"The Senate today have voted to make me a god in Palmyra. They'll put a little statue to me in the temple, and people will bring offerings to me, asking me to bring rain or cure their father's gout. Tell me, Livia: if I'm a god, even in Palmyra, how do I cure gout?!" Augustus, "I Claudius"

I don't mind bananapants but the idea that the author thinks I'm going to buy a books based on "A hilarious urban fantasy with over 1,600 five-star ratings on Amazon" irritates me. Also subtitles that say things like "A gripping and dazzling historical novel set in 1930s Berlin from the bestselling author of [some book that I've never heard of]". Let me find out if it's really gripping and dazzling. Don't tell me that upfront and expect me to believe it.

Just finished listening to that last night! I would like more of these characters, please. I’m happy with the ending but I’m so curious about what their lives will be like going forward

Meanwhile I’m still reading HR fanfic (though I figure I’ll read the new Penric on the plane Thursday) and wondering if there’s a limit to the number of subscriptions you can have on AO3 because all the stories are still being written!!
