Santa, Gay Monks and Pirates, heists, international conflict, humor, fascinating historical references, what more could you ask for.

I did not anticipate this book to sound so smart, be so horrific, hilarious, and also just interesting.

Ryan and I were listening to this in the car and were both gasping in horror and laughing like crazy

Spotify kicked me out of being able to listen to this due to their stupid "15 hours a month audiobook access" BS. so this is on hold for me until the new year 😭

So far this is not for me at all. But I am switching between audiobook and physical to try and brute force it.

"Steer clear of me, little crow," he muttered, his eyes piercing, flaying her open. "You might be a luring siren but I'm no ordinary sailor. I'm a mad pirate and I'm trying to resist your call. If I land on your shores, I will plunder and take away everything worth having. Be very careful giving me those eyes."

WHO DOES HE THINK HE IS? THATS A CRAZY THING TO SAY to *ANYONE* let alone your *STUDENT* LMAO

I didn't think I was getting that attached to the characters. Then I finished chapter 16 and almost cried, I wish this was an indie movie so bad. The atmosphere is so perfect, it is so focused on the human spirit and the beauty of memories even when you don't remember them. God damnit. This book is going to make me cry I just know it.

I am really enjoying this so far! I don't know the type of story this will be exactly, but I'm finding the storytelling and what is happening very compelling!

I have 11 days to read 274 pages. At around 25 pages a day I shall attempt to complete on time 🫡

It is interesting reading a story that very clearly had the story/math figured out long before any concept of characters. The story is carried very heavily by the plot/science itself and the characters are just devices to tell that story, no one in this story feels real.
I am still very much enjoying it and will be gladly finishing it, it just is odd for me.

I ended up ranting to Ryan for over an hour when I got home about the events I read yesterday

I have to travel for work soon so I'm hoping to put a good chunk in this this week!
