nightdog_barks: A white rabbit on its hind legs, a golden ribbon around its neck (Dancing rabbit)
How is it not August yet?

Finished Ben Aaronovitch's Broken Homes and loved it, although ... I noticed a few glitches. There was one bit of dialogue that I had to read two or three times (and it still didn't make sense). I'm not going to go looking for it again, but there was also this:

Despite the best efforts of the Spring Court it snowed that weekend, although it didn't settle inside London's urban heat island.

~ page 137

It had actually snowed a couple of days after the Spring Court and, despite one sunny day, the weather had stayed unseasonably cold.

~ page 158

:D

Thank you, Peter, but you didn't really need to tell me twice. *g* Also there was a stray comma instead of a period at the end of a sentence (much later in the book). These are super-minor quibbles, and I thought it was another great read in the Rivers of London series. I didn't see the Shocking Twist at the end coming at all, and I've already ordered the next volume, Foxglove Summer. :D

Now reading Thomas Pierce's The Afterlives and really enjoying it.

Temperatures are still above the seasonal average here, but the really hot streak has passed. Cloud cover today is helping A LOT.
