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.

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.

The way this modern-day, figure-skating AU of Wuthering Heights has me screaming. . . I was not prepared.
