WCL Large print edition - page 440 of 813. Chapter titled Chemical Menace. "Blome was no fool"

"The Road to Wannsee" Chapter start.
A long, detailed, harrowing read that can't be done in big chunks.

Up to the segment called "Your Britain - Fight for it now!" in the "End of the Garden Party" chapter.
Would have gotten much further along in the last 48 hours had it not been due back today I suspect - my brain didn't want to get into it when I started it so late in its rental period!

I genuinely hope Hannah Rose Woods has good security, because BOY is she going to upset some people.
Loving it.

At Chapter 8: The Seige.
A really good book, but my brain has not been in a reading-friendly place, and there is a list of 55 other people waiting on this at the library.

"Political thinkers often bound together conceptions of the body with conceptions of the state" (Finished this paragraph)

Gutted to have to return this to the library, its an AWESOME book, but I got distracted by stuff on my kindle while on holiday and ran out of time.

So, white face paint has gone from being for peace (in the last book) to for vengeance (early in this book) and back to being for peace??
I'm confused.

Not 10 pages ago, Brianna was with Jamie when she met Rachel and gave Jenny a hug.
Now Rachel is surprised by how much Brianna looks like Jamie, and wonders how Jenny will react when she finds out the family is here?
Who proof-read this?!?

Oh, er.
Already seeing conversations that make no sense except to remind readers of things we already know...

Absolutely slamming the interpretations of Paul in the modern church.
Had to return to the library, and have so many other things to read at the moment, so will come back to later.

Genuinely enjoying the alternative perspectives on what was happening in the time between the Golden trio leaving Hogwarts and the Battle of Hogwarts. Huge cast, but having read Diana Gabaldon books, that's no issue :)

Returning to the library as I am out of time. Took me sadly too long to get into, as its a really interesting read. Some seriously harrowing stories.

Why do I always struggle so much with parenting books, even when they're super relevant and actually quite easy to read?

Pondering how much of a reference book you need to have read before you can claim it as read...
Given the piles I currently have for the history assignment due next week.

Yet again ran out of time before this was due back to the library.
Darned history assignment reading getting in the way!

Finally re-requested from the library! This one got temporarily forgotten about as it went into the vanishing space of unavailable books from the central library collection after it closed.

Re-requested from the library. Currently out on loan with one reserve ahead of me

Ran out of time to finish before its due back at the library - as a new book, I couldn't renew it. Only 130 pages of actual reading to go, so this will be a reasonably quick finish when I get around to ordering it back again later in the year.

Pausing here because this is due back to the library. Also, it's not what I feel like reading right now.

Ran out of time before this was needed back at the library as someone requested it. Will get out again soon!

Out of time and have to return this to the library. Will return this to my to-read list

Noting this as I have to return this to the library this week, and will return this to my to-read list for coming back to later

Gutted at a year + without my main library, but having 6 hours notice of the closure meant I was able to get in and load myself up with 12 books I've had on my to-read list for a while. Lets see how long that lasts me!

"I didn't want them ever to believe that life began when the man of the house arrived home. We didn't wait for Dad. It was his job now to catch up with us"
More important lessons I wish I had learnt much earlier...

"Failure is a feeling long before it becomes an actual result. It's vulnerability that breeds with self-doubt and then is escalated, often deliberately, by fear"
Oof.

Punch in the guts from the first paragraph of the preface:
"WE may perhaps put this in perspective in the present case by saying that in the actions here recorded, about 20 human lives were lost for... every letter, in this book"
Its more than 400 pages long...

harrowing so far, definitely easier to read in small chunks at a time!
