Hmmmm... I just don't know....

Reading as I prep and dream about a culinary history library program I'm planning. :) All of my favorite things in one + beautiful illustrations. 😭

This book is so dark and gnarly... I love it so far.

Very... H.G. Wells vibes here in Lewis' writing.

Ummmm... what is happening?

Heavy content...

A little laborious but I am liking it so far. He's rustling up nostalgia for things I haven't thought about in a long time... the sports section is killing me, but I have no interest in sports.

Why have I done this to myself? Why the hell did I choose this book?

Holy.... crap.

How could a story about a woman everyone seems to be enraptured with bore me to tears like this?

Ehhhhhhhhh.... okay so I lied about being obsessed with St. John Mandel's super skippy-around writing style. It's not panning out for my attention span. But I am working on inventory and super distracted. I'll come back to it. I made it 6 chapters in and feeling just "meh"...

Holy...crap... I cannot put this down.

Full review forthcoming.

I'm listening to the audiobook and the narrator when doing January's voice speaks in baby talk and it makes me want to scratch my eyes out. I'm going to try to reading it instead of listening since everyone I know who loves to read loves this book.

This is fast becoming one of my favorite books... I seriously can't put it down and I'm so incredibly impressed at Tartt's writing style. She has such a poetic way of making the most mundane things jump out. And not in a contrived literary way. This book is impressive and I can see how it won the Pulitzer.
