    Thoughts :)

    "Despite my means of transport this evening -" he gestured to the Grave Sweeper's carriage - "news of my demise was spread... prematurely." 😂😂😂 I know others have used basically this same quote, but this came out in 2016, so who did it first 😂

    "Rye had little fear of the dead anymore; she'd long since learned that it was the living who were far more fearsome." 😭 poor Rye had to grow up so much, but i guess thats the point of a story hahaha

    Series Titles

    This is a three book series, but depending on where you live you may find that they have different names:

    Book 1: The Luck Uglies Book 2: Dishonour Among Thieves OR Fork-Tounge Charmers Book 3: The Last Reckoning OR Rise of the Ragged Clover

    For some reason the US and UK publishers did them under different names :)

    once again, love it!!

    "Seeing strange things in the dark didn't frighten her anymore. Not seeing them - that was still the scary part."

    also, i almost forget this is the middle book in a trilogy, cos often i find them to be a bit boring or slow or yk have the same sorf of middle book problems, but this one really doesn't, there is a lot going on, with high stakes, and though it sets up for the last one it doesn't feel like thats the main thing it is trying to do

  • How are you using the TBR vs Interested tag?

    I looked to see if this has been discussed and didn't see anything. How are people tagging TBR books vs Interested books? Obviously you can do it however right but I'm curious what the difference for people is. My TBR is literally thousands soooo I am thinking I will make Interested be like my more immediate reads wants.

    Thoughts from 100% (page 331)

    First of all, love love love this book 😭 i read it years ago as a kid and it's stuck with me forever, so so nice to finally give it a reread, reading it while already knowing all the twists is so fun cos i love to watch how things are introduced with all the hindsight of not only finishing this book but the series.

    if you are looking for good kids' fantasy (that you can also read literally however old you are), this is really the perfect book

    a couple zero context quotes that stuck out to me:

    '"I guess, Riley, that I'd say that we're all haunted. Haunted by those we're loved but are no longer with us. That's where the dead go. And the more people who you've loved, or who you have you've affected in some way, well, the more people you have to live on in. Forever." "So what about the ghosts that haunt this cemetery?" Rye said. "Or the dungeons of Longchance Keep. Or the wine cellar at the Dead Fish Inn?" "Maybe the ghosts who walk this cemetery are just lonely," Harmless said. "They don't have any hearts to go home to."'

    '"NAME," Rye said, her hopes rising. "It was a man who sent for me?" NAME nodded, "I don't know his name. But he knows yours."' --(sorry trying to make sure it is spoiler free 😂😂😂)

    also, i don't know if this counts as the most mild of spoilers (probably not hahaha) but obviously i love Harmless, but also Bramble is the best ever, don't forget him too (he has a special place in my heart hahaha)
