look at my cats

my goddd, she should be at the club, not parent a 6 month old

rereading nona finally and i just noticed that cam makes her do stretches and exercises every morning and nona remarks that she can sit up without using her arms and what a shock harrow will get when she wakes up and her body is more mobile and strong because it’s been doing yoga every morning for the last few months

Sometimes a family is a ridiculously talented fighter, a brilliant necromancer who shares her body, a ten thousand year old wisecracking gunslinger, and the soul of the Earth in the body of a three apples tall warcrime.

question, what is one supposed to do after reading “My whole life, yes. Yes, forever, yes. Life is too short and love is too long.”

nona the ninth is a fucking roller coaster from start to finish. it's the third book in a series and it starts with three returning characters who were barely in book 2 and everyone else is new. It follows a gravity falls arc in tone, ie it starts as a slightly weird slice of life story and by the end they're fighting ancient eldritch abominations from actual hell, and not a moment in that transition feels out of place or jarring. our first impression of the main character is the list of people she wants at her birthday party and the first five names on the list are dogs. our last impression of her is some of the most heartbreaking dialogue ever written.

Nona the Ninth says important things like "even in the cruelest most broken world love can still matter" and "righteous fury is still fury and can be so destructive" and "mass suicide cancelled I forgot there was a dog"
