I was ready to BAWL but 1.) I didn’t realize the sad part was so early and 2.) I read Blood Meridian this

Starting phase 3! There’s few things I love more than going into a book blind. This is riveting !

Noooooo!!!!

So far so good! I am so very grateful for the added punctuation. I have such a hard time reading Faulkner, but I adore his writing. Borrowed from my boss ☺️

I’ve been listening to the novels that were adapted into my favorite shows and movies! Enjoying this a lot so far and it is very interesting to see what changed for TV

Reading this for book club with my gal pals! Once again- not my usual style, but it is a really fun read so far :)

This is a really weird read for me! I have critiques, but this is not my usual genre! I also tend to avoid fiction in which social media even exists, and that is a central theme in this book. The overarching story has definitely kept me hooked so far. Still, I can't stand the protagonist, which hurts as a 20-something female graphic designer lol! Her story is wild nevertheless.

Not impressed by the writing style, but intrigued by the story! I hope the main character becomes easier to root for, but I do understand the points being made. Will definitely be finishing this one :)

Love love love! I think I am ready to push through the rest, but big anxious about what the heck is going to happen. I assume it'll be exactly what Owen thinks will happen.

Hhhhhhhh I’m so invested I want to read faster, but my brain won’t let me

Still so stinkin good

I have not made it very far, but I am completely and utterly charmed by this book. It is rare that I get to read something so heartfelt yet so laugh-out-loud funny. Owen Meany is such a novelty, and Irving has written him beautifully. This is another long one, by my standards, but I have no doubt that it will keep my interest as I work my way through. Stay tuned :)

I was going to make some snarky comment about McCarthy rediscovering the word “selfsame” but he just reminded ME about lugubrious so it’s all good

Oof!

Record use for the word “selfsame.” I believe we are at number 4 😂

This isn’t a jab! I am obviously not a writer, but it’s not a word I hear much so it’s presence is standout

Love that mister nice guy thinks things like… “all I want is for a woman to make me a sandwich and not ask any questions”… and yells at customer service reps 😭😭

I am really enjoying all of the beautiful little moments in this book!

They WOULDNT :(
