I really enjoyed this book. It was a perfect summer read, quick and entertaining and I loved the characters (plus HIPPOS, you can't go wrong with hippos!). I'm looking forward to the sequel!

I'm excited to be plucking this off the top of my TBR pile!

I devoured this book. It's short but entertaining, I had a hard time putting it down. I loved all the interconnections with Mitchell's other work.

I started this book two hours ago and can't put it down. It's fun and so perfectly David Mitchell-ian.

I was going to wait to start this book because I'm tired but I just couldn't. ¯\_( “D)_/¯ #readersGottaRead

**updated to add: this was such a fun book, it would be perfect for cuddling up with one of the kiddos and reading on a chilly night, though I enjoyed it on my own as well. I knew some of the stories already but Neil tells them in his very Gaiman way and has made them all the more magical and fun.

This was a strange little book that I could barely stand to put down. I felt a real connection with Auri but also, weirdly, the inanimate objects in the book. This story was a delight, I almost wish I had time to read it again immediately.

And away we go!

This book was such fun, I'm looking forward to starting the next (and can I just say that having a sister who works at a library and can bring you book two in a series as soon as you close book one is AWESOME)!

I loved this book. I started reading it a while ago and couldn't really get into it but the audiobook was the perfect format for it to really grab me. I'll miss the characters (and Allan Corduner's voice).

What a badass. ❤️

Let's do this!

I didn't even bother going to bed last night. I'm exhausted but it was worth it. What a heartbreakingly beautiful book.

I should be sleeping, and yet...

Let's do this!

I need to sit with this one for a bit and then read it again. And then again (probably). I feel like I'll be thinking about it for a very long time.

A grey Sunday in October, a cup of coffee, and this book. Perfect.
