PKR really is the GOAT of narrative non fiction

I keep waiting for this book to kick into gear but I’m not there yet

Ducking in and out in between library holds- I expect this book will take me all year, but I am enjoying reading just a chapter or two at a time.

Didn’t really get to it and then the loan was up on the library so putting it on hold until my turn to borrow it comes up again :)

Very kingfisher (which I enjoy)- the main character is a little frustrating but there are solid grounds for why established early on. I love how TK interprets fairy tales and it will always keep me coming back.

Due back at the library - might pick up again another time but I won't lie, it's not grabbing me and I find myself going to read other things (this has more to do with me/my tastes than the book itself which has an engaging tone and is well written - just not for me!)

I left it on my desk at work over the weekend and I’m so sad 😩 but is probably better for my chances of finishing the other books I’m reading haha

Got really good at 50% and I started smashing through it. Only have 4 days left on the Libby loan so hopefully I can make it!

Thought I was in a reading slump but it turns out the other books I’ve been reading probably just aren’t stories that I want to keep reading because this one has caught me, hook, line and sinker. Turns out Nina Allen is a writer I really need to read more of because her particular schtick is like crack to me.

Really struggling to engage with this. Considering a dnf but will give it one more go (I care about tova but none of the others)

God I love Chloe Hooper.

Due back at the library and never got into it enough to speed read through, so dnf-ing for now.

Not exactly what I wanted from this book when I heard about it (a lot of client stories, but I wanted the science) though still engaging.

DNFing. Switched from the audiobook to the ebook (yay for libraries) which was way better but whenever I pick it up I think longingly of the other books I could be reading instead, so I'm calling it.

I think this book needed to be in first person, which is usually the last this I want but third person is really limiting its emotional range. The humour is great though and it’s a good bedtime read.
