Aww, when the translation couldn't pick up his words 'cause they dropped an octave, I feel so bad for this little guy, omg.

"'Well, you're not alone anymore, buddy,' I say. 'Neither of us are.'“
When I say my heart meltedddd dudeeee

*"Also, until I hear otherwise, his name is Rocky“

Omg the famous Rocky appears!!! Finally!!

Additionally:
___________
“Probably controlled with a Nintendo Power Glove kind of thing inside the ship.
Man. I'm old.“

Considering that everything he just said did not make sense, yah he might be old.

(I remember what I wanted to say on page 105/106 so pretend this is up there ^)

“First off, I have about five days left (closer to six) before the engine cuts off.“
This made me start to think, if he only has five days, or so, to get to Tau Ceti, what the heck is the rest of this book going to be about?

(little did past me know, this question would be answered in approximately 14 pages) (Aliens, its about aliens)

"'How's it work??' I asked.
He pointed to the triangle. 'This is the revolver--high-tensile-strength transparent polycarbonate. And this' -- he pointed to a nook between the revolver and the outer casing - 'is where fuel comes in.'"

"And this... is a loaded g*n"

(dumb joke ik but I thought of it while reading lol)

This page explains the concept of time dilation and how traveling at the speed of light can affect your perception of time. - just thought it was cool.

(This note is also being put here in post, so I've partially forgotten what I wanted to say lol)

(Was back on this page a few days ago, just getting to logging my thoughts now)
"I can't help it, I want to do the math right now" omg he's such a nerd /affectionate

Although, I’m not entirely sure how this would work in their current setting(s), but I digress.
Ps - I might need to consult a friend on this matter (2/2)

I meant to mention this on an earlier page when Ryland brings up how he’s on a slewerslide mission, I can see why people ship Bloody Mary. They’re both alone, on a mission they won’t return from, it’s grim. It makes sense that the fan base would ship them together, make something good come out of their situations. 1/2.

I did not know that is how wavelengths or microwaves work lol

Final thoughts, great book, especially for those in the queer community or allies who want to better understand others experiences. I apologize if I didn't make sense, I'm very tired and will be promptly going to my dorm after I hit "update progress". I'm not sure if anyone can see this but me (maybe my friends on here I'm not sure), if you're reading this go read more books (I found this book at a banded book table)

The result being that everything was fine is all the more sad, like it sucks e went though all that for seemingly no reason. (2/2)

So the second time Maia gets this procedure, I was expecting it to be bad but not worse. On this page specifically, using just text to describe what's happening speaks volumes. And the next page, wow, I didn't even know a pap smear could cause someone to bleed. This one just absolutely hit me for some reason, not really sure why. The next page with eir mom literally made me cry/tear up, like wow. (1/2)

"What my body told me was that this intrusion of the outside world into my internal physical being was wrong on a level too deep for words".

I could sit here and try to dissect the art on this page but I'm no art major or expert so I'll say this. I believe this moment absolutely warranted two pages of the novel with these depictions of what the pap smear felt like for em. Having never experienced one this makes me a bit scared not honestly. The way the words are written around the subject and the subject gets smaller is, well, art. (1/?)

For now I believe I'm done with my general analysis and would like to touch on a few specific pages and what I thought about them.
(5/5)

in a lot of queer spaces and having friends whom use neopronouns (The E, Em, Eir set is called Spivak, I didn't know they could have names tbh). I am a bit conflicted on the fact that the novel jumps around in time. I love all the stories this gives us but it's also a bit had to follow. The Allison Bechdel mention on page 135 reminds me I really need to read fun home (it was a mention that I got surprisingly) (4/?)

no bearing on my gender expression (for me that's types of clothing, shaving or not, etc). Not to reveal too much about myself but I am very inexperienced when it comes to dating (having only 2 partners thus far), and decently experienced when it comes to fanfiction, much like Maia. I had also never heard of the pronoun set E, Em, Eir before this novel, despite having been (3/?)

(which I've wrote papers about in the past), getting your period, becoming a "woman", etc. are all very interesting. As someone born female it's relatable albeit differently than the authors perspective. I've often wondered about how my gender presentation affects my gender identity and, for myself, have settled on the fact that my gender has (2/?)

Honestly I've realized that there's too much to comment on taking it section by section so I'm just going to go more broadly. This book is so deeply relatable to, honestly anyone, but to me because I'm ace-spec. Although the way the author experiences sexuality and gender is different than me, I still find some likeness. The conversations about society expectations in regards to subjects like shaving your legs (1/?)

So briefly I wanna say that I love this book! I started reading it after finishing some of my Math 127 (College Algebra Expanded) homework, I finished the book in a little under 1 hour, 45 mins. I'm going to go back through the book and point out some notable moments (before I have to leave the library and actually sleep).

So yah, those are all the predictions I can think of right now. I'll come back if I think of anything else. I do want to mention that I, like Alex and Conner, wonder about this magic system and I really hope that I'll learn more about it in the rest of the book. For now I'm signing off, happy reading, Kitten yeettttttttt!! (idk if that was cringe or not, but oh well lol)

Also, The Evil Queen may be trying to use the wishing spell to find her true love she lost long ago. Maybe she is going to the real world to find him. Also, the letters Alex and Conner found in Snow White's castle, in The Evil Queen's old room, were love notes, possibly between The Evil Queen and her true love. She said that her true love had been taken away from her, but I'm not sure what that means just yet. (4/?)

That would also explain how their dad knew about the walking fish and the curvy tree, because he lived in The Land of Stories. It would also explain the reason their grandma gave them the book in the first place and how their grandma and dad are obsessed with fairytales because they live/lived in one. (3/?)

The man who wrote the journal, is Alex and Conner's dad. He went to the outside world, fell in love, but had to return to The Land of Stories. He used the wishing spell to get back to his true love in the real world, again, it fits. Also, I think that Alex and Conner's grandma is the fairy godmother, that would make their dad from the fairytale world. (2/?)

Hey, fyi I'm not on page 2 now, I'm on page 348. I'm formatting it this way incase I write more on specific pages. So, like I said in the previous post, I'm going to talk about some predictions before I finish this book. Froggy is the lost, youngest prince, Charlie Charming. Charlie disappeared one day and Froggy said he hasn't been in the outside world for a while cause he was cursed by a witch, it just fits. (1/?)

So, this is my first read of this book. It has been recommended to me many times over the years by my cousin/uncle Dillon (yah I know, confusing lol) but now I am finally reading it. So, I started this book anywhere from the 23rd to the 30th of January. I will also mention that I know some spoilers that Dillon has told me. I have a few predictions, but I'll get to those in the next post

Ok, first off, I was reading this book for my English class. So, it took a while to finish, and I barely had the motivation for it. So, I'm not sure if I'll write down all my thoughts for it or not, who knows. So yah, we'll see.

Hmmm yes this is the way people think about their enemy, yep. /j

I just love the way magic is described, makes it feel more real. That’s all lol, sorry I haven’t updated in awhile btw.
