Ik heb dit als kind nooit gelezen maar holy hell wat een trippy boek. Had echt hoge verwachtingen ook wegens brief voor de koning maar ik vind het tot nu toe erg matig geschreven en ik erger me dood aan ongeveer alle karakters.

This is fun because I remember basically nothing at all

Op pagina 62 al tranen jemig

It's that time of year again (listening to a long ago pirated version though cause that woman is not getting a cent anymore)

I hate Mr Rochester so much

Would seriously not recommend listening to this at night. I did not remember how creepy some passages are.

I have.. many feelings about the protagonist

So far this is just LOTR fanfic?

This is gorgeous but hard work. Also, giving basically every generation the same first name is just... Great.

I generally love Andy Serkis' narration! However, I can't state enough how much I HATE his rendition of the songs. His voice isn't great, a bit pitchy and especially Tom Bombadil just grates my brain and doesn't put me in the right frame of mind for sleep. Pity.

Well it was a very stupid idea to read this when I couldn't sleep because now I REALLY can't sleep

Sorry but what the f is midnight green. I get so upset with YA writers and their descriptive imagery on steroids sometimes.

'The truth is[...] that you are capable of anything. Good or bad. You always have been, and you always will be. Given the right push, you, too, could do horrible things. That darkness exists within all of us. [...] All you can do -all any of us can do- is work to be something positive instead. That is a choice that every sapient must make every day of their life. The universe is what we make of it.'

Finally had time for reading this morning and I'm already in love with all the characters oops

I think this might be the first Dutch book I've read in ... 15 years. But I love my book group so I'm doing this for them.

Want to end the year on a high note

I'm learning so many things about trees. I now am a person who says: Hey did you know this about trees? I friggin' love it.

So much pointless death. Why.

The premise is intriguing, but the references to mythology very on the nose if you were brought up on that stuff. The writing is really unnecessarily choppy and convoluted. I'm disappointed so far.

Listening to the audiobook narrated by Kate Winslet. She has a really lovely reading voice.
