FarrellI have finished #WhiteIsForWitching & while I could not honestly say what the hell that was all about, it was atmospheric af. That book exists in weather all its own.
Onwards, to #TheStoriesOfEvaLuna by #IsabelAllende which was chosen by my dog.
I am reading #WhiteIsForWitching by #HelenOyeyemi & it's going quite well, by which I mean terrible things are happening. Mmm, lovely.

Ollie Francis"It turned into a blandly sweet smell, like milk, at her navel, melted into spice in the creases of her elbows, then cocoa at her neck."
- White is for Witching, Helen Oyeyemi
Scent is underrepresented in good literature.
