I’m unfortunately bored so far…writing is very easy to read though so I’ll give it another 100 pages before deciding if I want to DNF or not

Having so much fun with this, such an easy read/listen

Started listening to this at work today on a whim because it was on Spotify and i haven’t stopped listening since. Did not expect to immediately be so sucked into this story and the characters like I am, it’s extremely devastating but also so optimistic, I’m enjoying everything about it. Reading slump officially over because of this, super easy to listen to

phenomenal, idk how people don’t think this is rooney’s best book, I feel nauseous reading it sometimes because of how vividly she captures certain emotions

“What was it all for, the show of erudition, command of detail. Not as if it made a difference. Insurance against future shame. I was there, I served my hours, punched my time card, don’t forget.”

There’s so many open mysteries, it’d be so fun to go deep into the lore to try and solve stuff

“And for this he feels a tender wounding gratitude, a sense of blessings, that he exists simply in this body, in this mind, that he is himself, this one person, rich in priceless resources which to his conscious mind remain almost infinitely unknown.”

Ivan just like me fr (unless he does something crazy later into the book, then I don’t know him and never have)

Asoiaf brain worms

Reading a bit on my lunch breaks at work. Really enjoyed the first story “Vampires in the Lemon Grove,” sad that it’s over! Her writing is very smooth and comforting, looking forward to more.

Once again love the writing but wish there was a bit more substance different than her last two books.

I’m going to keep reading but I’m a bit disappointed so far :/ thought it would be very atmospheric but it’s pretty stale so far

I’m reading this super slow but I’m still having a lot of fun

Did NOT expect to be enjoying this as much as I am. Clarke is a really poetic author and it’s crazy how often he’s making philosophical points about things that weren’t even real at the time he wrote about them.

I’m reading super slow so I can take notes as i go and i’m glad i am. I really didn’t pay attention to the lore behind Jon Arryn or Rhaegar Targaryen until now and it adds soooo much to the overall story/reasoning for all the events. I’m so fascinated by Rhaegar as a character now, it’s crazy that he doesn’t actually appear in any of the books.

i never finish nonfiction books so let’s see if reading about knights fixes that

I was like 40% done with the audiobook but restarting with a physical copy so I can annotate it :^) A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms has rebooted my Game of Thrones obsession

fun so far!

reading for book club :^) enjoying it so far, dialogue writing style is so weird but i don’t mind it

i’ve owned a used copy of this book for ages, finally reading it as part of the good reads spring challenge “marathon reader” category

bruh this is just bad writing LOL

uh oh, i’m bored…

never had to read this one in school so doing it now :3

reading about dustin and lucas doing everything in their power to include max in the friend group from max’s perspective is soooooo cute, she’s so happy to be making friends

nice brainless reading :P been really enjoying having a throw away simple read that i can pick up when im not in the mood to lock in for the meatier books im reading at the same time. also i can’t help but still be attached to the stranger things characters ;-;

i do kinda regret not getting the abridged version because i’m enjoying this but boy is it dragging on. almost 200 pages in and the main story hasnt even started yet

just realized how similar in tone this is to the magnus archives, really enjoying it
