This was transformative from the first day! Only have 2 weeks to go!

How can I finish reading this stupid book? I feel so bad for this naïve girl. Jimmy is basically raping her. It's obvious he's just having his fun and then is gonna be done and abandon her- with child I imagine . I can't hardly take much more of it .

So far, it may be better than the first 2!

It drags a lot. But I still want to finish it. I just have to wait for library availability.

This part is disturbing and I can't wait for this book to be over.

There's much that I like. I usually love period pieces and I like fantasy too; however, I have to stop reading for a night to tell you there's a tedious amount of capture and escape from the same people over and over. Also, an unrealistic amount of near rape and escape. These people wouldve been raped or killed a hundred times over. Seriously, how many times can you sing this tune in one book?!

It’s hard to read a whole devotional in only 2 weeks time. This was fun and easy. I may have to buy it to finish.

This is hard to finish bc the library only had the audiobook. Between my toddler and my baby, it's difficult to take time to listen. I'm so anxious to know how it ends!

It's finally available from the library again. I wasn't going to recheck it out until she made an obscure reference to Winnie the Pooh. I'm determined to finish just because that. Reading it was like sharing a private joke with a friend.

Finished the gospels and am starting Acts today. It's nice when you get to the parts you've read before and can still get something new out of it. I recommend everyone read it everyday.

That's 78.1% otherwise known as the ENTIRE Old Testament! That's right. "I did it, I did it, oh yeah yeah yeah." I'm so excited that I can say I've read it all and I'll be finished with the New Testament long before the end of the year. I'm amazed at the things I've read that have made me say, "oh that's what the New Testament was referring to." Reading the Old Testament makes the New that much more glorious.

So far this is incredible. I love the narrator and what he is.

If she dies before getting to Amsterdam and meeting the author, I'm going to scream.

This last 10% seemed to take forever. The prophets don't read as fast as the histories I guess. I'm still ahead of the plan though!

I'm so excited to finally get it. I've been person 150,000 billion gagillion on the editing list forever. I hope it lives up to the hype.

Hooray!!! I'm halfway through! Since I'm reading chronologically, I've just begun 2 Kings, 64% through 2 Chronicles, and I've read 94% of Psalms. I know that will linger until the end of the old T since Erza wrote some of them. It's fascinating how you see new things each time you read passages you've read before.

I think I got the description for Matched and Delirium mixed up. I'm glad I read matched though because so far it seems more plausible than this story. Distopians are already far fetched but this is just ridiculous. I'm going to stick with it though because it got such great ratings from friends and even Veronica Roth liked it. Hmm. Maybe that proves something. It better get better.
