Emilie is on page 9 of 480 of The Norman Achievement (Great Civilizations Series)
Only on page nine and already they're romanticizing the Normans as just about the most special and superior people ever to live 🤦

My gosh it's slow and repetitive

Emilie is on page 51 of 320 of The Best American Mystery And Suspense 2022
collections like this are always a mixed bag but I'm pretty unimpressed so far. lucky thirteen was SO cliche and predictable and unoriginal it was a little ridiculous.

Emilie is 5% done with Vespertine
This book sounded like it would be right up my alley, but the writing is just...not good. Going to try for a little longer and see if I can get into it but I suspect this will be a dnf

Emilie is starting Dancing at the Pity Party: A Dead Mom Graphic Memoir
oh boy, I barely started and I'm already breaking down. I'm gonna have to read this one in short bits at a time.

Emilie is on page 101 of 448 of Gideon the Ninth (The Locked Tomb, #1)
This is an absolutely delightful book. It reminds me of homestcuk, and I mean that in the best possible way.

Gideon the Ninth (The Locked Tomb, #1)

Emilie
Emilie is on page 20 of 502 of The Overstory
So far this is painfully boring. I don't know why I'm supposed to care about a rambling history of a random family over a few generations, when none of the characters are actually even given a personality. I care a little bit about the tree in the center of this arc, which is something, but I really don't care about this generic struggling colonial farmers on the prairie narrative.

Emilie is on page 58 of 140 of The Prisoner of Zenda (The Ruritania Trilogy, #2)
This is hella fun so far, and not only because I've read KJ Charles' incredible Henchmen of Zenda. (Incidentally, the illustrated plan of the castle and chateau included in this book is precisely how I imagined it from her descriptions)

Well, the darn preface of this book (1966 edition) has made me cry

Emilie is on page 39 of 528 of King of Scars (King of Scars, #1)
I can't seem to get into this, so I'm sending it back to the library for now. Not ready to mark it a DNF yet, especially so close to the beginning, but it didn't hook me. I want to read it for Nina, but I don't care about Nikolai or the main plot problem at all.

Emilie is reading Classic Victorian & Edwardian Ghost Stories
Well, so far I've read two of the stories and they're both a little disappointing. One had a ghost but was not very interesting in my opinion; and one didn't have a ghost, or any supernatural element whatsoever, which was very disappointing. It was actually a decent story all told, but quite a let down when you're expecting a ghost and you don't get one.

I'm enjoying this book immensely. Hilarious and deftly political.
