One of the times where the movie is better than the book. I avoided the two anniversary introductions but there’s a 3rd with actual page numbers before the main book. Don’t bother reading that part.

Found out I have 90 left of my 2025 purchases and 250 (currently left) of my 2026 purchases to read, plus whatever was on my shelves previously while growing up. 340+ so 2027 will be busy again, but I think my goal number will be a reasonable amount next time; maybe 165 since 2025 was 75 and 2026 was 240. January might just be catching up on manga *shrug*

The ‘horror’ scene wasn’t spooky, maybe because I knew something was coming thanks to Ian and Ashlynn. This carried over from October but I’m liking it better than expected (should’ve read it months ago when it was an option)

Didn’t finish this in October so it carried over.

This is a quick read when I actually pick it up. I’m waiting for the sequel to come out in paperback. Only 112 pages left to go.

Finally finished my yearly goal of 240 with the boring book of Wheels by Arthur Hailey. Sadly had 13 pages remaining by midnight so carried over to November, but I can maybe go easy finally.

Called it!!

<spoiler>Did Bex decide to do birth gender or did author screw up? The entire book has been NB 14YO but now it’s F 14YO</spoiler>

<spoiler>I can’t feel happy for the two daughters because Elin will still end up with the prince. A retelling doesn’t really change the ending of Cinderella</spoiler>

199 left to go. Not a fan of Cinderella ‘Elin’ in this. Probably putting this in the discard pile when it’s done. Disappointment.

Final 99! Finally!

Close to the end. Waiting for the craziness I slightly remember.

Drama at the wedding

<spoiler>I think Ridge is going to be named after himself</spoiler>. I still think this book would’ve been better without the time travel.

It got slightly better. Wanted to dnf in the beginning but the <spoiler>brief incest and Rosie made me stick with it. I’m still disappointed things didn’t play out different in terms of Rosie and the baby.</spoiler> Less than two hundred to go at least.

Had a tough beginning but it’s finally at the main story. I was expecting it to match Cinderella more instead of this. The ball is the only true similarity.

It’s going well. <spoiler>They are close to being married.</spoiler>

Why didn’t they keep any of the daughter names the same?

The main kid is an idiot. <spoiler>‘Is the world going to end during Y2K?’ while talking to a kid from the future. Obviously not Michael!</spoiler> This book would have been good if it didn’t have time travel thrown in.

I don’t like the ‘science’ articles between the chapters. Unnecessary.

The movie did a better job casting Ridley aside from not giving her blonde hair like she’s meant to have (like what happens to Annabeth repeatedly)

299 pages left. Ready for it to end but the writing improved slightly. Wasn’t expecting that to happen in the plot

Morrie dropped in the ranking after the alley scene. 99 pages to go finally

For being a luxe edition there are a lot of typos. Ended up marking my copy in parts that allowed it. MM books are better (I’m not used to MF)

I have a suspect in mind

I still prefer Morrie but Heathcliff had a decent moment. Dun dun dun plot twist!

Forgot how many jerks were in the town. I am remembering bits and pieces though of the ending.

The conflict has arrived. Less than a hundred to go.

187 pages left. Doesn’t read as quick now after finishing Sorcery and Small Magics but still decent. Only ten days left of October and multiple boring books I don’t want to carry over another month. Hopefully November is better

It’s so boring but I need it for challenges. Ahhh!
