I’ve been reading this book for a year now, it’s a good book I just keep picking up other ones LOL

I really do not like “A Predicament”

Wow, it has taken me a long time to get back on track with the Graceling realm but I am so absolutely thrilled to be transported into this world once more!
I read “Graceling” itself years ago and I have been thrilled ever since finding “Fire” and then “Bitterblue”.

Oh my gods… Incredible.
Honestly really glad I waited until now to start this duology.
The writing is so delicious it tickles my brain just right and the plot is SO ENTICING!

Not so please with this story, it includes cats & they perished in the most disastrous manner.
I am a big cat lover so this really hurt my heart and made me want to put it down and leave it unfinished.

Sonnet — Silence

on my journey back to the world of literature, thanks Poe for lighting the way

• introduction •

I learn something everytime I pick it back up

oh my gosh, i love them

• The Facts in the Case of M. Valdemar •
so many thoughts with very few words actually daring to leave my mind.
this must be one of the inspiring writings Sir Arthur Conan Doyle came across.
every story draws me closer to Poe.

Terrible logging habits: not logging books 😭
Cannot for the life of me remember when I started this, but here we are now.

I label this required reading as an adult!

(from this morning’s read)
The Assignation;
what a strange story, like a short re-telling of Romeo & Juliet

I would love to read an updated version where “Indian” and “red men” aren’t used.
Feels incredibly racist.

So excited and nervous to finish this series, it’s been one of my favorites for years. 🥹

So good 😭

(Took a little break but we are back at it!)

Reading went super well yesterday, I love this series. 🫶🏼
