for mads

doing a great job starting books recently and a horrible job at finishing them lol

over halfway people!!!

haven’t read any SJM for a longggg time so here we go!

almost there gosh

jasper canonically being a member of the confederate army is INSANE and no one even bats an eye?!?!?

gonna see if i can finish this before the library wants it back…

unfortunately jd vance narrates this audiobook himself so i’m irritated

why am i gonna cry bruh

i knew this was gonna be good but omg it’s so good

still enjoying but just had to read a “look at me!!!!!! ur not urself” moment which makes me roll my eyes

my thoughts on this rn is violet is totally giving the girl in color guard who always have a knee brace on and that this book is so much more enjoyable when you’re not trying to figure out wtf the diff countries/territories/whatever the heck are. like i just accepted i don’t know what it is and i’m happier for it

first read for book club!

cannot believe i’ve never read so here we go. also trying to get thru my physical to read list and this is first alphabetically by author so

second time reading a book where they mention humans playing AI in Go but in this book it’s pro AI and in the last one (cant remember which book) it was pro humans beating AI which i think is interesting. this is like oh the AI is looking at it in a way humans never would and the other book was like there’s something about being human and defeating the machine. rant over. interesting tidbit haha

THIS BOOK OMG SO GOOD

so far this is incredible

book is totally sucking me in and i wish i could just stay up all night reading this but i have WORK :(
