Im obsessed with this and I don’t want to go to dinner and stop listening.

End of part one. “The confrontation” . This book goes fast when you know the corresponding songs

The last 50 pages have all been the song “who am I”

Valjean, at last, we meet each other plain.

Just got to the point where the bishop gives Valjean the candlesticks. And just like in the musical, it got to me. The first 70 pages were slow but now this is picking up and the parts that are familiar go faster while reading.

Starting the next “loved this as a teen book series” reread

Im so bored by this book that I paused it to listen to a clip from Megan McCains podcast. And that really says something.

Started this and got 47 minutes in. But then lost the plot and now I’m restarting it all.

“If it was believable it was almost like permission” . I’m into this book. It’s very Frederik Backman coded

I really don’t know what’s happening

Okay this got weird

So far it’s Yellowface but if an identical twin took over the deceased’s life and not a rival writer. I’m into it.

I’m not loving this….is it me? I feel like this book is well hyped.

I am INTO this book. Apparently I like mystery if it’s in a world where men have a curfew.

Just finished the short story Shattered Glass that acts as a bridge between Night and Dawn Study. In this, we see Opal again on a rescue mission to get Zitora back in the series after she’s been gone on a side quest.

This is a book I loved as a teen and think about often. And now I learn it’s the same author as tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow? AND the character lived in Medford, MA

60 pages to go until I’ll become a person totally cool with change.

Took this out of the tbr graveyard but maybe things that are there are best stayed there….I’m not sure if I’m feeling this but I have nothing else to listen to in its place

A princess bride reference so early? Color me hooked.

Having this aha moment that the first book in this series is for cozy magic vibes and cottage bakers. And this one is cozy magic vibes for the people who love plants. So, if millennial culture is right and the pattern holds true, if there’s a third it’ll be for dogs/animals

Im both so bored by this book but also really interested in what it has to say

If you’re seeing this…no you’re not. (Okay so someone said this was Minotaur smut and my curiosity got the best of me….)

I know the musical is based on this memoir but every time there’s an exact line or a plot point I’m completely delighted.

Johnna, if you’re seeing this, this might be a good addition to your women vs void collection. But I’m only a third of the way in so tbd
