Pretty strong so far. It'd be easier to list the stories I've enjoyed less than my favorites.

Read the first story, which is also my first from Flannery O'Connor, and yes, it was, in fact, pretty well written.

I fear I should have bought it. I want to annotate.

Part of my original (mostly wrong) prediction, and I am still so not here for it.

You guys my jaw dropped.

Fighting a losing battle not to laugh out loud at work.

This is really freaking good.

"Whatever the technological advances of modern society - and they're nearly miraculous- the individual lifestyles that those technologies spawn may be deeply brutalizing to the human spirit." - Sebastian Junger

I fear in my effort to take a miniscule break from fantasy I course corrected too hard. The essays are fine. The drive is just not there.

This absolute piece of shit.

The curse of looking at spoilers is that I love everything that is currently happening and also feel like I'm going to actually be sick.

I know what's coming eventually, and I HATE it.

Okay, so actually for the moment I am so happy.

I just know I'm not going to react well to any of this.

"You'll write more poems. They are not lost. You are the poetry."

This is one I will be underlining.

Okay, but I love this.

I hate that.

Veering dangerously close to why-do-I-read-these-Godforsaken-books territory. Looked into spoilers to see if my favorite lived and felt such relief and now I gotta worry if he'd be better off dead.

Genuinely just sitting here thinking about how badly I don't want to read what's coming.

I need a pro-shot with a U.S. release 🙏

I've never been so happy to be played.

This f*cking book. I don't think I care about them and then they just break my heart.

At last, I think I'm putting it together. . . As Lyra puzzles it out for me.

I really don't think I'm going to come around to this relationship.

"my darling sister, Marisa" - the way my eyes just shot open

Becoming clearer and clearer that I should have made time to reread The Secret Commonwealth again.

I'm nervous.

Robin Hobb just got a shout-out, so it's guaranteed at least 3 stars.
