the things I read for my Pagebound badges

reading this so i can understand the stranger things references as if the finale doesn't come out tonight anyway

Rereading this because:
a) it's all over my Instagram feed and I have FOMO
b) I didn't like it the first time I read it, but I loved the graphic novel adaptation so maybe my taste has changed
c) I'm in a Dead Poets Society mood and this is as close as I can get right now

Rereading because I feel obligated to read more of Hazel's story which means I need to remember what happened in this one

apparently having Amie Kaufman cite one of my reviews in her newsletter even though it was one where I talked about how much I cried has paid off...
because ever since (knock on wood) I've gotten accepted for every arc request I've made for her books
a win-win I guess?

Finally finishing my physical TBR for now
(I feel bad because I got this signed a month ago and then proceeded to ignore it)

hoping I remember enough about book 1 to make sense of this one
I have notes...but as always, they're not super helpful

Picking a new favorite character and hoping this one doesn’t die on me :(

The chokehold this book has on me is quite frankly probably unhealthy

All I want to do is sit and read this book but my homework said no

Of all the books that I expected to make me cry this year, this was not one of them but here we are

My cousin will be thrilled to know that her main character to play as in Betrayal (the mad scientist) is a main character in this book as well…

Thanks to whoever returned this book to the library after 3 years so I can actually read it during the appropriate season

my class is full of Matthias haters :(

i love rereading my favorite books for class because my professor has the same taste as i do

I'm not going to cry this time, okay?

Already obsessed with this
It’s giving Anastasia meets The Merciful Crow and Little Thieves (aka all of my latest fantasy favorites)

Resisting the urge to reread my Libby annotations because I don’t remember this but got an ARC for book 2 and if I can experience book one again like it’s a first read through, I will

This feels like All of Us Villains and The Atlas Six and Dead Poets Society all wrapped up in one book
Might be one of my unanticipated favorites of the year

Libby refuses to send this book to my kindle and my phone is almost dead...
How dare all of my devices team up on me at once

Kelsier and Vin have a very Joel/Ellie coded relationship and I don't like the implications of that

On paper, this looks like it should be one of my favorite books ever, but I'm not 100% vibing with it at the moment...
But if I say there isn't enough tension, I know I'm going to get whiplash from the ending

Reading this so I can finally understand the reference in Sanderson's lectures on Youtube

New favorite Marie Lu book maybe?

What if I said I don’t think Zero is real? What then?
(I have no proof. I also did this with Annihilation and was 100% wrong.)

I didn't remember the plot of book 1, so I read the Wikipedia article and I think I remember most of it now (I certainly hope I remember the important parts)

still haven't cried yet
honestly, kind of boring

No tears yet
It’s giving Secret History but also Dead Poets Society and I’m not sure how I feel yet

I might try to keep track of how many times I cry, but I might give up if it ends up being too many

I requested book 3 on Netgalley so this better be good (if it's not, at least it's only a novella)
