Very much enjoying this. It's less a plot than a mood, and I'm certain there are lots of people who violently hate it for that!

Not perhaps as classy as the typical glass of wine and a bubble bath pic, but it's been a long long day and my GORD is playing up, so fiery ginger beer, “You're Having A Giraffe“ (papaya, passionfruit and apricot scented) bubbles, hot water, and a book I've been meaning to read for ages.
@AmyG you are the BEST! What an absolutely lovely gift to come home to today ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ I would totally be up for a Buddy read!!! Let me know what works for you - my email is pmcclure@rogers.com I‘m excited to read this ( I love books about libraries and magical creatures so much)
so-soTW sexual violence I really enjoyed most of this book but the sexual violence in the middle was both not needed nor handled properly.
pick4⭐ This strange, poetically lovely book is a love triangle between an angel and a demon and the city she's so carefully honed. It is less about understanding everything and more about the feelings the story evokes. It's hard to describe this book and even harder to follow everything that happens, yet I found it strangely alluring and compelling.
It‘s stupid cold. I‘ve made myself finish off a cowl and I‘ll start something else. The Witchstone is fun though. Kinda jaunty with the air of a heist yet to happen.
pick#AuldLangSpine @Itchyfeetreader @monalyisha What a unique and hard-to-describe novel. Thank you so much for this rec! It was at times dreamlike and untethered, à la This is How You Lose the Time War (one of my favorites). And yet at other times it had a plot that was crystal clear. Sometimes piercing sorrow, sometimes laugh-out-loud humor, sometimes steamyyy sexual tension. Also fascinating and different to read a book set over many centuries…
so-soThis was an okay read for me. I really liked Their Vicious Games, but I wasn't feeling this demonic horror as much. Devon, the main character, struck me as a bit immature. I think it was too campy for me. None of the characters resonated. It could have been the audio book. I did like the twist.
pick4/5
Vitrine is a demon with a city. Until that city is burned to ground by angels. Vitrine must grieve and eventually rebuild her city, while dealing with the presence of the angel she cursed.
It's a book about grieving and rebuilding. It's beautiful and strange, but I really enjoyed it.
I thought the narrator did a wonderful job bringing Vitrine's voice to life.

pickI thought the story was good as well as the graphics. Ending left me disappointed.
