Again, I haven't read in days but I did forget to update what I did read. Would be cool to finish this before NYE.

This is the first time I'm reading in about a month. December has been difficult on many levels – seasonal depression, work, the hustle and bustle that comes before one gets to enjoy their holidays. Hoping that getting back to this book will help jump-start my love for reading.

How is this literally worse than the previous two books???

I'm really so close to finishing the book and have been for almost a week but this past month has been so awful. I just cannot focus on anything. Which is a shame, since I'm really enjoying this book every time I manage to pick it up. Reading slumps SUCK.

218/281: Still very Gone Girl-y.

116/281: Pretty repetitive, but it's a bit more interesting than the first.

Some strong Zionist rhetoric coming from one of the characters. I hope this won't overshadow the very real genocide they are suffering.

I've bought this book ten years ago and I thought it was finally time to read it. BUT. Political context matters. As I am reading about a genocide, it's important to underline that we are witnessing an active one in our present day, and we must not stay silent about it. We are condemning the state of Israel, we are condemning zionism, and we are demanding a free Palestine.

Made good progress yesterday, really excited to see whether the royal wedding is busted or takes effect. Glad to see the gang back together.

I got more reading done now that I'm at home. But I do wonder, will they stop the wedding in this book or the next? The last one in the series is even longer than Cress. 🥲​

Going through a reading slump, but mostly because work is hectic and I am expecting my period any day now. I just wish I had the time and energy to sit down with the book and read as I am really excited about the direction in which it is going.

Been feeling under the weather lately, so I couldn't focus much on reading. I'm squinting a bit at Cinder's foolishness, but how old is she? Sixteen? I feel like Marissa Meyer could have aged her up a bit.

It took me a bit to get into it, as I had forgotten some of the things that happened in Scarlet. So far, so good. I enjoy this series a lot, and I find it quite dynamic, as it juggles all these characters and events.

146/197: Work was hectic, so I only managed to squeeze in 40 pages. The plot thickens and it's actually quite thrilling to see it all unfold. Definitely more dynamic than other books of hers, similar to The Big Four in how enticing it is.

102/197: More at-work reading. I'm really enjoying myself with this one. It feels like a breath of fresh air as it's a bit less formulaic compared to her other novels.

47/197: Rainy weather goes hand in hand with Agatha Christie.

213/281: It's so cliche but I expected this from the get-go. I'm just curious to see how it ends.

79/281: Poorly translated but I was in the mood for a thriller

326/353: Of course we had to have the third act drama.

252/353: A slow descent into madness. There is literally nothing fun about this book.

I'm just trying to get it over with. I'm just not feeling whatever it is between Daphne and Miles. Two obnoxiously quirky millennials stuck in a conundrum.

God, this book is boring
