Someone said it was like reading about someone having amnesia after every chapter, constantly trying to figure out what's going on. Months later I still haven't finished this little book. I'm just so bored.

Oh lord this book is struggling to keep my attention... I keep fallilng off and having to remind myself that I'm reading it because I forget!

This book is sinking... not sure I'm gonna make it to the end.

This book is such a chore, if it wasn't for my bookclub I wouldn't read it. It's so incredibly chauvinist and patriarical that it makes my blood boil. I hope it get's better.. I can't belive this is 500 pages.

Oh crap, I was enjoying this until the character shares that she was happy when Netanyahu and Trump was elected, then proceeded to follow up with a very pedophilic chapter where she states "I'm not a pedophile because he was 18 in my dream" while the actual child is 12. Ugh. What is even the point?

So far I’ve enjoyed myself and I’ve found so many interesting and relatable cultural references. However, I’m noticing a dip in the material. I’m at Part V and starting to wonder where this is going and why on earth is so long, some of these parts could have been edited out.

This book is dragging, feels like I've been reading it forever...

I read the book in Norwegian, but thought it was meh. But I’m going to try again in English and see if the translation did anything to help.

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Somehow you adopt the dreams that float in the air around you."

Meaning is not something you stumble across or what someone gives you; you bild it through every choice you make, the commitments you choose, the people you love and the values you hold dear.

“Beyond the graveyard whose stones have lost their names to years, there’s a covered bridge laid over a dried-up brook whose memory of water never reached this century. Cross that and you’ll find us. ”

I think I held my breath through the entire first chapter, just WOW!

Better late than never 😅

This book really has no business being 400 pages! Nothing is really happening here…

This is so good it’s hard to stop! Love “behind the scenes” memoirs!!!

Note to self: Don't read the last 20% of Sanderson books in public.

I love the politics of it

Omg this is gonna be so good!!!!

I love you Donna, but damn you're long winded....

Omg the smut… I had no idea 🫣

zzzzzzz I don't know why I put myself through this but here we are...
