So I think your's has the American Gods follow-up novella
which if you know your Norse pantheon, you should realise after reading that Shadow should stay the fuck away from mistletoe.

It does, but I haven't got to it yet
I'm a bit shaky on my Norse pantheon, but I'll do some wiki-ing before starting it so that i'm refreshed.

You find out Shadow's first name.
Put that into Wiki when you're done. I think the Norns say something about mistletoe while he's on the tree, though, so it's just explicitly saying something that if you're Genre Savvy you'll have worked out. A bit like the Mr Wednesday thing.

I kicked myself for about 10 minutes over the Low Key thing...

I twigged the Wednesday and Low Key thing fairly early on
Though forgot about the latter because he's not mentioned (that I recall) for a large chunk of the book.

I agree

Me neither
that said, I didn't go out at all, and I'd rather kiss my own ringpiece than kiss my stepbrother.

That would require epic levels of flexibility

If it meant not kissing my brother
I'd probably give it a damn good go. Besides, I do yoga and stuff, I can get my ankles behind my head (mostly)

Impressive!
I could once, used to be able to do the splits, but now that'd result in permanent damage.

I don't think I've ever been able to do that
just thinking about it makes me ache.
