yet another great read from Louise Erdrich titled "The Plague Of Doves" which centers around the hanging of three Native Men accused of killing a white family and the ramifications of that act. It jumps back in time when the story is told by a fourth, who is now an old man. This story expands her universe and had me laughing out loud as well as bringing me to tears. Great Books can do that!!!

So I’m reading veil of Darkness now…
and figured those with the Cato fleas would enjoy this snippet:
“At the command of the apothecary, a serf entered the room from a side chamber and began scraping the remaining amniotic gel from my skin”
truly a gift for the serf Astartes shipper. for context: this is after Cato woke up from a wound that should have killed him and then got in one of the bitchest back and forth with his self proclaimed “rival”. I feel like I can’t discribe the drama here properly so this is what the dramatic guy did after waking up, from what should have been a killing blow:
Woke up and started beating on the draining casket demanding to be released.
tried to escape the apothecary and only let the apothecary check him out beavuse dude was already running the test. And then “refused the proffered hand” and crawl out of the casket by himself.
hear bad news and destroy medical equipment.
realized his rival had been weirdly hiding in the shadows, of his coma room. Purposefully piss him off.
get pissed off at the same treatment. Internally diss Agemman CAPTAIN of the first company, his rival.
find out he has to attend a debrief for the disaster of a mission that they just survived, get pissed about it, insult Agemman again.
think the phrase “ Agemman had every right yo strike me. To my irritation, he resisted, but he spoke though clenched teeth I knew he’d come close.”
Awkwardly asked about his weapons while a serf scraped his naked ass clean.
man is a god damn delight, but I would hate to meet him. So far veil of darkness 10/10.

Tana French's The Likeness is for people who like Richard Gansey but wish he was worse and weirder and involved in a murder.

Guys I just read Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros and I adored it. Love the characters. Love the world building off Anne McCaffrey. Love the story. Love the spicy parts and the flirting and the relationships *chefs kiss.* But you know what I really love? The fact that she wrote a believable disability for the main character that illustrates physical limitations. She even included the complex mental/emotional issues that come with it, even when you've had it all your life. I don't have what the main character has, but it was similar enough to my own disability that I just felt so fucking seen. Thank you, Rebecca Yarros, for making me feel seen.

A must-have for any fan of Morecambe and Wise, written by the great Eddie Braben. He was their best and successful scriptwriter.
