KOBO running out of battery on the bus does not happen with physical books!!! (Now to be fair, I couldn't have read the physical version, bc half the trip I was standing)

Now onto the book, really loved Jamie here, realizing what I don't like of him in a romance setting, I really like in him as a leader!! Him standing up for his people, telling them he'll look after them, no matter the side they're on!!! LOVED it!!!

Jamie saying I never believe you unless I see it with my own eyes, and people still feel shocked when I say I dislike him!!! This jealousy fit over John Grey couldn’t be less attractive…

WHAT??!!! I remember my dad asking me about this reveal when it happened in the show, and I remember googling it and I thought it was only a show thing, I found no book references!!! But it's here!!! The possibility is here - also the explanation is more clear that anything I read online!!! Also I LOVE Frances so much!!!

I know people hate me for this, but ahhh, Jamie talking about Frank, and finally seeing a picture of him just makes me so happy!!! Yes, I question some of Frank's behavior, but I still really love him, and his love for Brianna, and I really like the idea that he wrote this book believing one day would travel to the past and find the love of his wife's life!!!

I'm putting the book on pause, because I'm not in the mood for it... I think it's just too heavy... taking note that I'm on chapter 4 since I'm returning my book to the library

They named the dog Bluey!!! After a Disneyland reference!!

Questionable things I did as a preteen was enjoying Howard Stern - the fact that I never thought to question the types of question he was asking of his guests

The best man in fiction may be gone, but his wife is here, and I sure hope Jenny stays for the entire book!!!

I'm finally picking this up, because with the last season out, the internet has made me curious about what happened to these characters... Now I read no8 almost ten years ago, which means starting this one, I could have sword that Jem had just kidnapped and not that was a storyline that had been solved...

It's very interesting to be reading about things that happened when I was not born or a toddler/small child, and to them see what became prevalent in pop culture, and especially how!!! Because as a preteen/teen one of the only things I knew about Pamela Anderson was that she had a sex tape, and it took me to right now to learn that it was literally stolen from her safe!!!

I need to know more about Fitz and the Fool’s relationship, because I’m missing that whole context but the hints and mentions are just too good!!!

I'm really loving this book!!! And I really LOVE that the first half is truly cozy fantasy and I loved it so much!!!

It's a weird thing to say, but Rainbow Rowell is so good at writing failed relationships and exes, I'm not saying you're rooting for them, not in that way, but she writes the love while seeing a relationship that doesn't work so well!!!

I really don't think the book has found the best balance between the past and present time storyline, so far there's so much more of the past, and I really want to get back to the present!!!

2019 being the future in here is insane!!! It’s always interesting to see how people saw our present in the past!!!

I know this is a kids book, but this starting immediately with describing Homer as a blind man is losing me... I know this is not the book to go into the Homer question, and if he even existed as the figure who wrote this stories, bc these were oral traditions, and you cannot be sure of anything... but to state that so factually kind of bothered me...

The book breaking the fourth wall to talk to the reader directly!!!

I'm almost sure of a twist that's about to happen, and it's so good for the book it is!! If it's right, it makes so much sense for the story and message they're telling!!!

Last few bits have been connecting with Invisible, I think, so I think I'll watch the show... but you can also do without it... but so far this book is really good!!!

Ela acabou de ser raptada por um Viking, a familia dela e o Tristan possivelmente mortos, e ela já se quer atirar este homem!!! Este é o predecessor da romantasy dos dias de hoje!!!

So confused about this All Might person showing up!!! This is so crossover heavy!!! Not a bad thing, I'm having a lot of fun here!!!

Não!!! Quinn!!! Por outro lado, a relação da Catelyn e da Melody tem o meu completo coração - o desenvolvimento é a aproximação delas é tão boa!!!

There’s two different vibes to MMF romances, and I don’t think this is it… it could still change, but ahhh, it still feels so straight. I want the exploration of queerness and not heteronormative relationships, and so far this is just two guys like the same girl (without any angst or conflict that could make this emotionally interesting…)

Ainda a ponderar se há mais sobre a Myrna, ou ela é o que parece (o que a Cat acha...)... ao mesmo tempo, tendo em conta o que aconteceu ao filho da Melody, eu tendo a acreditar na Cat...

The way I wondered for a second if this was where the “if I was a worm” meme started… vet then I remember my best friend asked me this and it was way before 2022 (we used to laugh about it, bc my answer is no, bc worms freak me out a lot, so no worms or snails or slugs)

Jem being protective of Kit over someone calling him a "beast", and Kit just being excited the working out is giving results!!! And then Jem and Tessa just talking of how words have changed over time...

They're talking about a second Jace and I don't remember this at all... I checked the wiki page, and very few memories of this - I remember the existence of Ash, that was familiar, but I did not remember the other dimension...

This is on me being bad either way dates, but the shock seeing Robert, I thought this story was a bit later… but also I really love him, and trying to build a relationship with his kids

Insane ending to the first part!!! But also parts of it were so relatable and I wanted to beat up/argue with a few people!!!

Baby Izzy, Jace and Alec are the sweetest thing!!! And the way they become family from their first moment!!!
