"He was the kind of man to climb up a mountain of dead bodies in the name of touching the sky."

"That's the thing with divorce. You can break apart, implode. Yet, somehow, in the center of those crumbling ruins, a library stands with all the knowledge the two of you ever shared."

"How shockingly unfair it was, being a child, how barbaric. Not only to have so little control over your own life but also to have no control over who was controlling you."

Just got to a part with a dead kid. I can't finish this right now.

Sweet Puppet by RAT BATH & Johanna Rose

I'm going to DNF this for now and hopefully return to it as a physically copy one day. It is just a bit hard to follow on audiobook.

Random read. PSA Microchips do not go in animal's ears lol

This is an estimation, as my hold expired, as well as my library card and I don't have the money to renew it atm. I tried really hard to finish but this was way more murder/detective mystery than cryptid creepy so it was hard to stay interested.

The way I'm straight FALLING into this book! It's a feeling I have not had in so long and it's delicious.

I usually try to get to 50 pages in a random read before dnfing but this book is kind of annoying to me. There are so many different perspectives but the chapters are so short and some of the perspectives are very abstract. Plus I don't like the writing style. So many sentences are ridiculously redundant.

"Normality is the creepiest madness there is."

Ran out of time on the audiobook. Will return.

"Oh, my father was shitty to me and mean so I cut myself to feel something or to make his words true, right? So that he wasn't just mean to me, he was telling the truth. And that made it better somehow. Or so I told myself."

"All I wanted was someone to know my depths, but everyone drowned before they reached the bottom."

I am enjoying this but I ran out of time on Libby, so I'll have to wait in the holds list again. D':

Look, I'm far from a prude, but these every-other-page sex scenes are making this hard to get through.

This wasn't terrible (I did make it to 50 pages, which is my "rule" for random reads) but it's definitely not for me and I'm going to DNF it. I got enough of the flavor to recommend it appropriately, I think. I do also admire the author's ability to make the two characters sound different in their chapters.

I really want to finish this but I think it's a bit heavy right now. :/

I'm going to have to buy this to finish it cause the library needs it back. 'XD

Dying while being forced to listen to Christmas music is indeed a true horror.

DNF'ing at 224pgs because we're not going to read it together anymore. I thought it was pretty slow and boring anyway.

DNF. I was really trying to pull through but it's just not holding my interest. I don't even know what's going on during the historical part because I'm not really interested in war.

I feel like I'm DNF'ing everything this year but that's how it goes sometimes I guess...

<spoiler>so....did she drug him or not? cause if she did they are totally glossing over the fact that she could have killed him.</spoiler>

"breath I didn't realize I was holding" x2

Begrudgingly DNFing. I understand this is a Young Adult novel and it is interesting and readable. But the logical leaps that the author wants you to take are too much for me. Including the personality of the MC herself. Also, it is a bit over the top with the traumaporn. I could write more, but I digress.

"The problem with love is that it's not enough...but it's also nearly impossible to let go of once you've found it."

DNFing. I understand I'm a bit too old for this but the terrible tropes are KILLING ME.
