God, I just hit the Silken quote and honest to god groaned. This is so dumb.

Very easily and happily skipping over the 30 min foreword by Gaiman....

I hate this already, my god.

Oh shit, this is really good.

This is honestly traumatizing and a primer for why NOT to take your kids to church.

Not sure I'm going to recover from what this book has taught me about wasps....

I dont know if I can do this, im just so. Annoyed.

Literally 6% into this book and I have a sneaking suspicion it's not about her using the week her ex-fiance gives her to move out of his house seeding it with mushroom spores and tbfh I don't know if i can handle this book "dealing with the situation in a mature way" or whatever. Truly uninterested in any version of this story that isn't her putting a curse on the next 3 generations of their family.

This is probably a terrible decision on my part. Also I for some reason had thought this had a modern setting....mostly because the minotaur on the cover looks like he's wearing a t-shirt and I definitely did not read the entire summary in advance...

Wowza, I am not the audience for this.

20% into this audiobook and just discovering it's abridged?!? The narration is really good tho, I guess I'll keep going and just...make sure to also put this on my list to reread...

"I was adapting." Lol, sure, lady.

Yo I'm not sure I'm going to survive this...

I'm sorry....why is a grown ass married man inviting a 14 year old girl to a party at Elvis' house? "Come with my wife and I to meet our good friend Elvis, random child." What is the rationale, my dude???

Need a stupid Valdemar palette cleanser.

Really extremely not feeling how much of this trilogy is dedicated to talking ABOUT teen girls and young women and how cringe and/or manipulative they are and how many of them need to be put in their places. Why is this a running theme????????

A hundred pages into this and I'm subjected to the indignity of a Princess Bride reference.

Just living my best life staying up til 4am with work the next day to start this. Have not regretted it so far!

I am obsessed with the fact that Declan lives in Old Town Alexandria, lol.

Oh fuck, is this about to become my entire personality?

The authenticity of the Virginia setting is really doing it for me, I gotta admit.

Oh no, a Michael Pollan reference.....ugh.

Oh fuck.

I don't know anything about this guy but for some reason I was not expecting this to be so gatekeep-y...

Good lord...

Oh my actual fucking God, what is this anti-union screed? Somehow, i'm shocked Doyle is trying to make me sympathize with mine owners and a fucking Pinkerton. My god.

Lol uh oh, this is exactly the kind of heart throbbing, playing dressup with historical figures historical fiction I'm the prime audience for. *buckles in for the ride merrily humming like you've got Elmo in the back seat of a car*

This is so good!!!!?!?!
