High fantasy baby! Took me about 70 pages to understand what’s going on and to process names of people and things. I have to admit, the changes in pov are keeping me flipping the pages. Good pacing so far.

Reading for book club next week… we’ll see if I like this at all lol

Reading this for book club

I’ve been listening to this since June. 😵‍💫 It’s fascinating, boring, and disturbing. Started reading it when I saw that Parvati credits it to helping her win Survivor. And yes, I literally watch that show now saying “Oh, oh, oh, never outshine the master!” and other dumb laws when a player makes a strategic comment. I want to listen to The 49 Laws of Survivor once I get through this behemoth.

A friend gave me this book—first nonhistorical story I’ve read by Kristin Hannah. It’s an oldie. Kind of bizarre but I like that it’s local to where I live.

I’m into this.

Wtf. The locked doors…

Reading this because I want to see the movie. Have no idea what is going on. I have theories though. We’ll see how it comes together…

Idk man. War sucks. Young men fight in wars when they are practically children. At no point in the novel so far has the main character discussed WHY they are at war. And, to me, the WHY is important. Makes me wonder how many people fighting any given war know what they’re doing. People in power giving orders, and people without power following them. I’m curious to watch their circumstances deteriorate more.

Not for me yet I can’t bring myself to DNF.

I’ve had this on my TBR shelf for a while so thought it was time to read. Idk, could be good but I’m still not in a romance genre mood.

Okay, I’ve cried three times. The author has done such a good job painting the political scene AND making us care about individual characters.

Love the friendship at the heart of this… low key terrified to see how everything plays out though.

Okay, this book is adorable. Not much happens but I actually like the characters and the 90s vibe.

I’m pleasantly surprised. So far excited to read the next book.

Idk… I love Ali Hazelwood’s humor and stories. But if I’m being honest, fantasy might not be my fav of hers. One word: Heat… 😵‍💫 I put the book down for a few days because the smut is barely readable.

Has much happened? No. Kind of don’t care about clothing brands either. Wish the main character had some more depth.

Okay, some stuff could have been skipped… like the overly descriptive scenes of child abuse. But overall I’m enjoying the flowery writing, the setting, and - of course - the literary melodrama.
