Still moving slow, but savoring it. Not moving slow because it's a struggle. I just love this horrible, dark, murdery world.

"If you want to take back what's yours from them what took it. If you're the kind who doesn't forget, and doesn't forgive. Who wants to understand why the Mother has marked you."

I'm moving slowly. But GOD, it feels so good to be in this world again.

Coworker downloaded the audiobook. I told him I won't get excited until he's minimally 50% through, as he's a) had this on his Audible list since I read it the first time, and b) he's abandoned EVERY OTHER BOOK I'VE RECOMMENDED HIM.

Boss also abandoned this when I first handed it to him because it was too dark, but said he may be willing to try again.

"Did your mother ever teach you to swim, little one?"

I have read this series. And if I were not at work, the scream of rage that wants to come out at this scene is so, so strong.

"It's truth to say in all save solitude - and in some sad cases, even then- you can always count on the company of fools."

Happy sighing. I love this book. I miss this feeling.

Let's not get our hopes up. But I have been wanting to re-read this in physical form to tab the hell out of it, so let's.....just....see how I do.

Finally got a second bookshelf into my bedroom, which means reorganizing my books, which means reorganizing my to-read-owned shelf. Don't get excited that I'm active again, reading is still definitely not happening.

I am just....not reading. Anything.

I hate that for me. I HATE THAT FOR ME. I'm not even beta reading pages sent to me the week of Thanksgiving. HATE THIS. A LOT.

Reading and knitting at work like it's 2012. Also, FUCK YOU, JOE HILL WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING TO ME.

This is due back to the library yesterday and IT'S GOTTEN TO A REALLY GOOD PART and I have *never* thought audiobooks were less than physical but switching to an audiobook now feels like failure.

I used to be able to burn through books like this in a couple of weeks, tops. I am so sad.

This is due to go back tomorrow. Over 400 pages left. I am noooooot making it.

I'm hyper aware of how little time I have before this has to be back to the library. Joe Hill writes so well, reading his books is like drinking an ice cold coke. Satisfying and so easy.

But also, like, the coke has chunks of LSD in it and every now and then a dragon eats someone.

I made Jeremiah do math to figure out how much more of the book we have left, and we discovered we have two more days (2 chapters each) before we're done. We're super excited to see how this ends.

I NEED PEOPLE TO START DYING SOON OMG I HATE THESE PEOPLE.

IT'S SO GOOD ALREADY.

Jeremiah is not pleased that every time we hit an especially juicy chapter ending, I stop the book for the night. I can't help it.

I think this belongs on a bookshelf I didn't think I needed to make, "The movie was better". Only the second one I've ever had that needed that shelf.

It's not surprising that Cher's life story would be a dense read, but jesus, this woman did a lot before she ever turned 14. It's a good read so far, but it feels like I've been reading it for months. No wonder she broke it into two parts.

I have no fucking idea what's happening here and I'm living for it.

I am....strongly considering DNF'ing. Maybe I could just....skip to the end. I'm really not happy about not wanting to finish this.

I had not considered that, when selecting a book for Jeremiah and I to both read for the first time together, I wouldn't be able to DNF it when it turned out to be duller than a Play-doh™ knife.

Jeremiah got this from school, and since he's really enjoying doing chapter books together, I decided to pick one I haven't read before. So far, it's like sitting with my feet in lukewarm water. Pleasant enough, but I wouldn't be sad to walk away and leave it behind. Hoping it continues to warm up.

Jeremiah: "If I'm really good tomorrow, could we read three chapters instead of two?"

I'm going to miss this when he's too cool to read with me at night.

Reading this to a kid who's never read it before, I feel the suspense of the chapter ends like I don't think I even did as a kid. Much cliffhanger, much enjoyment.

Oooh. A chapter at Angola. (Louisiana State Penitentiary) That's fun.

(I am taking way too long to read this, compared to how good the book is)

I caught up on some Netgalley reading while my plane was circling Orlando for FORTY MINUTES last night. Gotta love work conferences. Reviews ahoy.

I just buckawked aloud laughing, and proceeded to give my coworker a fast plot run down before explaining a scene involving a dog, a piece of cheese, and a dog's proclivity to roll around in messes.

I am going to assume this is supposed to have a bit of dark humor to it.

I'm really intrigued and into it, but I wish each chapter didn't end in a

My reading has been so spiky. I am strongly considering trying a beloved book re-read. I've got a few bouncing around inside my brain like the old windows screensaver. Hunger Games, so I can get to the two prequels? Nevernight because murder is always fun? Strange the Dreamer because I've been away so long I've forgotten the beauty? Decisions, decisions.

Our serial killer went from icy to fluttery eyed interest in 5 milliseconds and the cop's buying it....because she's hot? Really? Am I dealing with a dumb cop and dumb killer book? Because that's a terrible combination.
