Totally chose this one because of the cover.

Ooh! Great first line!

50 pages in and I'm already really enjoying this!

So far so good....

Don't you love it when you read 652 pages of a book and then a new character is introduced? Who are you, where have you been, and why do I care?

This book reads like the opening of St. Matthew's gospel. #ifyouknowyouknow

Am really enjoying this doorstopper of a book, but I get home from work and sit in a comfy spot with the book in my lap...and immediately fall asleep. :/

I'm going to give this one a break. It wouldn't be quite right to say I don't like it, but it's a lot.

This book is either intricate and complex, or plodding and convoluted. I'll let you know if I survive the next 300 pages.

Sorry to everybody who follows me for all the giveaways I just entered.

However, if I win any of them, I will not be sorry anymore.

"Our response to this wild and wonderful book should not be to shut ourselves into a a basement room with some red string and photocopied Bible pages, piecing together our country's role in the final battle."

ha haha hahahahaha

Little guy wants MOAR being read to. I've never read The Magicians Elephant but I love DiCamillo and it has been on my shelf for years, waiting for me.

Reading aloud to the 10 year old.

The blurb on the back starts with, "Elegant, sinister and psychologically complex..." and I was like...SOLD!

I am in a slump. I don't want to read. All I want to do is watch dumb youtube on my phone. Help.

Reading this for SRP challenge...a book by an author with my initials. I didn't know there were any of those!

Question: Who else looks back on their ratings and thinks, Ya know what? That book is still with me, I'm adjusting that rating higher. Or, Ya know what? I completely forgot that book exists, I'm going to rate it lower.

Nobody? Just me? Ok then.

I just did that with The Christie Affair (up) and another book that it would be mean of me to call out (down.)

Been sitting on my unread shelf for too long. Decided to crack it open for banned books week.

Having trouble reading any "real" books for 2 weeks now, but this has pages with words on them so I'm counting it.

I really should quit this, but I think I'm going to keep reading it like rubber-necking at a car wreck.

I mean, who is this book even for??!!!!

I could only recommend it to people who fetishize bodily fluids.
