Girl Detective

i keep getting this instagram ad for what i assume is a romantasy novel that begins w the phrase “imagine knowing your destiny in life…is to die” n it’s pissing me off SO BAD. everyone’s destiny in life is to die. that’s like. kind of the main one.

i've got the kind of eyebags that make people in movies say 'you look like hell, detective. go home.'

I read Verdigris Deep / Well Witched when I was a kid, and it really made its mark on kid me. I was never able to find any more of her books then, but I reread it a few years ago and it was somehow even better than I remembered, so I looked her up and not only are there more books... the premises!!! I can't believe I didn't read more of these as a kid, but I'm so, so excited to read them now. I just finished Cuckoo Song (read it all in one sitting, with a brief stop to eat because that book made me so hungry). 💕 Trying to decide which one to read next!
