I've been working 8 to 5 for two weeks in a row and I have two more weeks doing that. Surprisingly I'm still alive

I accidentally dropped this glove at work and it ended up like this. I interpreted this as the universe giving me a sign and I was right because work was mental again

Sometimes on my way home or when I'm wandering I see random cats around. Sometimes they're friendly

15. The Reapers by John Connolly.
After The Unquiet I wanted answers about Parker's conversation with The Collector, but having a novel focusing on Louis and Angel was a treat. A detective series needs a great sidekick but Parker has two great ones

14. The Atlas Six by Olivie Blake.
Bit like The Secret History in that it's about a bunch of people doing questionable academic things, but with magic.
This is also the first book I used my embosser in

The stakes were a bit lower than in The Black Angel here but somehow it's even darker than that.

When I read this book for the first time I thought "Shit's starting to get real" but I was proven wrong a few weeks after this reread

Like I mentioned before I aim to read my way through the entire series this year, taking breaks to read something else to enjoy it more

I hadn't read the final two Parker comics Darwyn Cooke made so buying this gave me an excuse. This is a brilliant thing he did and it makes me sad we're not getting any more of these
