Louie the Master Ambusher

Feel like shes not going to get the social stimulation she needs from Jana or Cutie's parents. Shes gonna hide somewhere in giant junk filled house a lot and maybe break things when shes being hyperactive. Maybe end up locked in a room full time

Cutie's mom seems set on taking a kitten and Cutie wants Dewey so it would be Louie but I really don't think it's a good idea. They have a hyperactive dog Jana who we have no idea how will react to a kitten. Plus Louie is timid. Their house is huge, full of junk and lots of breakable stuff

Message from Cutie that her mom got a litter bot like us

One of the wasps that flew around inside while we had no windows apparently was still inside.

Also got this "Freaky Fabric" for the front desk area. In past we have done fake cobwebs with spiders that were super annoying so there are better. The desktop halloween decor is like 8 years old

CM seems to be glitching and the bandanna is clipping through her

Hope for queer resolution, a lot of her drama feels like response to dealing with expectations of compulsory heterosexuality in world where being queer is nearly unknown. But highly doubt it. Some kind of satisfying resolution would be nice

Reading new novel in spinoff series of Spellmonger books, some of my favorite fantasy books. Follows Dara the Hawkmaiden but doesn't seem to be part of her YA series like last 3? Not sure why

Shes had an extremely annoying romantic plot tumor for years in several books now so hope this wraps it up

Time is running out! Dara of Westwood, known as the Hawkmaiden, has always been caught between two worlds. Born to a humble clan of woodsmen, her unexpected magical talents had seen her apprenticed to Minalan the Spellmonger, the greatest wizard in the world, to fight for years against the goblin invasion that threatened all of humanity. She had been a war hero before her first kiss, riding giant hawks into battle in defense of her people. But the war is over, now, and Dara finds herself ennobled, wealthy, respected, admired... and completely alone. Her comrades, friends, and fellow apprentices are settling down to enjoy their hard-won peace, but Dara has few prospects for happiness now that the war is done. Her command over the other Sky Riders is in jeopardy as missions dry up, and she discovers she lacks much purpose in this new world. The sacred Flame her family adores beckons her, promising simple homelife and domestic happiness... but she knows no life without her sword Talon in her hand. While her friends dream of love and marriage, Dara's nights are filled with horrific nightmares about her violent past. Then the Goddess of Fire, Briga, takes an interest in her love life, and everything changes. Charged by the goddess to rediscover her youthful passions after a lifetime of military service, Dara embarks on a quest to fill the lonely place in her heart.. only to be distracted by a new danger lurking in the hills near her home. Some insidious force is kidnapping the poor peasant children and inflicting them with a horrible curse, while raising an army of undead, and no one but Dara seems to care to stop it. Supported by her friends Laretha and Alurra, Dara considers the few motley suitors who may have an interest in her-her childhood friend Sir Festaran, her former suitor Gareth, the roguish mage Daro-and she even flirts with the handsome young baron of Taravanal. But it's hard to take romance seriously when some dark, necromantic force is rising and preying o…
