Omg this is making me cry

Omg this is making me cry

You ever read something and from the first page you're captured by the narrator's or character's voice? I'm so glad I made the good choice to remedy the fact that I had never read Baldwin before.

skdfjalsdfja;lds this part is stressful (but like, good)

This book is so good and engaging and the world is really interesting

I...... is it possible that I might end up liking this book even if i dislike the main character? Jury’s still out

Not really feeling this yet, but I'm barely into it so I'll stick w it a little before deciding if it's a dnf or not.

Omg... could this be the book that lifts me out of my reading rut?? I live for hilarious (purposefully) awkward dialogue

Don't know if I will end up giving this very high stars overall but at least it's engaging and short stories that are reimagined fairy tales are easy to read lol.

Reading is really hard and I wish I could find something as magical as anything NK Jemisin writes or as fun to read as the Mercy Thomspon series or even like Kate Daniels level. Ugh I just need some really good fantasy or engaging urban fantasy to get me back into a reading rhythm again... ):

finally started reading again and i am so happy its sooo gooood

omygooooood this book is even more than i expected it to be ;_;

The only YA I've thought sounded interesting in a while, and it was finally available in the e-library wooooo!

I read a few pages before and was browsing the e-library late last night and here I am now, I think it could be pretty good.

I'd read this a lot faster but I keep post-it-noting it bc I have some maybe-not-real dream that I wanna sit down and like REALLY talk about it lol. But I love it! Wanna get back into it!

omg I just learned how to make an "exclusive" shelf on goodreads so I can make a DNF shelf and not have to have the books also on one of the basic shelves at the same time and this has CHANGED THE GAME, now I feel more motivated bc i can keep things just on DNF or "probably going to finish this later" shelves without having to keep them on to read/read/currently reading shelves yeahhhhhh!!!!

jk I'm DNFing it bc a book I actually want to read just became available lol

honestly this will probably end up as a low rating lol, i started out being unsure and like 'uh hope this isnt a quick dnf' but i did get into it enough to keep turning pages so i'm gonna keep going

let's read a romance to maybe finally finish a book again in forever

HI FRIENDS. haymarketbooks.org has a 50% off (+free ebook edition along w each physical book purchase where available) sale going on all their books until Aug 24!!!! AND free shipping on all orders over $25 in the US. The books are at really great prices and now I'm making lists and having tabs of books open that I feel like will get myself on a list lol

i love it. i'm even filling it with different colored page markers so it's easier to talk about different specific things from it when i'm done (#buddingbookstagrammer lol)

I cried a few times. Got post-its throughout. There were so many poignant passages. I mean, it's always good, and this whole trilogy is heavy, but I feel like this one like, really digs in with the Big Stuff.

I've been really enjoying this book. All of it is pretty much good, but there've been a lot of gems in the 'Fall' section (which also ended with a great, motivating chapter).

When the introduction is actually easy to read and already moves you, ya know it's good.

Yeah so I'm definitely gonna be reading this super slowly, but I've been enjoying what I've read so far and I can see this as being super useful.

Woo! So excited to read this!

dunno if to finish or leave unfinished

This is pretty easy to read and every time I pick it up I just feel so excited about teaching.

Who knows if I will finish this by the book club discussion time, but i'm really enjoying it! sooo easy to read and so full of good ideas that are gettin me THINKING

Really the most fun to read/most interesting pages are when Al is around. But any of the demons would probably still make it more interesting than the endgame romance that was pushed through the last couple books and this one.
