My husband cutting the brakes and speeding us through the Cosmere (no complaints, might catch up this year(especially if Branderson is taking a break to write that screenplay…😶))

JAMES?!?!? JAMES.
Just had to go to another room in the house so my husband doesn’t have to listen to me yell and sob. I’m so upset. I know it’s only going to get worse. I was not prepared for this.

DIAGOOOOOOO🥹

Never been more invested in something that has yet to answer any of my questions. I’m more confused than when I started book 1. I don’t know if I’ll ever be un-confused. But I’m LOVING it.

Oh my gosh this book is terrible, it’s making me feel so many things and I’m only A QUARTER OF THE WAY THROUGH.
It’s amazing already. But I’ve already started crying. Not sure I’m ready for this.

Oh wow I love Anastasia

Umm why am I hooked?? This is so messy and dramatic and I want to slap every one of these characters across the face like “ummm are you actually dumb? Are you an actual idiot?” Because these decisions make 0 sense. And I’m eating it up.

I keep taking breaks to read other things because EVERY TIME I COME BACK SOMEONE I LOVE DIES. IN SOME HORRIFIC WAY. I swear, you have to be a masochist to read these books, they’re so brutal. I’m gonna have a heart attack and die before I finish.

Listened to another 2 hours of Dark Age so time for a break. Again.

Taking a (another) break from Dark Age to remind myself what joy and comfort feel like.

HOW DOES ANYONE FINISH THIS SERIES?? My anxiety has steadily escalated with every book and it never goes down!!! I’m so scared and sad for all of these characters!!! My heart can’t take it! Literally! I might die of a heart attack before I finish these books. But I can’t stop. They’re too good. I hate this.

“What was a prayer, if not creation?… Creating a wish out of despair, a plea out of anguish. Bowing one’s back before the Almighty, and forming humility from the empty pride of a human life”

This book is so adult, wow! Without the cursing every other word, and sex, or references to it, it wouldn’t be but because it has all that, I know it’s an adult book! Thank you!

The world intrigues me so I will continue on. Probably very unfair that I’m listening to this while reading The Way of Kings but, so it goes.

Have spent the last 20% of this book crying.

“The fish and I will be happy”
“For a time”
“Can any of us expect more?”

Literally, what is wrong with me? Just finished a 2000+ page trilogy and think I should start this monster of a series???

This series was actually my only real reading goal for this year so… let’s go girls?

“…your past does not define you-no matter the consequences… choice is meaningless without consequences, and a privilege we do not deserve if we will not face them”
I AM ALREADY UNWELL AND I STILL HAVE 100+ PAGES TO GO

I LOVE ALL THESE CHARACTERS, I’M NOT READY FOR THIS TO END

On a mission to read everything Schwab has ever written.

“I loved you before I ever met you. I will love you until the sun dies and when it does, I will love you in the darkness”
Ok but I hate this book (not really but it hurtsssss)

I don’t know why I do this to myself

Just desperate for something light (murder??) and mind-numbing and hopefully fun after Saving Noah, good grief.

“My dear, did you just try to prove the existence of God with your cleavage?”

“‘Too much hate will burn a man to cinders, Chevalier.’
‘Oui. But at least he’ll die warm’”
Literally just started this book and I’m stunned by the writing. Hoping all the “Pinterest-post-worthy-quotes” won’t get too suffocating. But loving it right now.

“A day would soon come, in a month or maybe two, when he would not awaken from his pain, and they would have to lay him in the Hall of the Fallen. There, he could finally give full to devotion to his jealous agony.”

I would’ve finished this book 3 days ago but I got so stressed and upset and emotional at one part, I stopped listening and couldn’t start again until this morning. What a ride. I was not prepared.

“We have grown spread, and will rage and die. And when all that remains of us is our steel monuments and plastic idols, her winds will whisper, her sands will shift, and she will spin on and on, forgetting about the bold, hairless apes who thought they deserved immortality.”

Excuse me????

Apparently, I never want to feel relaxed again. RIP me.

I love these characters so much. I am terrified.
