I couldn't get this from my library so I purchased it on Audible. It has been a nightmare to use the app and has kept losing my place. I feel annoyed like Murderbot that this stupid issue is getting in the way of my media.

This is going so slowly. Something about this book isn't working for me at all. I loved the first one in the series and inhaled the second one. This one is just so hard to pick up and care about.

This is somehow my least favourite SJM so far. Maybe I waited too late after reading the second one to get to this one. It's nice seeing my favourite characters from the other series - but I also am not seeing things from their perspective. So. They feel really far away.

I absolutely adore this series. Elements of this book touch on Hitler's Germany and oppressive governments (the whole series has this theme) is really hard to read at this time in America's timeline. I'm reading it and enjoying it, but it's hard to confront.

Relaxing meditations on humanity, environmentalism, mother earth and nature. This feels like reading the diaries of deep thinkers, who understand themselves and are aspiring for more depth.

This is really easy to read and engaging. It feels extremely fast paced. I'm not sure how we'll make it through all of the layers of Hell and close out this story?

This is turning out to be very much sweeter than I expected and heartwarming in a way that I don't expect from Stephen King.

I feel like I'm talking to Nif during a basketball game, but also somehow in slow motion. This book is a journal, a novel, a movie. I'm so thankful for it.

And to be reading this on the first day of the WNBA season? Kismet.

I finished book 1 and immediately started reading book 2. I feel so much joy being back in this world and spending time with the dreamers. And I do still miss Gansey and Blue, but in this world, they are alive.

Doing a read-along with Vladi for this one. I'm tempted to do what I tried the first time - finding all the references. It's still early enough that I can...

Just started this and already have 6 tabs to remember quotes. I love Maggie's writing so much.

I can't put this down.

Finding myself pulled to read this every moment I get.

This has been a beautiful story thus far, with politics and history running deeply through it. I love all of the family photos alongside the descriptions of them.

It's been a joyous sorrow reading this. A week ahead of Ramadan, I hope there will be a Palestine left after all of this.

A game changer.

Where is this going?

I wasn't expecting this to be so weirdly good. This is like a whodunit, noir-vibe, magic book? It doesn't sound like it should work.

And yet!

Enjoying having some calming and insightful words to review every day before I start work (which is when I read this). It's framed the day for me correctly, if that makes sense.

1 a day, every day.

Reading each entry as intended, day by day. This has been refreshing to meditate on every morning before I start my workday or weekend pursuits.

This reads so smoothly and easily.

Reading this slowly, listening to music and finding myself irritated when it doesn't match the pacing of her writing. I love how well she sets the scene, creating the visual framework for the story to breathe and grow in.

These books have legitimately changed my world. This little story of Roland's early days is so wonderful. Brings all of the feelings I loved about Wizard & Glass.

I truly never want this book to end, and wish to devour it.
