Her nephews and nieces and Jack, Peter, and Lucy?? Knowing that plot and marketing of the book that is 100% a reference to While You Were Sleeping

I gotta say reading about these ancient elves makes the 300 year old fae in my romantasy books seem like babies

Hours of reading and we finally heard of The Prancing Pony for the first time! I can’t believe Tom Bombadil isn’t in the movie

This is… the longest prologue I have ever read

20th anniversary 🫡

I’m having trouble wrapping my mind around this but… This is my last cosmere book. I will officially have read everything!!! For now!!!

Seems fitting for the spooky month

Trying to keep my expectations low for this audiobook but I’m so excited I just can’t quite help it

One of my reading goals for the year was to read my first graphic novel! And I’m obsessed with the idea that this was Sanderson’s first novel that never really became a novel or got published (until it was adapted to be a graphic novel).. just baby B Sans as a missionary in Korea scribbling in a notepad.

NOOOO part two confirming my worst predictions 🫣

First paycheck and I would’ve quit SO FAST 😰

SO SHOCKED because I randomly decided to read Sixth of the Dusk this past week… then this comes off my Libby holds and I open it today. Just after finishing Dusk. And it’s a sequel??? After just reading the post script of B Sans saying there probably won’t be a sequel? It feels so ironic but I’m happy.

“Relative to its size, the uterus can cause an absurd amount of suffering” yeah we’re going to remember that line forever

The amount of details going into these side characters is making me wonder if I’ve missed some side stories??

Am I supposed to… not like Paul? Because he’s “boring?” He just sounds like a nice boyfriend 😂 I feel like I’m missing the point

The cameos in this book are insane. It’s the younger version or parents of every character from the main trilogy? And just to be clear this is not a critique, I’m obsessed with it.

Already crying in chapter 2, I think I’m in trouble

“Because of course cancer doesn’t give a sh** whether you are a good person. Biology has no moral compass. It does not punish the evil and reward the good - it doesn’t even know about evil and good. Stigma is a way of saying you deserve to have this happen. But implied within the stigma is also an ‘I don’t deserve it so I don’t need to worry about it happening to me.’” 😳

This girl is walking such a thin line and it is STRESSING. ME. OUT.

I’d like a large order of Escapism with an extra shot of laughter please

Very embarrassed to realize that this whole series I’ve been wondering what “ducal” refers to and it’s just… relating to a duke. Which makes sense because it’s always referring to something Islington does 💀

STAHP are they going to be passing notes between the garret???

I KNEW THERE WAS SOMETHING GOING ON WITH HER!!!!! Craziest reveal of the book so far 👀 I literally had to put the book down and walk away after that chapter are you storming kidding me ending with “she was at the wedding”

If this man dies before being reunited with his wife I will throw this book across the room (I mean I’d never really because the illustrations are too beautiful but I WILL cry)

I keep coming up with crazy theories about who/what the Stormfather really is and I can’t wait to be wrong 👀 and maybe we would’ve known thousands of pages ago if Dalinar wasn’t Dalinar but it’s ok we still love him.

I think I’ve reached halfway! So I’ve basically read a full book right??

Thank you booktube and the seventeenth shard for helping me review 8 entire books this week 🫡

Ok this one was so good!!

One more summer romance to finish off the season 😆

How are these so fun and SO FRUSTRATING? Can you please just solve one problem before introducing another one? 😂😂 Also why is Finley always moving dead bodies that DON’T need to be moved?? You didn’t do it, you don’t need to cover it up this time!?
