"Books were often powerful. People assumed this was because of the words inside, but that wasn't quite correct. People held books for long periods of time, they concentrated on them, they communed. They worshipped. That was what gave books - some books - power. The hush in a library was reverential for good reason."

A strange and marvellous supernatural mystery. I don't know exactly how to describe it, but it was as strange as it was enchanting. The relationship between Rose and Mal seemed a bit weird and unnecessary, but other than that it was just brilliant. The ending for me was weird and wonderful and not at all what I expected.

Getting my bags packed ready for a week in Prague 😁 turns out the deal I booked through work included a carry on bag and a checked bag, both up to 23kg so I don't have to limit my books 😅

I've already started the top 3 so they probably wont last me long, and I think I've read Foretold by Thunder once before but I can't remember now ☺️

Roll on tomorrow morning 🤩 Prague here I come!

🍁Maple all the way!
📖 He felt himself fall and welcomed it, opening his arms and diving into the cool darkness, desperate to get away from the burning pain.

Part 2
First things first: I LOVED the dinosaur wrapping paper! 🦕🦖

And so many amazing books!!! I don't even know where to start! 🤩 These should keep me going a while 😂

Also that mug! Instant favourite 😍 Looking forward to reading you're short story in the morning 😊 Marmalade has been trying to steal the bookmark, we both love it ☺ and who doesn't love cake? 😅

Thank you so much for spoiling me @shanaqui #SFFS ❤🧡💛

shanaqui Glad you like it all! If you don't mind, I'd like to share the story I wrote online -- it's silly, but I have a friend or two who would like to see it. If you do mind, though, just let me know and it'll stay exclusively for you! 😁 5y
shanaqui Oh, btw -- the mug is specifically extra big to be good for the mug cake. We've had our best successes in big mugs like that... though even the failures have been tasty! 5y
TCLinrow @shanaqui of course you can share it 😊 I love that I have the original copy 😁 and I might just have to play around with mug cakes tomorrow now 5y
Avanders Wow! 🧬🦄♥️🐉👏🏽 5y

Mehso-so

ARC received from the author -- beautifully packaged, too!

Not really sure what I think of this, in the end. Mal and his life struck me as very much Sam Winchester (Supernatural), from being a hunter to his relationship with his dad to his trip down a morally dubious path after his loss of his older brother to something they hunted. And Rose's ending was... in the end, really unsatisfying for me? Not that I bought into the romance, either.

shanaqui I might still change my mind and rate this higher when I write my full review. It definitely kept me intrigued, and I read it in two sittings... 5y
sheshedbooks Helpful and honest thoughts! I'll give this one a try. I'm intrigued by unsatisfactory ending for one character and a character's likeness to Sam. Maybe the aim is a book series? Or not? ☺️ 5y
shanaqui @grayidlings The author said not, and the ending kind of rules it out! 5y
sheshedbooks Oh, that's interesting! And great too. I'll look forward to this book. Thank you! 5y
