books 1-9. first library loan is up, glad to have made headway!

this is so exactly my shit !!!

finally at the sewer chapter!!! the timing is hilarious - characters dying tragically at the barricade, dramatic conclusion queued up, but dear Victor grinds everything to a halt to expound on Paris's rivers of poop. Tell me more about the thematic relevance of humanity's literal shit - we cast off our saving grace, we cruelly throw away what will nourish the rich soil of life, etc etc. The wretched indeed!

yes... I'm still reading this... chipping away at the brick

first library borrow is up oops... didn't get as far as expected. back in the hold line!

The tension between girl character and boy character would only compelling if you are emotionally invested in the bond between the friend group... which I don't... they're just not compelling... I don't l care what happens next, and wow so much of this writing annoys me. Dropping it!

yooooooo everything about this is EXACTLY what I want to read.

yet another romance novel, you ask? despite only half enjoying them?? what can I say, I'm at the mercy of all the holds I put on library audiobooks.

picking this back up again, it's been a year oops

time stamp 12:36:30... library due gotta wait for a hold again

reading this a little at a time, still

An important book I want to read, but I'm retaining nothing from the audio version. will come back to this some day...

SCREAMING!!!

this book was really dragging for me at first but now finally finally it's all gone BATSHIT WILD, the supreme levels of I CAN'T BELIEVE WHAT TF I'M READING that I've come to expect from this series. hell yeah hell yeah now I'm having fun

and I'm really gonna have to read Iliad & Odyssey now for real. also more anime I guess??

hmm I'm having trouble focusing on fiction recently, and I thought historical fiction, genre switch, might bridge the gap, alas -- but I will come back to this!!

I need to come back to this in print; my focus is not retaining what is necessary & it deserves attention

I accidentally bought this audiobook,v was put off by summaries that sounded too YA dystopia tropey, then the beginning drew me into the world, but then!! fridging the wife as the instigating event! groundbreaking!! *sigh*

I've been reading this for forever and not yet a third through... Really enjoying!!! but life's been busy and it's loooong lol

I only just realized this was a sequel, because I'm an idiot... that explains a lot lol.

I think I'll have to listen to a good four hours or so again... I love the premise and scope, but cannot bring myself to get invested at all. I'll blame the audio narrator?? I want to love it...

time stamp 18:43:00. library loan is up, putting another hold in.

there's a lot of events to tell and he has a lot to say about them, but still coulda been edited down significantly imo
