"No one loves a city like one born to it, and no one loves a city like an immigrant. No one loves a city like they do when they are young, and no one loves a city like they do when they are old."
"Vitrine loved her city like demons and cats may love things, with an eye towards ownership and the threat of small mayhem."

Next up is this slim fantasy from #aardvarkbookclub. It's my first book by this author.
I absolutely 😻 this #ahrs24 📦! You really went above and beyond @chasjjlee
Everything is more than perfect,
Did you make the book sleeve as well as the bookmark?!?! It is so pretty.
I need a new cover for my laptop for all these amazing stickers (I‘m a child and ❤️ stickers and magnets so much).

Thank you @Larkken for this perfectly scary #allhallowsreadswap 🎁.
I am really looking forward to reading these two books. Thanks for adding in the sci-fi book; I‘m really getting into the genre more. The bookmarks are so cool.
😻😻😻😻😻

pickDevon is invited to an exclusive private school party by her twin, Drew. The girls have been together for most of their lives, but since Drew was taken out of their original school & sent to a private one an emotional distance has been growing between them. Now that Drew is graduating early, Devon knows that she will soon be leaving home, so she wants to give her sister one last amazing summer.
pickfantastical & mystical I picked this up as i needed ‘a book about a city‘ & it was recommended. It‘s a special, beautiful odd book. A story about a demon who claims a city for her own, growing it over decades & blessing or cursing its people & what happen when it is destroyed by 3 angels - one of whom she curses in her rage. As she mourns & grieves & remembers, the angel returns to her over decades as she (they) build the city once more. ⬇️
pickLight pick. Started out clever. The paranormal aspect didn't quite work with the rest of the story, in my opinion. If the pace were faster and the length a little shorter I might have enjoyed it more.
Cynical Kay discovers that corny religious youth groups have a badass secret -- they're actual demon hunters. But if they don't learn to work together -- Catholics, Evangelicals, Jews and Wiccans -- the demons might succeed in hunting them.
This is funny, scary, and somewhat gory. I was irked by the casual response to Kay's legit concerns about Evangelical groups as shown above, but it is explored more later, though still not in great depth.
