Sweet flaking rust, the second book did not go into the direction I was thinking it will go to. The title made me think it will be "wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey stuff", but the third book is still beckoning me, so. Fingers crossed?
There are a few things I wrote down in my notes, but mostly it went from "I WANT TO KNOW MORE" about this and that, writing down their swear words or picking up on the foreshadowing that happened later in the book.
One little romance mention got my attention - I too would swoon if somebody got me books and snacks.
One last, unrelated note - are you familiar with the saying *'the devil couldn't reach me, so he sent me a...'*? Well, somebody is sending me ideas to read stories about love and revenge and morally grey characters. That's it. That's the story I've been reading this year.
