The cliffhangers in these books are [usually] so good! The current plan is to read the last chapter (and epilogue) tomorrow so we can watch the movie later in the day. My kid’s excited!

This was a rough chapter tonight. My poor kiddo was upset with the ending. Only three more to go…

I didn’t expect the turn this book has taken, but I’m enjoying it!

So close to the end now… only four chapters left!

This book is a great mix of fun and serious. The story is still developing, but I’m enjoying it… and dreading the potential curveballs to come. I expect some rough stuff to come.

As much as I’m enjoying the Bond books… there are some parts that don’t get better, and they’re annoying. Chief among those are the way female characters are written, being shallow and man-serving.

Apart from that, and the outdated racial terms, I’m enjoying this story.

I can definitely tell Fleming’s writing is improving between books.

We’re nearing the finale… the kid is excited…

I’m finally getting around to this one (while waiting on hold for another audiobook) — I was expecting it to be good, but it is still surprising me! Definitely a worthwhile read/listen; quite thought-provoking.

This one has another drawn-out setup, but so far it’s very interesting. I’m very much looking forward to seeing where the story goes…

These stories really do take their time building the action… but hey, this is better than Moonraker.

So far, this book is better than the one before it. Midnight Library was a good book for the most part, but this story lacks the depressing beginning and, as a result, the depressing undertone to the entire book. This is a definite improvement, in my opinion.

This book is very different from the one before it. I like it so far, but it does seem to have the same awkwardness: some faint hint of inexperience to the writing. Good, but cheesy. It has a great premise though, I’d say!

This is the most I’ve enjoyed this book the entire way through it. How difficult that makes it to put it down for the night!

Book two has been quite a different experience for me than the first… mainly because I have not seen the film adaptation of this one.

So far the story is interesting, but there are far too much racist language (it was first published in 1954) and the occult content (namely voodoo) isn’t something I enjoy.

This is a quicker read than I was expecting. Quite serious and dry, but entertaining — especially having watched the movie not too long ago.

While I am still enjoying this book, I’m definitely tired of the repetitive elements which come with every new book. I feel as though Haig could’ve enhanced the reading experience by giving Nora back-of-the-mind knowledge of the version of herself she was currently living as.

I am equal parts interested in this story and tired of the protagonist. 🙃
