Confession: I have had the hardback edition of The Book of Dust on my bookshelf for years but never took off the book jacket until last week. This is what was underneath! I think I'm too used to dust jackets being the pretty thing that cover plain, borin… instagr.am/p/CO0Ii1ErX5A/

@mrdarcythemainecoon was not willing to pose for photos today, so you have a book stack of some of my favourite talking animal books instead. 😅 Darcy is pretty chatty though, particularly when he wants you to do something. Or when he thinks there may… instagr.am/p/CPQqd2KMgZ4/

I am actually finally reading this and it is SO good. Though no spoilers please as I'm still only halfway through! It took me a while to get into the worldbuilding (i.e. figure out what on earth was going on) but it's one of the things I love most about … instagr.am/p/CPTLzwQsKnu/

Spoiler discussion alert!!⁠ ⁠ So, who do you think is more villainous - Cardan or Jude? (I know that Madoc is kind of made out to be the series villain but I think these pair do a pretty good job by themselves!) I was thinking Jude... But I love how … instagr.am/p/CPVpKWBgO-Y/
