My goodreads reading challenge has stopped really being a challenge and more of a wildly off the mark prediction of how many books I think I’ll read that year because I’m delusional

Wintrow is the funniest little guy in the world

I hate bitches named Kyle

I only put books I won’t finish on my currently reading because I like being publicly humiliated, I guess

I’m actually going to read this this time if this kills me I NEED TO GET THROUGH THIS TRILOGY AND I WILL LIKE IT BECAUSE I TRUST MS HOBB

Am I bored because this is boring or because I am stupid

If I don’t read the trial Joe is going to kill me in the night but if I do I will die of boredom what a dilemma

Review of Joshua:
-who knew a guy named Josh could commit so much genocide
-he fully wipes out like 8 cities
-joshua basically spends this entire book trying to do Moses roleplay because he's insecure about his own war crimes or something
-any time the bible says something still stands to this day it's a lie
-the lists in this one were too long
-josh is the most boring war criminal ever
-fave verse: 10:12-14
-4/10

Review of Deuteronomy:
-so repetitive
-the phrase "wet dream" shows up in this
-who decided the order of these chapters u can't just have a law about cutting off a woman's hand if she punches a man's balls and then say how important loving orphans is
-god really said he forgives sins and then immediately told Moses he had to die? Ok.
-the best laws r the ones that god directly contradicts

Review of Leviticus:
-Super boring
-Can I call God problematic
-God loves goats and sheep so much it's like kinda sus

-The Love thy neighbor line is like 1 of 3 wholesome lines in this entire book
-Fave verse: 26:17 & 26:36-39
-2/10

Exodus review:
-This one swung so hard from wildly boring to horrific so fast

I had a dream where I read a Murakami book and didn't understand it is this a sign to read it or to not read it
