I just got my copy of the Barnes & Noble Exclusive Edition of TJ Klune’s The House in the Cerulean Sea. I loveeeeee the edges and I desperately want to get the Under the Whispering Door one as well.

Fat Girl walks into the world and says, “World, it hurts to exist like this.” World says, “So stop existing like that” World says, “Have you considered weight loss surgery?”

“Don’t go,” he said, still half asleep. “I have to bathe. I smell like a forest fire.” “You smell like wildflowers. You always do. What can I say to make you stay?” His words trailed off into a drowsy mumble as he fell back asleep. Tell me it’s more than war and worry that makes you speak those words. Tell me what they would mean if you weren’t a king and I weren’t a soldier.”

A vampire slaying necromancer who comes home bloody and covered in entrails almost every night has a white couch? Absolutely not. Stuffed penguin collection and a weird obsession with frozen coffee beans, okay. I’ll buy that. But a white couch? No. She wouldn’t.

Anyway, some books really should stay in your past as fuzzy, fond memories of a time in your life when you did not know any better. These are definitely that, and I must now run, not walk, to the exit. |Completed 2022.10.21

LOL This series, man. The number of times me and the bestest ranted over the dumbassery and the WTF-ness of it all. But it was the series that got me into paranormal romance, so for that I will always have a special dark hole in my heart for it.

Hurricane Child by Kacen Callender

Today's sapphic book of the day is Hurricane Child by Kacen Callender!

Summary: "Caroline Murphy is a Hurricane Child.

Being born during a hurricane is unlucky, and 12-year-old Caroline has had her share of bad luck lately. She's hated and bullied by everyone in her small school on St. Thomas of the US Virgin Islands, a spirit only she can see won't stop following her, and—worst of all—Caroline's mother left home one day and never came back.

But when a new student named Kalinda arrives, Caroline's luck begins to turn around. Kalinda, a solemn girl from Barbados with a special smile for everyone, becomes Caroline's first and only friend—and the person for whom Caroline has begun to develop a crush.

Now, Caroline must find the strength to confront her feelings for Kalinda, brave the spirit stalking her through the islands, and face the reason her mother abandoned her. Together, Caroline and Kalinda must set out in a hurricane to find Caroline's missing mother—before Caroline loses her forever."

“You like this place?"

"Of course I do. It has books in it.”

Is anyone else extremely excited for Mysteries of Thorn Manor??

I can’t wait to get back to the world of Elisabeth, Nathaniel, and Silas. I loved Sorcery of Thorns and definitely related to Elisabeth’s love of books. I would just love to explore the Great Libraries and see all the Grimoires and magic. And maybe even get a sword.

💬What fantasy world would you love to visit??

Besides Austermeer, definitely Ketterdam (even if I did get my wallet stolen right off the bat) and Terrasen.

This was such a delight. I would absolutely watch this as a rom com. MORE QUEER ROM COMS PLEASE.
