I‘m only a little bit ashamed at how helpful I‘m finding the Lord of the Rings references.

Patchshank Lol. I loved the amount of LOTR references. 5y

I would give this book a high 3 stars. I picked it up because I really enjoy the author‘s twitter presence (and clear love for Captain America 💕) even though I‘m not really in to D/S. But, I really liked the relationship at the center of the novel and the soap opera elements in the story. This was an enjoyable read.

It is really hard to listen/read books that have descriptions of intimate partner abuse. But, I‘m really interested in this story of this nerdy Dominican American kid. #24in48

Not really into stepsiblings or dom/sub, but it‘s interesting to read outside your interests sometimes. Really liking Naya and Lachlan as characters.

This novel is so weird and I am really enjoying it. (That‘s a really terrible photo of the most recent full moon.)

this is a lovely tale of a portrait artist and a prince of fairy. There is adventure, danger, mystery, romance. I tore through this book and I really, really loved it

“I was ravenous. I was sore. I was terrified. And yet looking at Rook I imagined a cat proudly bringing its master dead chipmunks...” I love this imagery so much.

Human tried to explain consent to a fairy. For some reason, I‘d think with the magic they‘d be better at it?

“They looked like a pair of cupid‘s who had decided they liked shooting people with real arrows better. They were horrible. I loved them so much.” Welp. I‘ve found my favorite characters in this book.

My library audiobook of Circe expired close to the end of the book. Argh! I need to know what happens next! So, I‘m hoping this will get me through. I‘m on chapter 2 and so far, so good.

Narcissus in Chains wraps up a bunch of story lines from previous books. The drama with Narcissus frames all of wrap up of things going on in Anita‘s life and it is kind of incidental. I enjoyed this, and I could stop reading the series here, honestly. I won‘t, of course 😉

Language change is so neat. We see were now and we think, “oh, shape shifter, werewolf, werelion, wereweasel, great.” So, we understand that a panwere would be someone who could shift into multiple animals. But, were- is related to words like virile. It‘s the man part of the word...or it was before it became the part of the word that marked shifter 😉

“That‘s unusual in a woman. Most of them can‘t stand the thought of silence. They talk and talk and talk.” I don‘t know why I‘d expect the villain to not be a total misogynist. I suppose there really isn‘t a ceiling on how gross and terrible a person you can be. But, still, I find myself surprised.

“All these months I‘d been worried I‘d fail the wereleopards. I thought failure meant them dying, or getting hurt. What I realized suddenly was that the true failure would have been if I hadn‘t given a damn. You can bandage a wound, set a broken bone, but not caring...you can‘t cure that, and you can‘t recover from it.” Wow. Now, that‘s a good growth arc across this series.

“I looked at the slim black phone. If only had it a few months. I‘d tried not to buy one. If you had a cell phone and a beeper you were never truly free of the office.” one of the things I‘m enjoying about reading the early Anita Blake books is that they‘re pre-cell phone. It was a different world.

Oh, man. It kills me that she realizes she‘s basically a supporting character in Odysseus‘s story and that she‘s basically fixing him up for Penelope

“Lois rolls her eyes as a default expression in response to much of what I say, but honestly, if I weren‘t around acting as her social conscience, she would always choose a free drink for herself over fair wages for the bartender pouring it.” To be fair, it‘s hard to say no to free margaritas. Still tho.

Not even a quarter of the way in, and I can already tell this book is going to make me sad. I hope it also elicits other emotions 😊
