Nothing I love more than a slow morning with hot coffee, a good book, and my dog snuggled up next to me. @slow.morning.reads

    The story was boring, but it did make me want to visit the Jimbocho district in Japan to see all the used bookstores

    Copper Skin, Oaken Lungs (Copper & Ash, #1)

    Adam Bassett

    For a thousand years, The Old Town has stood as humanity’s last bastion against the maalkonis, malignant black mists that reduced the rest of the world to ash. They are kept at bay by rusty machines on the town’s walls. In order to survive, the dwindling population depends on one another. Since a young age, Justīne has embraced the harsh responsibilities that accompanied her apprenticeship on the last farm in existence. Her younger sister, Anna, is beginning her own apprenticeship as well. Learning engineering was not Anna's first choice, but the town's last mage fell to the maalkonis years prior, leaving nothing behind but confusing books and strange runes. When food runs low during a particularly harsh winter, distrust spreads like a plague, and Justīne is blamed for it. As hunger leads to violence, she and her siblings are forced to flee The Old Town, embarking on a perilous journey into the very mists that had formed their cage. Their fight to survive in the dark develops into a hopeful mystery as they follow the breadcrumbs of a mage’s efforts to save the world. Meanwhile something pursues them through the maalkonis…

    Oooof this is just gut wrenching and real and disturbing yet relatable and comical and so so so good. Half way through and really glad I went for the audio book. Can’t stop listening!

    I already feel like that Jennette shouldn't narrated this. She was wonderful narrating her memoir but for this needed someone who actually does narration work.
