I love her your honor

I would kill for Shadow (but also what kind of dog is he?? because she said boarhound [I think] which comes up as Great Dane but she mentioned his forelock I think???)

NORDIC**. ISLAND.

I also love Bambleby. haven't even met him and I am completely enamored.

placing hold for the sequel as we speak

*[*squints* Emily Wilde..... Ah. Emily Windsnap. That's what it reminds me of.]

**I said Norwegian originally and that's not quite accurate but who's counting?
