Finally had a chance to sit down and finish this. I really liked this one. The main character is at a private arts high school and Since I was an art student in middle and high school it totally brought back memories. Mix that with pagan rituals and gods and it was a really good fit. For me. If you‘re not into art or the occult though it would probably not be your cup of tea.

I‘ve LOST my book 😱. Like seriously I can‘t find it anywhere and it‘s not like my house is all that messy. I have no clue where it is and now breakfast feels incomplete. Zeek and Arthur are no help with my current situation either. #bookandbreakfast

BookInMyHands That‘s the worst! Let‘s see... as librarians where do we tell people to check? In the couch cushions, under the seat of the car, in your child‘s bedroom where you fell asleep reading... 😂 But seriously, that‘s awful and I hope you find it soon! 7y
LibrarianJen @BookInMyHands lol yup! Or for me they are usually in easy to find spots I just for some reason I can‘t find them. Like when I‘m looking for my sunglasses and they are on my head. 7y
