To say I'm obsessed with this book would be a gross oversimplification. I'm rabid. I'm a terrible little goblin. I've scaled your three-story house and I'm clinging to your window in the dead of night, pressing this book to the glass so that you might read it.

An excellent book also often makes an excellent laying place, if you're a (not wet) cat. Planning to finish this great read this weekend! @alexandrarowland.bsky.social
