Currently Reading: A Marvellous Light, by Freya Marske

Hi, friends,

I picked this one up last night, and now it looks like I’ll be getting nothing done until I finish it? Good thing that I’ve got Mondays off.

The light was turning towards dusk and there was barely a breath of breeze to stir the leaves. Birds yelled from the hedges and bushes as they walked.

“So much for the quiet of the countryside,” said Robin. “Looks like a pastoral scene by any artist from the past two centuries; sounds like a fish market.”

—A Marvellous Light, by Freya Marske

This quote doesn’t feature any of the actual fantasy elements of the book—or the romantical ones—but it accurately describes what we wake up to every single morning, so it made me laugh and laugh.
