i'm struggling with this book...pls someone tell me that it picks up soon 🥲🥲

So, first of all, this book has given me so many new words for my "New Vocabulary" section of my book journal. I've already got 20 new words listed. Amazing.

Also, I looked up an illustration of Errol, the Swamp Dragon. He's so ugly that he's adorable. I love him.

The way the dragon is described in flight (specifically how it flies) honestly kinda reminds me of Salamence from Pokémon. Just a random thought I had.

Also also, Cut-me-own-Throat is delightful. Absolute little bastard, but in the best way possible, haha.

Here's to the second half!

Loved the market bit. I also like Fenris I feel like he will be a very interesting character. I like that this society feels complicated and real.

The yogurt story is so funny i too would be beefing with yogurt lids if they were trying to spite me

Trying to track my asian lit reading so I made a shelf with all the asian lit books I’ve read so far but I’m starting to struggle a bit. I’m wondering how does one determine a book is asian lit? Books with plots centred around asian lore/myth, books set in asia, books with asian characters, books written by asians? Are all these considered asian lit? A bit confused on this because I’ve come across books written by asian authors with plots unrelated to asia (no asian characters/lores/myths, etc), and wondering if I should include those books in my shelf? 🤔

So far I’ve only shelved books that are translated asian works, or specifically about asian lore/myth with asian MCs. But I feel that cannot be the only criteria.

This moves so fast and is so readable. This Godmother thing is so interesting.

Who was your first book boyfriend and where did you find him? Did you find him in the depths of KU or did you find him on the covers of a penguins publishing co book?or If you're like me, you found him on wattapad. My first book bf was Blake Eaton from the book "i sold myself to the devil for the vinyls, pitiful i know". He was everything and more I could ask for, still one of my top book bfs of all time🥺🫶 So, who was yours?

I have been seeing a lot of discourse regarding book cover preferences lately. I wonder if anyone has ever gotten the ick from a book cover? If so, did you still read the book, or was it an immediate no thank youuuu?

why are there such long scenes with men in my witch book. It might be blasphemic to discworld fans but I really haven't been able to warm up to the wizards.. and they're in pretty much every book now and it annoys me.
