“But it sounds like we could both use a little soul searching.” Badum tiss

"Hurry!" William urged me again. "Otherwise the old man will eat up all of Aristotle!" // "And die!"

"But I am straying into melancholy digressions." This entire book is a melancholic digression, Adso.

She's kind of like Noah Kahan but for Wyoming if you think about it

3 people have died at their monastery, a woman is going to be burned for witchcraft, and yet all these monks seem to care about is debating whether or not jesus was poor. ok

My audiobook loan expired this morning so I will be skimming to the end because who cares anymore !!!!

It’s not even that I dislike this, it’s that the audiobook narrator’s character voices are so annoying

Book written by a man for men (derogatory).

The twist has to be coming soon and I FEEL like I know where it’s going and if Im write… this book would be like Mister Magic but better

Idk… I love puzzles and codes…

I'm tired of this, Grandpa!!!!!

Shoutout to Grace for alerting me to the Morse Code before I started reading so that I could have my pen and paper ready.

Didn't realize I would have to bust out my old Latin textbooks to translate every other page

I love a squad!!!!!!!

Listen, the writing is good and it’s very atmospheric which is fun to read at night for spooky vibes, but I fear as a mystery/thriller it has been Extremely predictable and I have yet to feel truly shocked by any of the reveals so far.

"We live for books." Finally have context for the quote that sometimes shows up when this app is loading wow. Also, I feel the same about this as I do with Steinbeck where the actual story is good and interesting, he just loses me with Too Many Details. If you want a good Catholic mystery, just read Conclave.

this shit is Tedious

It’s kind of disorienting to read a “dark academia”book where the cult is around a more contemporary figure (Sylvia Plath) and not like… the typical Shakespeare or Ancient Greeks.

when the scifi book suddenly becomes a mystery/thriller GOD BLESSSSSSSSS

Filed under: books that should have been new adult, but because that’s not a marketable genre yet, the characters were aged down to 17/18 (YA) when they should have been aged up to 25/26 (adult).

angry birds mention

Cadence is like a knockoff Merricat from ‘We Have Always Lived in the Castle’ and I will not be elaborating

Lowkey annoyed she’s getting set up romantically with the cop and not the bartender/public defender who will probably end up being the secret third act villain anyways but what🙄 ever🙄

I kind of love how over-the-top ridiculous this book is. Like hell yeah let’s bring in the Russian Mafia. Why not?

Girl just take the money !!!!! You already disposed of the body, get that cash !!!!!

I don't think Bradbury would be surprised to learn people's attention spans have gotten so bad people would rather ask chatgpt to write them a summary of a book than actually read a book

I am only on page 3 and have never been more sure of my desire to not have children omg…

The actual writing style is a headache to read but omg… she’s a genius

Will a book I was intrigued to read be a massive disappointment? Stay tuned!
