This is not for the faint of heart, it’s disgusting and cruel, but it’s also a great experiment and discussion into the human psyche and how much we can accept when we’re told what to accept, despite our own convictions

It's a perfect end for the Brown Sisters trilogy, and I shamelessly wish there was either

• Fourth brown sister, or 
• A spinoff for Gigi and Shivani, or
• A  prequel for Martin and Joy. 

Truthfully any of these options would suit me just fine

He Who Drowned the World by Shelley Parker-Chan
Did not finish book. Stopped at 53%.

Shelley Parket-Chan is a great writer, incredible, and not finishing their work has nothing to do with their writing ability. They excel at writing, but my brain sometimes doesn't excel at consistency, I'll probably come back to this and finish this, but not right now. Hopefully tho, before the year runs out
