Just took this off the shelf, knowing that we’ll be reading it for the January episode of @onebrightbook.bsky.social. Tempting to start rereading now. But I think I’ll wait for the December holiday break.

In other news I listened to the @onebrightbook.bsky.social episode on this today and it was SO GOOD. It's exactly the kind of book that you read and then at the end you're like, wait, what, I need to talk about it or hear other people talking about it, and the conversation on the ep was perfect.
