Mama got the name Chablis off a wine bottle. She didn‘t think it up for me though. It was supposed to be for my sister. Mama got pregnant when I was sixteen, and she wanted a little girl. She was gonna name her La Quinta Chablis. But then she had a miscarriage, and I said, ‘Oooh Chablis. That‘s nice. I like that name.‘ And mama said, ‘Then take it, baby. Call yourself Chablis from now on.‘ So ever since then, I‘ve been Chablis.
pickReread this in order to refresh my memory for the third book -- obviously I'll need to reread the second book too.
Nigel and Oscar's budding relationship is so cute, and I enjoy both their characters a lot. Found myself wishing for a bit more about the supporting characters, though!

panStarted and finished this graphic novel in about 10 minutes. Just to tick off some prompts in my reading challenges. Let‘s say I won‘t read the second installment 😊
Runaway werewolf Tam flees to their childhood friend Nova, seeking help with a dangerous destiny. As Nova and her witchy family work to save Tam, their friendship blossoms into love. A sweet, magical YA graphic novel, that's mainly plot focused but also includes themes of disability (Nova is hard-of-hearing) and queer identity.

With the other danmei I'm planning to read this month, I wanted to finish my reread of Scum Villain first. So here we go! And starting with the most Shen Qingqiu quote ever, after he refuses to share a bed with Binghe:
“Look, he'd only refused out of habit. If Luo Binghe had just pestered him a little more, he would have agreed!“
If only SQQ would just communicate properly!
Happy Fall and Happy almost October! 🍁🎃🍂
My #BookSpin list this month is more nostalgic than spooky. I‘m a chicken when it comes to horror.🫣

pickI really need to reread The Gentle Art of Fortune Hunting; it isn't necessary for understanding/enjoying this book, but it'd have enhanced that last chapter at the very least.
I love Cassian. He really should've told Daizell the truth, but... they work it out, and he figures out how to be much more of a person. It's quite the journey.
