Pew | Catherine Lacey

It feels strange that I‘m posting more than I‘m reading. An epigraph, a single poem, and a chapter page is all I‘ve managed… but what are the chances?!

I resolve, firmly, to focus on rest and on sleep in the new year. Then. Bam! Page 1: SLEEP.

So many coincidences with this match, @Billypar ! It‘s kind of freaking me out. 😅 I‘m more powerful than I knew.

CoffeeK8 I feel like every December i end up posting more than I read 3h
Billypar That's a great validation of your goal! I think Pew may have some mystical qualities attached to it? I bought it for a bookstore book club, and it was featured at the register, so I didn't even pick it up before purchasing. I was buying one other novel: Rachel Kushner's, The Flamethrowers. I got home, flipped it over to read the back flap, and the first blurb was from "Rachel Kushner, author of The Flamethrowers" ? 2h
monalyisha @Billypar I read that blurb, too! It‘s such a gorgeous edition: clothbound, metallic ink. 🥵❤️‍🔥 2h
monalyisha @Billypar Impressive that the physical object is capable of working such subtle magic. 2h

I really loved this book! This had a whole slew of my favorite things in stories. Time travel, the power of stories, a lady knight, fantastical Arthurian vibes.

Probably my favorite book of Harrow‘s so far. 💖

#SundayFunday Hope you all are doing well, and let‘s hope for a better 2026! Don‘t forget to tag me in your posts!

A father takes his daughter to Eastern Europe after she has a psychotic break to bring him closer to her and his family‘s past. I‘m enjoying exploring Thorpe‘s backlist but as many have already pointed out this book was overly ambitious, too much touched upon to delve into anything properly.

I read this book so slowly because I was so sure that it was going to hurt my feelings… and it did BUT it was worth it. All the threads of this story get woven in so beautifully, right down to the last overdue library book.

I got this book for my birthday and was lucky enough to buddy read it - and hating on Vivian Rolfe together was such a beautiful experience - as Vivian is one of the best written villains, I have ever read.

⬇️

thegirlwiththelibrarybag I loved the short story, The Six Deaths of the Saint, and was so intrigued when I heard that The Everlasting was loosely based on it. The similarity lies in the redoing of acts of Valor in the service of an authority figure to affect how the future unfolds. Both are love stories that develop slowly and are fought for - but I don‘t think there was any character overlap. ⬇️ (edited) 1w
thegirlwiththelibrarybag I really hope there is a Professor Gilda Sawbridge story in the works, because I loved her so much. 1w
willaful Oh interesting! I remember that story and didn't realize there was a connection. 1w

In the Dominion, national identity traces back to the legend of Ser Una, a peerless knight who gave her life to save her queen. Owen Mallory has dedicated his academic career to Una's legacy, embracing the founding myth of a country that has never truly accepted him. A beautiful, haunting, heartbreaking tale of love and fate, the stories that drive and divide us, and the power of a connection that transcends time.

BookmarkTavern I loved this one too! 3w

Gorgeous. Sprawling. Fantastical but so grounded. God, I love Alix E. Harrow. 😭 (Semi-featuring my festive and fandomy armoire.) #theeverlasting #alixeharrow #2025release

Falling into Alice E Harrow‘s world reminds me of the way I felt as a child reading books. My heart hums.

This one for me was so uneven I can‘t give it more than a meh. Some parts I really liked, but others dragged and I was so bored at one point relatively early on that I almost bailed. I‘ll still keep reading Harrow, though she‘s been hit or miss for me.
