If Maggie O’Farrell writes a book, you can bet I’m going to read it.

I deserve a shorty little book after the last one, okay?

A big deep breath of appreciation for rereading my favorite of the series.

I would be alright with Claire Foy reading most audiobooks.

Not sure if I’m far enough post-COVID to be reading this, it feels so eerie. But the first few chapters were 10/10.

Following up a DNF with Amor Towles, who is about as reliable as you can get.

200ish pages in to this massive novel (715 pages) and I think this might be a contender for best read of 2024.

Excited to give this a revisit. I’ve heard great things about the Audible version read by Thandiwe Newton.

A reread (or in this case, listen) in preparation for the Netflix series to be released in a few weeks.

I read this a full 15 years ago. I’m excited to give it a reread as an adult.

Just can’t get enough of the Grishaverse. This has been such a great fantasy series. I’m sad to be on to the last of the trilogy, but excited to move on to other series in Bardugo’s world. I’d you’ve slept in this series so far, WYD?

I like Ruth Chou Simmons and her ministry. Her art is gorgeous. This just felt awfully repetitive. It was a bit of a stretch to have 25 Advent readings.
