Mighr be that I've just read so much outlander these past weeks, but it certainly feels like an influence.

Lots of thoughts; overwhelmingly positive, but definitely an acquired taste. I'm going to watch a performance of King Lear before giving a definitive review.

I'm so excited I only have 5 and a half hours left. This book is fine, but so long. I'm noticing Gabaldon has a tendency to write one book that really should be two different books.

This book is fine, its just so long, facing the fact that my next week is going to be a lot more of this book to finish it before my libby hold runs out 😭

I am relieved how much better this book is so far than the first one. The first book too wasn't that bad until around 1/3, but its maintained its quality pretty steadily so far, so I think its won me over. I was worried that it would take Gabaldon a couple more books to atleast get to this point.

It might be just because its at the start, and it might be just that this is technically YA and I'm out of practice with it, and since its for a younger audience things are spelled out more clearly. But this is a lot of Telling and Not Showing. Still not The Honey Witch bad yet....

I feel like there's just a hint of Ender's Game influence in this.

I think this ending might of landed better if I didn't have to take a month long break because I ran out of listening hours.

This was actually A Lot of fun

It has certainly picked up a lot, definitely enjoying it, but everything with her brother isn't quite landing for me

I waited for weeks for the audio book of this novella to be available
.. and I don't think I'm enjoying the narration style

Woops, back here again...

Deadline on my library borrow is tonight instead of last night. So am I going to finish this 🎉🎉

2 lesbians in a pool 75% through a first book in a series. Has never disappointed me, weird this has happened twice though. 2 nickels and all that

Its 7pm and i have 7 hours left.... I don't think I'm going to make it

Alright now that I'm over my illness and I'm on the other side of christmas. I have 2 days to finish this audio book. Let's see if I can make this shake

This kind of feels like the steve buscemi image with the skateboard but instead it says "how do you do fellow gays"

Sidney is so messy. I want a book just about her.

She's nasty, not apologizing for the other massive lie

Kate Fagan really deserves credit. The ability to write a fake book within a book. And the fake book is just aggresively a book. Its like when you see what fake cartoons looklike inside a cartoon

Whatever the inverse of "I cannot conceive of a universe without you in it."

I don't read poetry often so I'm not sure I will have an adequate review of this. But its interesting so far. I like searching up the bible sections that pair with poems
