I don't know that I'll make it through the whole series if this kid keeps saying bro or brah every few statements 🙄

I decided that my speech for Monday would be a compare/contrast between my two fave characters: William Blair from Tales of the Iron Rose and Kaz Brekker from Sox of Crows. So I am reviewing the former because it‘s been a little while.

So mad at myself for not cracking this open the day it arrived from Aardvark. I loved this so much. It‘s just as wonderful as The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches - lovely, cozy writing, lovable characters, including a zombie rooster named Roo Roo, and a story that draws you in and blocks out the real world. It‘s a warm book hug, with subtle socio-political commentary, if you pay attention.

This book is filled with life, death, difficult moments and ones that will make your toes curl. While I was very excited for demon smut, I was more impressed by the way the author handled the topics of self harm, cancer, infertility and grief.

4.5⭐️

This was fun and creative and ridiculous. Even being completely clueless about D&D-type gaming and whatnot, I had a good time, but I‘m not sure I want to read seven more of them. (I‘m not quite the target audience for this haha.) Very entertaining though.

I'm so happy to be back at the d&d table. I'm playing a harengon ranger. A harengon is basically a rabbit person. I have a bit more painting to do on her, but I'm excited she gets to be active again.

Spectacular. Certainly took some darker turns with more pathos than I initially anticipated, but the fantastical elements are gorgeously rendered and truly imaginative.
I'm usually a big grump about illustrated works in black and white/gray scale, but this was beautiful even without colour. To think I found out about it because of an ad in the back of a The Way of the Househusband manga! 1/?

Robotswithpersonality 2/? - where I usually expect gray scale and a somewhat limited style - this was not that.
The shifting of the cats back and forth between a true to life depiction and a stylized cat-person anthropomorphic form personalized for each cat character added to the sense of them as individuals, and made the art unlike anything I've seen before.
6h
Robotswithpersonality 3/? The traveling into paintings, the emphasis on a love of art and the importance of preservation, the thread of loss, the message of staying safe versus facing risk, and what the costs are for each, the struggle to determine which life suits you best, it's all interwoven in a way that hits you upon reflection, after being carried along by the story and its plot(s). It doesn't flinch away from the realities that cats without shelter face, anymore 6h
Robotswithpersonality 4/4 than the reality that sometimes the hoped for (career, reunion) does not occur.
And yet, I still ended up feeling like the ending was exactly what the story needed.
You never know how a new favourite book will be discovered. ☺️

Sace So apparently I own this on kindle and forgot. I‘m adding it to my immediate TBR. I don‘t read much in August so manga might be the perfect remedy for that. 4h

The Gone series has been on my TBR for years so I decided to check the 1st book Gone. I like it so far but I didn't realize how long this series is. There are 6 books in the original series and then 7-9 were add ons later in guess.
So I decided to calculate how long the series is because just the 1st book is 560 pages. In case you are curious too the total page count is - 4,245 pages and the audiobooks at 1 speed is approx 136 hours long. 😱
