What are the books that no matter how much people recommend them, or how much hype there is around them, you're still never going to read? For me, it's anything Brandon Sanderson 🫣

Second read through and I’m definitively calling this moment at the ball between robin and ramy the official “ramy coming out scene”

I keep thinking the action is right around the corner...but then Robin just continues with his normal student life. Really not feeling a sense of what's at stake for him...

What's your sweet spot when reading books with multiple parts? I feel like my sweet spot is a duology. Trilogies are nice too, but, more often than not I feel like the 2nd book usually lacks something. Series that are longer feel like a big time commitment and keeping track of all the characters and events 😭 (I usually make the joke that I'm Dory from Finding Nemo). I do like long book series, but only when I have the time to actually enjoy it.

Robin's struggle between loving Oxford and hating the exploitation of Babel is one of the most interesting parts of his character - I love that we get such a nuanced and detailed look into his complex feelings.

‘I’ve got quite a big family there. Don’t tell anyone, but I’m actually royalty, fourth in line to the throne – what throne? Oh, just a regional one; our political system is very complicated. But I wanted to experience a normal life – get a proper British education, you know – so I’ve left my palace for here.’ I like Ramy 😂 Also the audiobook is really good 👍🏻
