Julia Whelan tricked me into reading another romance. Honestly, knowing only author and title, I assumed this was a memoir. And now I’m cracking up about that.
But I love JW. And… Venice!
I actually really like this book a lot.

This is not what I expected. It’s much heavier. It’s well written and I’m totally engrossed in it.

I am not the target audience for this. It makes me feel like a humbug.
I dont usually read romance. (This book is all the reasons why.) But I went into a Christmas romance phase and I think I kept it going for too long.
It also seems way too long. I’d like to just get to the point.
Am I just old and jaded and grouchy?

This is slow going. I’m not motivated to pick it up. I really like the writing. Some people think the author is trying too hard with the “purple prose”, but I like it. It suits the character.

I don’t do well when grief is a main topic. Here it is but it’s not completely overwhelming.
Interesting concept and I like this book a lot so far. I have a feeling it’s going to stick with me a while.
It’s like The Bear meets a medium.

A magic school. Houses. A competition with several trials and co restarts. A hedge maze. A sword that appears when someone needs it.

I know these features aren’t unique to any certain series. But I feel inspiration here. From several books/series, honestly.

This is a magic school in the afterlife, purgatory, actually. that’s kind of cool! I’m not attached to or invested in the characters yet. Or the plot.

I love Backman so much. I always think I want to mark notable quotes in his books, but then I feel like everything is notable and beautiful. He has such a wonderful writing style and such a way with words.

I love this book. Still not a zip through it book. It’s a pace yourself and languidly stroll through it kind of book. Beautifully written. I think some things are about to come together.

Really liking it so far. Honestly, it’s mostly still an introduction to whose these women are but I love the alternating povs. And Schwab’s writing is lovely as ever.

This book is so pretty. It’s gorgeous.
But it is taking me forever. It’s honestly very, very slow. I’ve read 2 books in this time span because I just am not motivated by this one. I like the premise and the writing is good. But the pacing. It’s killing me.

Reading this again because I finished the og trilogy and SoTR. I thought I might like this more if I was invested in panem again. (First read, it had been a long time since I’d read the whole series.)
I don’t. Snow is unsympathetic. He’s selfish and manipulative from the start. Lucy Gray is charming but I don’t know why she loves him and I don’t think he loves her.

I’m emotionally unprepared for this. Yes, we know what happens. But I’m not ready for the details.
And yet, I am, because I am excited to finally start this.

This book is so fucking beautiful it hurts.

I’m scared that to finish it because I don’t know that any explanation will be worthy of this story.

I want to put it down and walk away and ache. I also want to stay up as long as it takes and finish it right now and then carry it around in my soul.

This ending better not suck.

I love this already.
It’s beautifully written.
It’s so very Addie LaRue-esque.

I hope it continues to enchant me.

I went into this only knowing it was about NO. I think I expected historical fiction, maybe witchy stuff. There’s a little of that in there. But it’s also Twilight in New Orleans. I’m actually kind of loving it though.

I'm halfway through this reread and I forgot how good it is. The pacing is excellent. There's not a dull moment or a sentence wasted on irrelevant details. (Reading this with HS book club, some of whom have no experience with the book or the movies and they are riveted.)

Honestly I’m bored.
The first time I tried this, I got about 10 pages in so it grabbed me more this time. But then it let go.
I’m going to finish it. But I’m still bored.

Ok this book is so very beautiful so far. It’s already broken my heart once and I’m guessing it’s destined to do it again.
I love Hazel and I love Merrick and that’s all I’m going to say.
I’m nervous, though. I hope it stays this good. I’m worried the spell will be broken.

Pretty good. I figured out the twist that was revealed halfway through. The rest was sort of typical. The 4th star is for how it nearly wove people in at the very very end

I’ve got the point where this is too long. The first half was intriguing. She HAS been through shit, and I feel for her. Now it’s the “pretty blonde rich girl who only cares about money and exposure” vibe that she’s trying to squash? I’m losing interest. I have about an hour left. I’m ready to be done.
