think this is probably my fifth time re-reading. first time reading as an audio book! and a lovely one too! full cast of voice actors and phillip pullman himself narrating!

lyra is such a strong fierce and young protagonist. fell in love with her, pantalaimon and everyone else all over again! especially bittersweet after watching the hbo series and coming back to HDM as a 20 year old and seeing how my perspective on things evolve.

ahhhh phillip pullman, you were right about so many things about growing up.
