Ok, I don’t mean to be a sour grape, but, I really don’t like the I-just-accidentally-kissed-you-but-we-are-going-to-pretend-I-didn’t trope. Who is this happening to?! Does this really happen to people??

I love to hate Antinous.

Reading this for 8th grade English class, and I’m already invested. Nolan says, “The world-building sucks.” 😄 Totally disagree!

Rerouting my reading life back to the classics—in this case really classic.

This book is making me feel lazy. Pa is out there continually hunting and setting traps in the woods, and he butchers a pig, skins a deer, and then heartily plays the fiddle every evening. And Ma is churching her own butter and making headcheese for the girls. Oh, and Laura has a “doll” made out of a corncob and a dishrag, so there’s that.

Scratching that DCC itch with another Lit-RPG book. This one is similar in vein but also trying to do its own thing, and I appreciate that

I’m only 1/3 of the way through this 1,000-pg tome, and it’s a library book, and there’s no chance I’m going to finish before the due date. I think this is one of the rare instances where I will need to buy a book just so that I can read it. My book-buying-ban will have to be paused 😄

After having read/listened to this book twice now, and watched the film three times, I guess you could say that I am not over the hype. 😇

It’s so sweet and heartwarming! I keep tearing up while listening to this.

Yay! I have been waiting for months for the audiobook copy of This Book Made Me Think of Youto be available on Libby. Finally getting to read it!

Velociraptors are freaking scary. Only Carl and Donut could make them less so.

One of the only books my husband has ever voluntarily read: I better give it a go. 😄

Down to 18 books on my Want to Read shelf in Goodreads!

“Who was I? Was I Bob? Or was Bob dead? In engineering terms…Bob was more than a hunk of meat. Bob was a person, and a person was a history, a set of desires, thoughts, goals. Bob was the accumulation of all that Bob had been for thirty-one years. The meat was dead, but the things that made Bob different from a chipmunk were alive. In me. I am Bob. Or at least, I am the important part thats made Bob.”

I’ve already penned a review, and I’m only 1/3 of the way through 😋

Should I read books 2 and 3 before starting my current book? Probably. Did I? Nope.

It’s cold and wet outside, so might as well read something a bit comforting tonight.

I like it; Nolan does not. 🤷‍♀️

We are back in the thick of it, and it’s a glorious place to be. 😎

Department of Mysteries…

I need to finish this book before the new year.

If I were 14 years old, I could get behind this plot.

If Dumbledore and the rest of the Order had just explained to Harry precisely why he needed occlumency, things wouldn’t have gone south so badly.

I love the D.A.

The chapter titles are great.

If I could ignore all of life’s responsibilities and just read this book, that would be great.

The audiobook never disappoints.

Grover has been a [*****] all along?!
