Heartbreaking.

Finally feeling better and able to focus on my books so back to Ms. Millhone and hopefully finishing this series off this year. 🙌

Well at least we're finally out of the bedro.... oh, nevermind.

hot dang, this is a long one but I am excited!

I got off track a bit, but I am back on my goal of finishing this series by the end of the year, 6.6 books to go. A murder mystery for fall just feels right. Also this book has been different so far because there's a lot of first person flashbacks from people she's investigating, interested to see where this leads. I have my theories, but I've been wrong the past couple of books

based on the number of "WHAT?!?"s I have said out loud, I may need to walk away from this one and come back, a compelling read, just an absolute nightmare

I was excited to read this, and while I agree with some of it, i.e. like refraining from social media until a certain age, I got frustrated with his rhetoric. Women were more anxious because of their appearances only? It couldn't be because we had more access to more perspectives and information instead of just living in our little bubbles. Plus some harmful anti-trans stuff thrown in the middle there. DNF.

This book has taken me a long time to read. As a child growing up in the church in the 90s, I am just heartbroken to see the darker side of things, things us kids didn't see. I have had to walk away many times because I believe so many well meaning people had their minds twisted and were taken advantage of by "christian" messages. Ugh, it's a hard read but I am going to finish.

The home stretch... 4 hours left! I am enjoying it though and will be sad when it ends.

30 hours and 8 minutes into a 54 hour book, there is no way I am finishing this before its due back to the library. Choosing this spot after Jocasta tells her story as a good pause until I have more time to finish it.

This was easier to read when it was the past, now that we're moving into things I remember... I keep having to walk away because I am so mad.

I started this in physical book version the week I had a sinus infection and my palatal myoclonus went away. My hold is finally available for the audiobook version and I am excited because I am not capable of watching the corresponding season until I've read the book because the books are SO much better... much more daunting when you see the audiobook length tho... 54 hours. I'm 54 minutes in.

I'll be honest, I am struggling because the last 3rd of this book is not holding my interest, but I am going to try to finish it this weekend.

I've been thinking about this series so much since reading both prequels, it's time for a re-read.

Yessss, my hold is finally available 🙌 I wish I had finished reading this when I started it in July, I have been thinking about it ever since. Restarting from the beginning...

I'm only a few chapters in and the oh we can't help ourselves/but we can't! is just too much for me at the moment, I have to step away but I'll come back.

When I was a little girl, I slept over at my Aunt Maureen's house next to a bookshelf of Sue Grafton's novels and told myself I would read them when I was old enough. I think 41 is a good age to start!

It's honestly taking me a lot longer than I thought it would to read this book, because as a person with several non-apparent disabilities, it is challenging the way I think and talk about myself. I knew it would challenge me, but there are things that are harder than I expected... not when it comes to other people, but when it comes to myself. I said it before, my therapist is going to LOVE that I'm reading this.

Dang, I'm already crying. This woman is challenging how I speak about myself, my therapist is going to love this.

Lucy has made me laugh out loud many times and I'm not sure what that says about me as a person. Good read, not a page turner for me, but it's a nice story with great underlying messages so far.

awww yeah, here we go!

I am going to recommend this book to everyone I know when I'm done but dang, this is a hard read. Marking my progress everytime I had to walk away because it was too overwhelming. I just finished the chapter on urinary issues and I tapped out 3/4 of the way through Defense. What was done to women and minorities in the name of medicine and to protect white men is literal insanity, but we should all know about it

This book has made me cry and laugh out loud with just utter exasperation. Everyone should read this book.

I have to read this in small chunks because the information is upsetting and infuriating.

I'm in my feminist era

It's tiiiime.... to finish my goal of reading all 30 by the end of the year. Already there's a new cast of hapless ne'er-do-wells in Trenton and I'm here for every minute of it.

time to read the last book in this series... I was putting it off because I didn't want it to end but my curiousity can't take it anymore. also, shout out to audiobooks for giving me my love of stories back despite my palatal myoclonus. 💙

YAY I AM SO EXCITED

the Diesel novels aren't my favorite but I'm in too deep to quit now, 1 of 3 to go!
