‘I want you,’ she said. ‘I’m willing to take the risk of association.’
It made it sound distant and impersonal. Like people preparing to break the law together instead of dating each other.

I MEAN. One can do both, surely 😆

Me: I have a system where everyone has a personal name an a literary name.
My brain, as I'm reading through it: if it was historically accurate everyone should also have a style name and a posthumous name.
Me: BRAIN NO
(it's already complex enough when one character is called one way by some people and another by others)

The plan was proceeding as it should. Quỳnh could deal with unexpected surprises, with unexpected feelings.

Hhahahaa you sweet summer child you definitely cannot deal with THESE feelings.

‘I’m not looking for a spirit to sweep into our lives and fix all our problems.’
Quỳnh was watching Hoà, her face unreadable. ‘You’re dismissing me because of my clothes?’
‘No. Just saying we didn’t ask for anything from you.’

Last day of the year but I still managed to start and finish 1 more book! After becoming enamored with the The Red Scholar's Wake by @aliettedb I picked up The Tea Master And The Detective, a novella set in the same universe. Again, I can't recommend it enough! Loved the characters, the writing, and the deeper(!) dive into the deep spaces where faster than light travel happens.

It's midnight and I just finished reading "The Red Scholar's Wake" by @aliettedb and can't recommend it enough! Spent the past few hours immersed in it because I just had to see it all the way through. So many feelings!

I'm gonna miss all these characters, damn it! But at least I can already pick up other books set in the same universe.
