Status Updates From Broken Homes (Peter Grant, #4)

Random Penguin, you can't stop me!!! This copy is MINE!!!

*wallows like pig in mud*

Put on pause as it doesn't make sense without reading the first three,

Nooooo!

These books always make me laugh!

I shall be bereft again when I finish this book.

I love this series

Starting to get a bit wound up for whatever happens next, given all the vaguely-spoiling warnings I've had, such ah "don't read this til the next one's out if you don't like cliffhangers"... I am curious what Molly was up to. And I'm sort of growing to like Varvara, past deeds aside. Well then. Book going to bed - I'll end this in daylight. Especially given I live in an apartment block myself! Goodnight!

Gonna be hard pressed to not rip through this in the next 24 hours.

Actually got to page 6 before I went to bed last night.

I'm not saying I've actually started reading it yet but I will before I've gone to bed.

A twist in the tale It does not get better than this

Just starting to get going but enjoying revisiting the well known characters again.

this has become my vet-waiting-room book. this may be coloring my perception of this book, which is that it is rather slow.

"And you don't get to do cool martial art stances while you do the spells. Although me and Dr Walid have speculated that the formae somehow represented the interaction between our electrochemically powered nervous system and the magical - field? Subspace dimensional manifold? Banana flavoured milkshake? - that creates observable effects in the material world.

:)

okay, you guys. happy now? you can follow along in glorious detail as i catch up with y'all.

‘Fuck me,’ I said to Toby. ‘We’re living in Isengard.’

Somebody’s been watching way too much Game of Thrones.

Pocket Quidditch - ROFL.

I couldn't wait for this book to get to America! Just started reading it and already sucked in.

... the ending is clearly going to be the ending of me, too.

Damn you! I'm craving book 5 BADLY now.

Peter and Leslie living in... An estate council flat with Toby. Unexpected development! :-D I like the (possible) wood nymph living in the garden of the Council estate.

"Lesley says she could write a book about my relationship issues, only it would be long, dull and pretty similar to all the other books on the market."

"The mist was thick enough that you practically had to be riding on the thing [carousel] to make out the expressions on the faces of the horses... I made a point of watching the ride for at least ten minutes, just to make sure nobody was aging backwards." Score! Bradbury reference!

As usual with the Peter Grant books, I was sucked in and losing sleep because I always want to "just finish this paragraph/page/chapter". Worth all the rough mornings. :-D

ok you peeked my interest now, what is going on with the buildings?

I'm laughing out loud at the Margaret Thatcher-Ronald Reagan joke.
