Finished Book II. Wow. Little slower than book one, but still very good. So far Book III has been unreal and I GUESS I have to go to bed, but I could easily finish this before sunrise. Fran? Still my goat. Harold? Chud. Dayna? The definition of a badass woman. So glad Kojak is joining the fellas to their journey out west. Also, Lloyd is an absolute horn-dog… woof.

Harold is nuts, Fran? Still my goat. I keep picturing Leo/Joe as Atreus or something. I see Tom as Lennie Small from Of Mice and Men. Gotta read that again - good read (pun intended).

If you can’t afford a movie, go to the zoo. If you can’t afford the zoo, go see a politician.

Probably the first person in history to read a few hundred pages of this book during an Ella Langley/Eric Church concert.

So good, multiple new characters that I can follow the storyline to (unlike the regulators). Wait until Larry finds out Harold is a fat awkward antisocial 15 year old rather than a 32 year old good looking farmer, haha.

Finished Book 1, very good, sad, funny (at times). Right now I might clock Harold but I remembered he’s a chud.

I gotta know what Fran looks like after all these guys keep falling for her, I mean what’s the big deal? (I would definitely fall for her). #hashtag

This one’s wild, almost like Life As We Knew It, but 100 times worse and graphic…

I’m tired. Thankfully it’s almost Friday, few

Ironic that everyone’s dying in this book. Haha. Why couldn’t I read peppa pig goes to the library, or Marianne being in Italy doing something dumb.

Started this book a year ago, needed something to read before I go back to the library. It’s over 1,100 pages so hopefully I can get it done soon.
