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

The poor wood nymph. I really liked her.

Hunted house much?

Finally the mask has come off for a longer time.

1/3 in and I still cannot really see where this is going. However I really enjoy all this day-to-day life

Why could they not have the German checked before printing this???

A lot going on at the moment. No clear line visible yet.

Still finding my memories again for this series. People, places, happenings

Interesting. I'm digging this whole architecture theme this time.

I don't know why, but this book is taking me a while to get into. I'm just now starting to feel invested.

Hmm. Sky is a wood nymph that lives in Skygarden?

There are an awful lot of dead people already, and I'm only halfway through!

I don't want to get caught up on this series. Can't I just read them forever?

Vielleicht kann ich das Buch morgen beenden und wieder was spannenderes lesen 😅.

Bisher kommt mir das Buch wie ein Zwischenband vor, in dem fast nichts passiert 😯😕. Hoffentlich ändert sich das noch 😅. Deswegen bin ich aktuell etwas unmotiviert, weil es eher langweilig ist 😔. Dafür ist der Schreibstil wieder toll 😁

peter is such a NERD i love him

"Lesley said... she'd look like a plastic cop monster from Doctor Who. I managed to restrain myself from telling her their real name" peter you're a nerd but also same

as usual loving this... the thing i've noticed with these is that you go off one random thing and suddenly thats the entire plotline you're following so I keep needing to go back and remind myself "why are we doing this again? oh thats right ok lets go" which isnt really an issue, peter is DELIGHTFUL as always and the sciencey magicky stuff is my favourite, as always

“the four element theory of matter failed to survive the Age of Enlightenment “ omg thank you!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!

can you tell I’m so over basic elemental magic systems

just not clicking with children of blood and bone at the moment which is unfortunate because I wanted to love it but I'm going to take a break and read something I know I can connect to the writing style

Nach Band 3 habe ich ja eine längere Pause eingelegt, aber Band 4 gefällt mir jetzt schon richtig gut 😍😄

Sometimes you just need a shaggy-dog police story with bonus jazz and architecture. :)

Someday when I go to London, I might do a Rivers of London/PC Grant tour.

Nightingale said the coffee was good, so I ordered a double espresso with a cappuccino chaser.
My kind of guy

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

‘We’re here to buy some stuff,’ said Lesley.
‘Yeah? What kind of stuff?’
‘Stuff from the far off land of mind-your-own-business,’ said Lesley.

I said she could have a look around the fair as long as she didn’t talk to any strange people.
‘Okay,’ she said.
‘Or strange things,’ I said.
‘Whatever,’ she said and skipped off.
‘Or strange things that are also people,’ I called after her.

Your visual cortex does a shit load of imaging processing before the signal even gets to your brain, whose priorities are still checking the ancestral savannah for dangerous predators, edible berries and climbable trees.

Nightingale gave me the same long-suffering look he gives me when I accidentally blow up fire extinguishers, fall asleep while he’s talking, or fail to conjugate my Latin verbs.

I called it the Voigt-Kampf test even though only Dr Walid got the joke – and he had to look it up on Wikipedia.
So did I...

‘Peter,’ said Nightingale. ‘If you’d like to spend the next three days cleaning the lab then by all means keep referring to my old school as Hogwarts.’
