepperharrow, but Iām really close to the end of the audiobook too. I might need to start another audiobook whilst I sort out the last of my life tasks, but I donāt know what I should choose next. Probably more P.G. Wodehouse, ngl.

Snacks! My snacks are red. It is a complete coincidence, but itās fun to look at.
I still have a few bits of life admin to do this morning, so I was just continuing with my audiobook, but now have just settled down with Pepperharrow. Iāll see if I can finish it today.

I woke up (after a couple of attempts) and have been back on the audiobook whilst I start my morning routine and get myself around the outside of some coffee. I really enjoy the Bertie Wooster books.
From past hour posts:
Hobbies: I have a big anxiety problem where I think of wasting time that could be doing something practical/useful makes me feel like Iām dying. Not all the time, but sometimes. When I do that, but I have no mental energy for absorbing anyhting other than youtube videos, I knit. I love knitting, I donāt have to think at all and I can watch my youtube videos without stress, and yet I end up with a practical product that I can use so my anxiety is soothed. Fortunately Iām at an age where making baby blankets for friends is much in demand.
Spoopy: as previously stated, I donāt do horror. At all. But I do enjoy cute spoop. Nightmare Before Christmas style.Ā

Probably stopping here before I go to bed for a nights rest. I would push through and sleep less, but Iāve got work starting back up again and need to make sure Iāve got a strong sleep schedule in place. I will get up bright and early tomorrow to continue through to the end.
Reading Pepperharrow stresses me out because I loved Mori and Thaniel (and of course Six) so much in the first book, and I can tell that things are going to go down. I had to ever so slightly spoil the book for myself so I could deal with reading it. I am not emotionally ready.

Halloween: Do I try to read spooky books? No, really, really not, Iām no good with spook or scare. My brain is overactive about most things, and if I got a lot of horror in my brain I would not be able to sleep. I donāt mind an atmospheric sort of victorian/gothic story, but more or less as a fantasy or magical story, not so much as a horror. I donāt mind some perturbing stories though, I quite liked the dumb house, or or Ruth Ozeki, whose work is not really horror, but does have some difficult parts.
Chefās kiss is so charming and funny, and I love the way the end resolved. Like Before We Disappear it probably could have continued with more fluff and happiness, but yeah. Lovely.
Also quote: āIs this your beautiful mind moment? Are the pears telling you to burn things?ā
Iām just starting to read the Lost Future of Pepperharrow again.

Reading Buddies: I have none... no pets. No companions. Very sad indeed. My own companion is spyro the dragon and my absolute failure to catch the stupid blue egg thieves.
For the firstĀ part of this hour I was still cooking and therefore still audiobooking, but I very much enjoy the PG Wodehouse as a change of feeling from the previous book, so itās still excellent. I like this readerās voice well enough, but he speaks over the lines a bit too quickly and doesnāt have enough of a change in voice so I have to pay attention to know which character is speaking.
I started reading Chefās Kiss once I finished eating, and itās really just sweet and delightful thus far. The whole getting experience in a job when all jobs require prior experience is all too real, so glad Iām beyond those post-uni years, they can be the worst.
Also, sexy bee.

Audiobook: In past events Iāve regularly switched between audiobooks and physically reading, being quite slow at both, but this time around I was completely absorbed in the first print book I picked up, so I hadnāt started the audiobook until I had finished the print book, but now Iām listening to some more P.G. Wodehouse whilst I make dinner.
Look, Iāve heard lots of things about The Ties That Bind and even more than every one of the other Wooster books I read, it reenforces my strong opinion that Bertie is completely queer coded. I donāt care whether itās intentional or not, but itās my happy place and I will not be disuaded.
Iāve also got a digital ARC of Chefās Kiss, so I just about started that before I decided that I hadnāt eaten in a long time and Iām going to do a little cooking and switched to the audiobook. Although the dramatic BIFF/POW sort of batman bubbles about setting up a general moving in adventures is hillarious.

Finished Before We Disappear and loved it. I kind of wanted the story to continue with just some lovely fluffy found family joy at the end, but the story was satisfying ending where it did.

The 5 word book mini challenge, I only got 1 of them, but to be fair I had only read 2 of the books on the list.
If I continue reading Before We Disappear at the pace Iām currently reading it, then I might just finish it by the end of the next hour. Nothing is particularly surprising here, but they pay offs are quite satisfying. Weāre getting to some very dramatic stuff.
PSA: George can die in a hole.

#tbr: I shared this earlier, but itās an extensive list of quite long fantasy and queer books, not really a completeable TBR, but more like a menu.
Iāve now turned off all background music and am totally absorbed in Before We Disappear. Look, it might not be High literature, or even High fantasy, but damn if Iām not having an excellent time with this book.Ā
It's sort of tried to imply that both the awful guardian figures have hidden depths, but not shown it effectively, I don't care, just bring me more of the rest of this exceptional and very queer cast.Ā

Before we disappear continues to be incredibly readable. Itās actually a little stressful because thereās a couple of really horrible characters. I will say that Theodore as a character is a bit of a 1 dimensional terrible monster type character, whilst I donāt need all characters to be complex, the main villain just feels like a bit of a caricature. Again, not that I need this to be particularly complex, Iām happy to be reading anything enjoyable.

Well already this book is making me hate theĀ āguardianā figures. Both incredibly abusive arseholes. Maybe they'll end up together and live in their own brand of special hell.
Everyone else is precious and deserves love and protection. This book isn't exactly what I expected and is a little darker than anticipated too, sort of giving me Night Circus vibes a little bit, but not as subtle. Iām alright with that though, I need an easy read. This is definitely fast paced.
