I read a minimum of 50 books every year but I think this year I’ll read 20 and focus on long books I’ve been wanting to read but keep putting off. Same with classics and reading them in depth.

I said I was done with the cosmere (for several reasons) and I hadn’t even realized that a book had come out last year. I haven’t had this much fun reading a book in a while 😭

main character is kind of annoying. thankfully vanessa is saving this story

I loved the first book and now I’m debating dnfing this one. How did we get here 😔

you know when blurbs are like "for fans of (random series that barely has something in common)" well this is for fans of fullmetal alchemist brotherhood and monsters inc

I've read so many non-fiction books about topics I'm interested and retained nothing apart from vaguely referencing something with "I read it somewhere" so I'm going back to books I know I liked and reading it while doing annotations this time in the hope of being to recall information.

Shout out to the library for always making certain books available when I’m not in the mood to read them

When you promise one too many buddy reads. Now I gotta follow through 😭

The way I almost dnf’d this and now it’s gonna end as a 4 star read

Decided to check the reviews and was surprised lol. Though I’ve long accepted I like books where “nothing happens”.

This is not a good book to read when you’re trying to get into classics and this is one of the first I ever read. I’ve read way more classics since then so I’m rereading this to see if I get something different out of it and cuz there’s a movie coming.

I continue to love the world and the story but I can’t stand these characters 😭

3rd read lol every time I'm hopeful that maybe this time the characters won't be so insufferable

dnfing at 50% is crazy

This book sure makes you feel every page. How am I still not done…

I’m enjoying the book for what it is but I think I added this to my list cuz someone mentioned it was about friendship and so far this friendship consists mostly of jealousy. I can honestly say I’ve never had a close friendship where jealousy was prevalent so I’m wondering when the beautiful friendship is gonna show up lol

short books and graphic novels getting me my last 7 books for my goal this year lol

depending on how this ends, I'm about to have the best christmas or the worst

omg

I understand the criticism this book is getting but I simply can't be bothered to care about the prose when I'm enjoying the characters and their stories too much. Won't lie though, reading "I'm game" threw me off so bad lmao

taking my time cuz I know I'm not rereading this anytime soon and also I don't want to say goodbye to these characters. gonna miss fantasy utah.

the amount of times I've laughed. hate that I'm the target audience for sanderson's silly ass humour

I got about 6 hours to finish this book...

If I can read this in 5 days (with the help of audiobook when I’m out of the house), I will have re-read the entire series (~5000 pages) in 30 days

I'm mildly annoyed with the main character but overall, I'm having fun
