Shoutout to Amy for the reminder that book club exists and is happening on Monday

Suzanne Young is one of my favorites but I’m not clicking with this one yet and it’s my second attempt to read it this month. I think I’ll be putting it on a more permanent hold, not DNF

85% through another book but can’t put off starting this anymore with book club on Monday lol bye

I don’t want to DNF because I’ve wasted soooo much time to not count it but ugh

I’ve been meaning to read this for a few years and now seems like the perfect time to help me catch up on my reading goal

Okay I knew it

Praying this is more like her first two and less like her last one lol

I should’ve started this sooner for book club, as usual lol. Now I have to pause yet another book to read this instead

Pausing for now because I need ATMOSPHERE more rn

One thing I’m gonna do is read books with time loops

Fuck it everything else is going on hold

So far I hate this 😃

Not super far into this but putting it on hold while I read for book club

Why do I forget book club exists until a few days beforehand lol

This girl is so dumb!!!!

She name drops Portland landmarks so often that its weird when she says normal things like “the coffee shop” or “Thai place”

Girlie I am figuring this out so quickly, please keep up

Book club is Monday and I forgot to read this lol I basically have to put my two current books on hold since one is a mystery and one is on my Kindle, and this book fits in both of those categories lol

Connecticut 👏🏼 boarding school 👏🏼 murder mystery 👏🏼

Unpopular opinion but if this series didn’t have an annoying and dramatic romance, it could be a good fantasy with an interesting world/magic system

Books about a dude written by a dude are not my cup of tea but I’m keeping an open mind lol

I planned to use StoryGraph for updates like this but the platform doesn’t make it easy unfortunately. I’ll just say this is off to quite a start haha

Reduced my reading goal to 75 books this year so I can focus on some longer books I would’ve otherwise put off! I read a lot of novellas and short stories in 2024 to keep up with reading when I wasn’t in the mood and I hope to avoid that this year.

I’ll be updating my book progress on StoryGraph now but you can still see current/finished reads on Goodreads and now also Fable for 2025.

The way I gasped

Okay good because that would’ve driven me crazy for the rest of the book lol

I can’t decide which of these characters I dislike more

Girl, communicate!
