If I finish this book before the end of the year, then I will truly know miracles can happen

Not trying to be dramatic but this is the best book I’ve read in the past years so far

I’m sick to my stomach rn

my jaw is on the floor

just when I thought this book couldn’t get any more insane, it’s now a murder mystery book??

Wait why is this so good and why didn’t I read this when I was 10???

Every single chapter brings a new insane plot twist that I could not ever imagine happening. I’ve witnessed a multiverse of lives and I’m not even close to being done

I’m on page 1,137 and am only just now understanding why this book is called Voyagers. Ridiculous.

my jaw has dropped every 10 pages LIKE WHAT DO YOU MEAN

I’m flabbergasted. How could so much happen and I’m only 48% through??? I’m exactly on page 1,000 (Libby version) 😭

This author uses so many words that I’ve never even seen used in a sentence before and I have been keeping a list of all the new words I’ve learned (or have seen for the first time in a sentence) in this book so far:
1. Ignominiously
2. Roughshod
3. Asseveration
4. Peregrinations
5. Dishabille
6. Ambrosial
7. Peremptorily

Hate to say it but this is a DNF for me. I fear I’ll never get through this. If someone has a children’s bible with pictures, please let me borrow it. I need to understand the lore of this book and why ppl make it their identities

I feel I have journeyed through many lifetimes and have still somehow only made it 16% of the way through this book

I’ve been reading this every night. I’m still somehow only 7% of the way through. Cruel

the public library only let me check this out for 14 days and it’s 870 pages?! Do they think I’m speed reader???

I’ve never read a book where every 25 pages I have to look up the definition of a word before. I think the author is making up words though?? Bc most times, I’ll look up a word and Libby Dictionary will say “unknown word??”

This book is SO LONG

I’m deeply disturbed once again by the actions and detail of said actions in this book. I push forward with grit.

Wait… just learned that a female American goldfinch is brown. Who knew

she’s a 20th century woman drinking a bottle of scotch while pregnant ??? but WHYYYYYY

There’s so much happening, I’m getting whiplash. I’m obsessed

Today I learned that chimps can get polio and omfg it’s so sad when they do

omg I’ve never read this. academic purposes only

I’ve always put this off because I assumed it would be super technical and kinda boring… WRONG. I’m hooked. Halfway through in one day. Jane is a phenomenal writer and storyteller

I started to go numb from the environmental doom and gloom about a year ago, but this book has single-handedly revitalized and radicalized me again I FEEL AWAKE AGAIN

ok Im radicalized now

Ehh. Nothing will top good girl tbh

Yes, I reread the book in the last two days because I felt I didn’t savor it enough the first time around
