Welp. I knew this was a novella.. but in a 350+ page book, I expected Ghost Camera to at least be longer than 100 pages? This story itself was promising, but these other random ‘shorts’ are kind of all over the board. Trying to make it through ~

4.5 ⭐️

Undoubtedly understanding the Kristin Hannah hype 👏🏼

10 days left to read just over 800 pages.

I’m too slow for this

Woah woah woah. 1,030 pages??
I was (am) so excited for this one, but holy s-

Ebooks should come with a warning label 😶

My my. Even when the story is dark, V.E. Schwab’s writing is pure poetry

Omg. First Freida I don’t dislike!!! (So far?)

Although TW - SA and definitely skipped almost an entire chapter. Yikes. Besides that, it has potential

This is a new release, I thoroughly don’t remember requesting it and I am very confused? But Libby delivered.. so I guess we’ll give Freida another shot 😬

Holy moly, this book is fantastic. Praying it keeps going strong and pulls through all the way to the end 🤲🏻

Thinking of my favorite books from the last few years, I finally just noticed the trend in myself of loving literary fiction novels that I, for some reason, rarely actually find myself reading.

So! I’m gonna be catching up on the trending LF novels now that I realized I loved the genre, so if you’ve got recs, please lmk 🥲

This book has my whole heart, and if it ends sadly.. I think I will simply break into a million pieces

Man, I really should pay more attention to book tags. I didn’t even know the main character in this was queer! Best surprise ever in a book I was already excited about 💃🏻

Sadly lying here sick and bed rotting for the holidays, missing all the time with my family.. but Libby just sent me two loans that are ready after being requested 54 WEEKS ago, so I guess life isn’t that bad

“Go to hell.”

YES MAAM 👏🏼

Reading a series with each book hundreds of pages long always makes me such a slow reader lol. Trying to keep everything/everyone straight, including my ADHD being the largest obstacle.. geez Louise 🤦‍♀️

Im tryin guys, I swear 🐌

One thing that literally never fails? Libby saying “several months wait” on all holds. So, I start a new series that I already have!

What notifications did I just get?
“Your book is ready!”
… on THREE of them 🫠

Was I supposed to read this first? I thought I was told read it second but either way it feels like it would’ve been wrong 🤔

Alright, jumping on the bandwagon this one finally! hopefully I can still get myself to love it without being turned off by all of this religious talk

I submitted a help ticket for this because the download stopped working a month ago already and I think it’s safe to say I lost the ARC 😭

ah well. I’ll buy it because Shawn is amazing. To be continued!!!

Man do I love Dervla McTiernan

T Kingfisher included free of credit with audible plus through July 1st?!! Yes please!

Reading about doctors doing crime scene recreations on cadavers while I’m trying to eat my dinner 🥴🫠

I forgot I requested this on Libby almost 4 months ago, so yay for random presents!?! Trying to fly through it so I can get back to the books I actually had planned this month 🏃🏻‍♀️

Idk why audible rec’d this to me, but the narrator doesn’t suck and someone compared it to stranger things in the reviews on fable? So I’ll give it a go 🤷

AGH, accountability post- I am finishing this TOMORROW. It’s so good, but I’m too sleepy of a human & am struggling finishing this with enough consciousness to actually comprehend it. I keep rereading the same dang chapter with my eyes half closed 🥹
