Reading update, and a question

70 pages into The Lies of Locke Lamora and I am totally smitten. It has that delightful shiny worldbuilding that I love in truepenny's books, and Liz Williams' Snake Agent* (which I loved, even though I never blogged it). TDC needs more shiny things!

The question: What are the odds that chocolate sent in the mail in this weather will be anything more than a box of amorphous brown goo when it arrives?

Hrmph. I got up to blog and the cat stole my spot on the bed.

Tyop: the blur of the cow (should be crowd)
Darling: Time washes past like a river, and day by day I'm buried beneath its sediment.

So many questions about this story--what is the plot? who is the Blue Fairy? will they find a miracle, and will it have chocolate coating?
