Be Thomas Nightingale:

Show up to the climax of the book in a killer dress. Blow up a car. Explain nothing.

I'm reading the Green Man Chronicals, which has a similar premise as the Rivers of London books. I'm reading the ebook and I've just noticed that my mental voice for the narration is Kobna Holdbrook Smith who does the RoL audiobooks which is pretty funny but also kinda bizarre

oh my god, you just made me realize something because of your tags about the username poll. I looked up Rivers of London and the cover seemed familiar. Turns out I have the THIRD book of the series that I stopped reading because I didn't understand shit cause I didn't know it was a series!!!! thanks for the clue :'D

With our combined memories we have read like, what, nearly two fifths? of the ser-

HOLY SHIT, THERES 13???

Rivers of London fans, how are we doing in the wake of Nightingale being canonically asexual?

[corainne]

Due to recent developments I wanted to recommend two books for people who might want to educate themselves and/or read up on Asexuality.

The Invisible Orientation: An Introduction to Asexuality by Julie Sonder Decker is a really good primer if you don’t really know anything about the topic, it explains the basics and goes into romantic attraction and sexual activity, talks about common assumption about asexuality and is really catered towards people with no previous knowledge. It’s a decade old now, so it is somewhat dated, but still an excellent start.

Meanwhile Ace: What Asexuality Reveals About Desire, Society and the Meaning of Sex by Angela Chen talks a lot about the lived experience of asexuals, both as individuals and in relationships, I found it to be very insightful and validating, amd if you want to understand asexuals better I think this might be really helpful

If anyone has other recommendations please feel free to add them, especially fiction books, my bookshelves are severely lacking in that regard

Nell, honey. It will not matter how beautiful the river is when you die of any one of 1,684 diseases.

This book posed and answered a simple question: "What if Bertie Wooster was a wizard?"

One thing I really love about the Rivers of London series is that the narrator is this guy who is canonically interested in almost everything and periodically gets distracted during stakeouts because he stops to read a plaque, so it's very natural in the course of the narration for him to be like, "Hold that thought and let me tell you the history of this very tasteful lingerie shop in Soho."
