At first I thought it was a bit slow and a bit long... but now... where is the rest, Sunyi Dean, WHERE IS THE REST?!?!

Heebie-jeebies, despite the fact I'd watched the show. I guess I'm glad that I read it now, around Camille's age, and not when it came out 20 years ago when I was Amma's age 😬

I was way biased against it, had a hard time getting into it, and yet here we are. I guess I really can't resist mysteries, secret societies, and ghosts 🤷♂️

I am so annoyed, LOL. We pay so much for books + shipping (especially as an INTL reader), and 8 times out of 9 the books come damaged in some way because whoever is doing the packaging just doesn't care. I'm not talking about some kind of unforeseeable shipping mishap - I'm talking about completely inappropriate packaging with no protection. Big, empty boxes where the books just fly around during shipment, packaging that snags on dust jackets, zero protection for the books... It's really sad. I ordered the special signed edition of The Unmagical Life of Briar Jones from Waterstones--a book retailer!--and the dust jacket arrived completely bunched up and nearly torn. I'm hoping keeping it snug between stacks of books will help fix it somewhat. But, like, why 😭 Also, feel free to vent your horror stories!

Ok I absolutely love the array of options for avatars on PB, but obviously there aren't an infinite number of options. If you could have anything as your avatar what would it be?
I wish that I could have one of the cat avatars but it would look like one of my cats. Neither of the cats look like mine (but I do dream of getting a black cat one day!) Alternatively, I'd love if there were a black tea option because I don't drink green tea so the green tea avatar doesn't speak to me.
Again, I'm not demanding that J&L make infinite avatars this is more of a "you have a magic wand" sort of scenario!
