Love doesn't just sit there, like a stone, it has to be made, like bread; remade all the time, made new. --Ursula K. Le Guin, The Lathe of Heaven

    I can definitely see where the comparisons to Final Fantasy come from. To be fair I haven't played them all, but did play FFVII as a kid and then the remaster, and I have to say it feels super similar to that story so far. 2 POVs is always an interesting read as well, but it's too early to tell how well it's going to work.

    I loved this delightful little book. I loved the idea that cats understand exactly what we're saying and we understand exactly what they're saying but we cannot speak the same language. A must for people who love cats and cosy introspective reads.

    Slow reader

    I swear some of y'all can speed read (not a bad thing) and maintain so much detail. It will take me days to a week to get through a 400 to 500 page book and I will miss so much context sometimes. I also find myself sometimes becoming easily distracted when reading slower parts of books which definitely extends my reading time. Sometimes I just can't focus on whatever is going on and then will need to reread the parts. I'm reading for enjoyment of course and the discussions here, but I find myself feeling inefficient, which shouldn't really matter but I was curious what everyone's strategy was to read so quickly. I feel like some of y'all will start a 500 page book in the morning and have a detailed review by the evening, which is awesome and I need to know your secrets.
