100 pages in and nothing at all has happened. does this pick up at all? will it take another 100 pages for *anything* to happen in this book? idk if i have the patience for this rn..

this timeline can be a little disorienting at points but i think that adds to the craziness of everything happening

Carissa is on page 143 of 406 of The Creative Act: A Way of Being
i can’t tell how i feel. one paragraph will have me contemplating my entire creative process and the next will be the most ‘the universe breathes through you’ new age, hippie, white people nonsense i’ve ever read. whiplash.

4/5⭐️ joanne fluke is a literary genius that knows that sweet spot between campy and suspenseful and nails it every time

Carissa is on page 203 of 368 of The Honey Witch
*POSSIBLE MAYBE SPOILERS*

calling it now, lottie is an ash witch (kinda knew that from the beginning tbh) and her and marigold are soulmates and they’re going to fix the curse with the power of true love and friendship. the world building & character development are quite good (especially for a debut novel) i just wish this book didn’t pander so hard to the booktok crowd. it’s feels a little try hard-ey

Carissa is 28% done with The Pumpkin Spice Café (Dream Harbor, #1)
i seriously don’t know if i can read any more of this.. i don’t like instalove, but i can usually tolerate it. instalove where nothing happens at all is painful. literally nothing has happened in this book besides the mcs thinking about how much they like the other but can’t

reading jessica fletcher talk about ordering an uber/lyft on her iphone really killed the vibe for me. so out of character. jessica fletcher would still be ordering taxis in the year of our lord 2024

Carissa is on page 206 of 368 of 19 Yellow Moon Road (Sisterhood, #33)
really boring until page 150ish then jumpscare!: a rape scene! i knew it was coming but i figured a book written by a 90 year old woman whose demographic is almost exclusively middle aged conservative christian ladies would simply allude to some illegal happenings or make some kind of allegory so that no karen would whine and complain. curious as to how fern will wrap this one up

also i REALLY hate the cheating-but-it’s-okay-because-she-might-maybe-be-getting-a-divorce situation going on.. at least she told him she’s kinda sorta married and will maybe perhaps be divorcing. it could end satisfyingly, i still have alot of book to read

i really don’t think i’m the target demographic for this book.. i relate to the mc on the ‘i love my mom more than anything else in the world’ aspect but everything that isn’t related to the mom has me yawning. the subtle flexes that she’s a rich white millennial woman has me feeling alienated..

i hope this book will bring back my desire to read, the first page is already very captivating. fourth wing was so bad it put me in a reading slump. i’ll sue rebecca yarros for that

i don't know how much more i can make it of this book. anyone who read alot of fanfiction back during tumblr's peak could see this would be a mediocre fic at best. i'm fully convinced that anyone who likes this book never experienced a 2013 tumblr teen's harry potter with dragons self-insert fanfiction before. also there's no spark between violet and xaiden, he's just hot. that's not romantic tension.
