Obviously Agatha doesn’t want to die, she’s been fighting to survive since she was very young. But I still think it’s amusing to assume that when Jen is talking about the poison and says that it leads to death, Agatha tries to break the glass because she doesn’t want to see her ex so badly she loses it

I do think that part of the reason that The Dreamer Trilogy is Like That is because the premise is inherently flawed in that The Raven Cycle was originally magical realism, a genre that doesn't rely on explanations for magic and magic systems and actually coasts on them being unexplainable, whereas The Dreamer Trilogy had to expand the world beyond Henrietta and start explaining things, which makes the whole premise begin to fall apart.

Nikdo nic

Tady není vůbec nic k vidění

Jenom rovný lidi a jejich rovné pohledy jedna na druhou

S absolutně nulovou dávkou čehokoliv

Profka: ... a do příště si najděte předmluvu k jakémukoli překladu. Podmínkou je, aby vznikla před rokem 1950- Ano?

Já: Je nějaká hranice, jak dlouho před rokem 1950?

Profka: Ne, vůbec ne.

Já: 😊

Profka: Mezi 1950 a 1800 se ale vejdete, ne?

Já: noooooooo...

... 870?

Jsem opravdu vděčná, že nejvíc, co se doma někdo zmůže na slavení Velikonoc je koupit trávu v květináči a vytáhnout pár ozdob, aby se tedy neřeklo.

A že bráchovi vždycky přišlo šlehání pomlázkou stejně ponižující jako mně.

ten pocit, když si uvědomíš, že na slovensku vládne SMER-SD s pellegrinim jako prezidentem a je dost velká šance na to, aby další české volby vyhrálo ANO, jež by následně teoreticky mohlo utvořit koalici s SPD.

Middle Grade Ash’s Cabin by Jen Wang Ash has always felt alone. Adults ignore the climate crisis. Other kids Ash’s age are more interested in pop stars and popularity contests than in fighting for change. Even Ash’s family seems to be sleepwalking through life. The only person who ever seemed to get Ash was their Grandpa Edwin. Before he died, he used to talk about building a secret cabin, deep…

Someone asked for my favorite books of the nearly 200 I read in 2022, so, in no particular order:

The story of a girl, a book, and secret doors. The sort of book you lose an entire evening to. Harrow is one of my favorite authors of late.

Police brutality through the lens of mythos. My review for this one was simply “I desperately need to know what comes next.”

This whole trilogy belongs on the list. Magic, family, and politics unspool in a world that leaps off the page. Rarely have I found a series so alive, I forget I’m reading.

A creepy tale of sisterhood. The eerie energy rendered this impossible to put down.

A much sadder tale of sisterhood. There are images in this book that are still haunting me months later.

A sapphic YA mystery with complex characters. Honestly, at this point, I’d read McQuiston’s grocery lists.

No best of list would be complete without Paper Girls. The comic story is much weirder and wilder than the show, but both are excellent at *getting* what it is to be a girl on the cusp of growing up.

Music, magic, and a battle for New Orleans. Fantastical storytelling at its best. I was utterly absorbed.

A mother who subsists on books fights to protect her much more complicated son. It has a dark fairy tale energy I couldn’t get enough of, and a sapphic romance to boot.

Part real-life story of a 1629 shipwreck, part invented tale of a young boy coping with grief in 1989. It’s absolutely brutal on about six different levels, but entrancing.
