Jury’s still out on whether I like this

I’ve never thought “yay, the antifreeze!!” before today

This book is very hard to pick up but I could also just be depressed. Idk

murdering an abuser, I’m so here for it!

I have no idea what’s going on? but either way I’m seated, the narrator is kind of insane (positive)

I may not have the historical or cultural context to pick up everything that is happening here

Doing a blitz of 12 sub-300 pagers so I can stop angsting about how many unread books I have; let’s fucking go!

Reiko… girl…

shit is getting crazy omg. detective reiko on the case bc rika is too professional (and slightly in like with the murderer) to ask the right questions

If they arrest the well-meaning if a bit naive German waiter I’m sending Maggie Stiefvater hate mail (for legal reasons this is a joke).

I’m kind of obsessed with this West Virginian woman running a luxury hotel

I’m listening at 1.25x and it’s perfect but idk how I’m going to cram 5.5 more hours of listening into the remaining days I have the audiobook 😭

The “overweight” woman they’re all reveling at is 145 pounds…. ONE HUNDRED AND FOURTY FIVE POUNDS. I’m not converting anymore numbers in this book for my own peace of mind 😭

Tricking your mostly nonverbal child into memorizing secret Nazi codes as nursery rhymes is so specifically evil. Like you get an assigned seat in hell for that. Let the baby sing patty cake omg?????

The voices are kinda funny but also really immersive. This woman is very talented!

I know all of these chars are meant to be a little wrong but I don’t think Jasmine is wrong in questioning why Tilly & James behave as if they can’t leave town or work anywhere but at the destructive evil lumber mill… why get pregnant in a town actively killing you AND the surrounding environment….

Genuinely cackled at Henry saying“I’m gonna make this rowdy bitch my girlfriend” after watching her take down three racist hicks in a the parking lot of a bar. I love downbadism like he’s so into his traumatized scrappy situationship

Ooh things are getting creepy and weird (positive)! The prose is a treat for the eyes

So close to being done! This book is interesting at the same time as it drags… might put several books between this and the sequel

Yay for audiobooks so my knit time doesn’t eat my book time!

Head is spinning from all these brain parts; i fear this book is a bit too neurological for my needs

this is actually getting really interesting! it took a while to get used to the roving sheep pov but now I really like Maple and Mopple and think the rest are fine. This book does “why would animals have the same morals and rules as us” really well for such a silly premise
