See what it's like?

"Juana. The funny, bold child I'd left behind. Of all my photos, the curators chose hers, and rightly so. Her vivaciousness, and her parents' love for her, radiated from the photo. I'd captured love so pure that it was almost hard to look at."

"She is like a little girl jumping rope."

"But unlike in your other studio portraits, you didn't look like you were trying to be sexy in these - you were sexy, though fully clothed. Dressed in a heavy sweater, you leaned on a mandolin in one. You seemed relaxed and artsy, wise for your twenty-seven years.

My library hold for the audiobook finally became available well after I finished the book.

That's ok though. I think I'll be able to better formulate my thoughts on opinions on this books after a re-read.

Putting A Little Life on pause so that I can read Alchemised, knowing full well that both books are emotionally traumatic and will destroy me.

...I'm starting to wonder if there's something wrong with me.

My libby audiobook expired and now I have to wait (hopefully not too long) for the hold to come through.

This book is breaking my heart so this is a welcomed break.

I did not expect this from Adolin!!! Also, this might be my favourite MSMMVI episode so far - the discussion about the changes made to Ch.86 and the parallels between Adolin and Kaladin were very interesting.
