I love a story about a woman who tries to run from her past but it keeps dragging her back. I loved all the different types of faeries and their rules and chants, even if I sometimes got confused because I know next to nothing about the myths.
Also I sort of ship Toby with someone and I hope to see more of that relationship even if it never becomes romantic.

This was a really fun fantasy heist book that made me laugh. It also had many twists I didn't expect, with the two sides constantly out-thinking and one-upping each other.
My only major complaint is that the shapeshifting unicorn character is hella creepy about the underage virgin guy.

I read this book years ago and didn't remember much. On second read, I liked a lot of things, and I think I might actually continue the series this time, although I'm still really uncomfortable with how the mentally ill mother is portrayed. The last few chapters really go HARD on the horror though, like wow.
My library has a blind date event where you pick a wrapped-up book based on a few keywords. I picked this based on "satire", "undertaker", "romance", and the fact that it's short. From the cover, I thought it would be about vampires or zombies maybe, but it was a realistic novel instead.
It started out well, but in the end I didn't like it that much unfortunately.

One day, gravity on earth suddenly became a fraction of what it is now. Twenty years later, humanity has adapted to its new low-gravity reality.
The concept of this story is just amazing. Living in a world with such low gravity is both awesome and terrifying, and that is shown already in this short issue. I loved the little details, like kids being bound to their parents by leashes so they don't fly off into the sky. I'm excited to see what's next.
(Points off for the fridged mother pretty early on.)

me: I know this short story is a prequel so it technically doesn't have spoilers, but it is recommended to be read after book 5 for best emotional impact, so I really shouldn't read it early because I'm only about to start book 3
me, a few hours later: yeah actually fuck that, I can just re-read it after book 5

This story reinforced the feeling that Tybalt is my favourite character ever. Also, ouch.

Dream Daddy: A Dad Dating Comic Book

I received an ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
If you have already exhausted all dialogue options in Dream Daddy and miss all the humour and wholesome gay/bi dads, try checking out this comic. Or at least that's what I did.
For a Dream Daddy comic anthology, there was surprisingly little romance, but lots of friendly bonding the different dads, which was almost better. After all, we get plenty of romance in the game itself, but do we get Robert stalking Damien because he thinks he's a vampire, or the dads playing D&D together? No, we don't, and that's why this comic exists!
My only complaint is that there wasn't enough Lucien.

At first glance, Roam is your typical high school romance story: new girl arrives at the school, popular boy is immediately interested in her, popular boy’s bitchy ex-girlfriend goes on to bully new girl for the entire year… You know how it goes. Only this time, the new girl happens to be homeless, and next to worrying about homecoming, she also has to worry about her little sister getting enough food and not freezing to death in the van they’re living in.
