Someone tell me how this woman living in 1789 got a 6-foot-tall feminist model for a husband 🤨

This book was tolerable and somewhat intriguing until the section with Miss Clack. GET ME OUT OF HER HEAD I BEG YOU PLEASE

I intend to read this book's companion, "Against Calvinism," after I finish this one. I'm interested to hear both perspectives.

You know when a book is so good you want to EAT it? Like just take a bite and chew on it? Just me? Ok.

90% of the slang in this book is incomprehensible to me and I love it

I don’t fully understand what is happening, but I do know it is hilarious.

This is definitely not what I was expecting, nor what I was in the mood for. Yet, I read on

Enjoying this way more than I thought I would!

Not the info dump 10 pages in 😥

What is happening rn

I used a random number generator to choose my next audiobook from the 138 books on my TBR, and it picked this. I like it because I really do want to read this, but I don’t know if I ever would have picked it myself out of the “stack.”

So good!!!!

Please Agatha get to the point I love you but respectfully I don’t care about this conversation the prime minister and a random diplomat are having and I don’t want to see anything outside of the POV of Tommy or Tuppence 😭😭

There have been far too many coincidences to be realistic at all, but it’s a lot of fun so far. I really like the dynamic between Tommy and Tuppence.

So far, the main point of the book—the romance—is really bad. It provides a great glimpse into 1940s culture, though. The slang and customs are so outdated and I love it.

Not really sure what I’m getting into with this one 😭 This was written by a college student in the early 1940s. It could be either really good or really terrible. We’ll see!

This was written as a filler book after all the other books and it shows

Here goes nothing . . .

There are some really interesting thoughts in here about the relativity of time, especially when viewed through the lens of redemptive history.

I love this so much

Finally re-borrowed this from the library to finish it! The other stories are interesting, but nothing like The Country of the Pointed Firs so far.

This book is significantly less interesting than the first one so far. I'm still bored and we're already halfway through the book.

Rose be out here WILDin, if you will

This is SO GOOD so far. The writing is some of the best I’ve read in a biography, and it’s detailed without feeling bogged down. Also, it’s just fascinating (and heart-wrenching) stuff.

There are some really good essays in here—more good ones than mediocre ones.
