I don’t know what is going on but I think I like it?

“The people which sat in darkness saw great light: and to them which sat in the region and shadow of death light is sprung up. From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.”
- Matthew 4:16-17

“Only fear the LORD, and serve him in truth with all your heart: for consider how great things he hath done for you.”
- 1 Samuel 12:24

“But the blots were more expressive to me than the best composition; for they showed me that Peggotty had been crying all over the paper, and what could I have desired more?”
(p. 257)

“But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost. And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus: for he shall save his people from their sins.”
- Matthew 1:20-21

“Who is able to stand before this holy LORD God? and to whom shall he go up from us?”
- 1 Samuel 7:20

I’m on the verge of dnfing but I’m just interested enough in what’s going to happen that I think I’m just gonna go on ahead… hopefully it gets better!

“And Hannah prayed, and said, My heart rejoiceth in the LORD, mine horn is exalted in the LORD; my mouth is enlarged over mine enemies; because I rejoice in thy salvation. There is none holy as the LORD: for there is none beside thee: neither is there any rock like our God.”
- 1 Samuel 2:1-2

***SPOILERS***

The jump in 15 pages from “I wish I had died. I wish I had died then, with that feeling in my heart! I should have been more fit for Heaven than I ever had been since.” to “‘She is dead.’ There was no need to tell me so. I had already broken out into a desolate cry, and felt an orphan in the wide world.” 😭💔 I love David so much already, this is killing me!

This is super intriguing so far! I have to finish it in the next week bc it’s due at my library, so that will force me to get a move on with it hopefully 🤞

I’m not loving this so far but I can see the potential. I really just want how the time crossing works to be explained to me. Like, give me a breakdown of *why*!

I would DNF but I hate DNFing this late into the book…

This is fun so far, but kind of just on a surface level..? Idk we’ll see as it goes on.

This is kinda crazy so far but I love the concept!

I don’t have much hope for this as I’m not one for haunted stories usually, but this seems pretty cool so far.

I have read bits and pieces from this over the years, but never the full original text so I’m really excited to get into this since I already know that I love Davy! ☺️

Reading this one for a college class that I’m reluctantly taking. The concept is super interesting but the way it’s done (aka. incredibly race-obsessed) is just frustrating for me

I’ve heard conflicting things about this, but I physically own it so I’m gonna give it a shot…

When I tell you that I am bored out of my mind right now….

This book is saving me from going into a reading slump I swear 🙌
