Oof idk if it’s just me but the timeline is confusing to keep track of; I have to keep flipping back to figure out the dates of when things are happening and it disrupts the flow

I understand why the chapter lengths are inconsistent but omg some of these chapters are so LONG

I’m only a few chapters in, but this book is losing me a little. My main problem is that there’s no show of Shane struggling with her anxiety, she’s just suddenly fine with talking to people - she might mention that she’s nervous to say something but then she says it anyways. Makes me think this book was written by someone who’s an extrovert or someone who doesn’t really have a hard time talking to people

The more I read this series, the more I want to see it turned into a tv series (which isn’t usually something I want but this story would work really well on screen)

Uh so I was under the impression that this was a trilogy, only to get near the end of this book and realize they still has way too much to wrap up for this to be the last book lol

I’m listening to this one on audiobook (which is something I rarely do so this is exciting!) and as someone who works in a library, so far this book is really interesting

Y'all I am SO excited about this (but it's been so long since I read tgt so hopefully I didn't forget anything important or relevant to this story lol)

My friend gave this to me for my birthday, and so I figured I should finally get around to reading it (and I'm always in the mood to read about Wonder Woman kicking butt)

I have terrible, acne-prone skin, and I've wondered if part of the problem is the amount of product I put on it to try and make the zits go away. I'm excited to read this and hopefully find out a better way of keeping my skin clear without needing a million different toners, cleansers, and moisturizers

The idea of being at a cottage, going outside because you can't sleep, and ending up sitting out on the dock and having life chats with someone while you look out over a lake at night sounds like my dream scenario and you can judge me all you want to but that is some romantic-ass stuff

I was going to save this one until later in the summer but I got impatient so I'm reading it now lol

"And it ought to be easy (though many do not find it so) to refuse to buy what one does not need...if you don't have a problem, why pay for a solution?"
I really really like this quote - it genuinely made me think about how dumb it is that we always have this "need" for the newest technology

This book is about a boarding school and a girl who likes true crime and starts to solve a murder mystery: aka my dream scenario

I'm rereading this because I just took a whole course on cleopatra and I'm curious how faithful this is to actual history

We're going to see a play version of this later in the week, so I figured I should reread the source material

Y'all know how much I love my mythology inspired books, and this one sounds super cool so I'm very excited to read it

Guess who gets to read Harry Pottet for school eyyyy

I have to read this for school and I'm already dreading it a bit bc it combines two things I've never been a fan of: poetry and science. That being said, I'm also vaguely interested as to how those two things are going to play together so we'll see how this goes.

I started reading this at work and I'm really loving it so far - can't wait to get back to it on my next shift lol

This is a reread - I've had the second book for ages and still haven't read it so I figured I would do this so I can remember what happened lol

This one is once again for my children's lit class and I'm very excited about it (I'm like one chapter in and it's already so cute)

I love this children's literature class 🙌🏻

reading this for a class so I'm TOTALLY COUNTING IT

Reading this one for school and I've heard mixed things about it so we'll see how it goes lol

This book is really sad sometimes but it's beautifully written - I'm actually really enjoying it so far

Reading this one for school, and it looks really interesting, so I'm excited :D
