I read this every Christmas. It‘s heavy on sarcasm and dark humor which I appreciate especially this time of year!

Went to see Elf the Musical this afternoon and caught this sunset from the parking deck when we left. No filter!

2✨ This book hurt. We have a demon that loves her city that is destroyed. An angel helps her rebuild, but more happens that caused my personal heartache. It is short in jumps through time a lot because of that. Then it hurt. 😭 #FableBR @Littlewolf1

Tonight‘s water polo game for son might be 2 hours away, but at least the sunset is giving us a #BeautyBreak 😊

Oof, there is a LOT going on here. Almost too much - I felt like the final couple of plot twists were a couple too many, but that might say more about my lack of imagination. It's beautifully written, and I found myself very invested in the characters.

I bailed on this one. I just couldn‘t continue. I was too bored and the chapters were way too long and I just couldn‘t finish it. Sorry anyone who might have liked it. 😔 It just wasn‘t for me.

Aliette de Bodard is one of those authors I really, really want to love, but I‘ve never clicked with her longer work. (I‘ve enjoyed some of her short fiction.) Going by this book‘s opening, I think maybe her prose is precise in a way that shuts me out of the story‘s emotional side. Hopefully the rest of the thing‘ll win me over and change my mind.
Also, you‘ll appreciate why I had to buy and immediately assemble this diorama kit. #audiocrafting
