I’m in a terrible reading drought

Huh?

Chapter 58's reflection on marriage just blew my mind.

Rather struggling to finish this

Good news: He's dead!

Casaubon is still not dead

I cannot WAIT for Causabon to DIE

I am obsessed with this book.

Proceeding at a breakneck speed with a lot of breathless confusion

I keep opening this up, reading a few pages and getting freaked out.

I will never financially recover from this book

When will this boomeranging zigzag of a fact-filled bathroom reader END for the love of GOD

This is painfully good. Exquisite.

Woo-eee, these ladies are catty! Whose idea was it to send the Real Housewives of Earth up into space? Plus, everyone is pregnant at the same time? This all-girls high school is full of not-great hormones and ready to mean-girl you with a rude word for zero reason in a hot second. Yikes.

Respectfully, this book is making me nauseous.

This is So. Boring. I’m getting bogged down in Cromwell’s monastic reforms and the random assortment of plenaries he utilizes to effect them. It’s well-written but definitely more of a non-popular semi-academic biography.

I am 100% absorbed into Thomas Cromwell’s imagined life. I wake up having dreamt of it.

Oh my god, this is brilliant, hilarious poetry. I pray it keeps going this good. I’ve giggled and laughed out loud so much. And wondered. Why was this not on ONE end-of-year 2022 wrap-up list!?

This is so. Good. So funny and weird and easy to read. Savoring every word.

ENDLESS

This is longest book ever and it’s all in one voice.

This book is awful. But I’ve gotten so far!
