Not interesting enough to want to pick up over other books, but not boring enough to give up on yet, either.

This one is just weird.

Far more laugh-out-loud funny than I expected it to be!

I might start purchasing this book and giving it as a baby shower gift. I wish I had known more of these principles years and years ago.

I've been reading a borrowed kindle copy from the library. I need to buy a printed copy and reread it again, highlighting and taking notes.

Interesting enough, but so far there doesn't seem to be any great, overarching conflict in the plot.

So far it's not really grabbing me, but I'm not ready to DNF.

Slower going than I expected it to be based on how much I enjoyed The Martian and Project Hail Mary. The main character is not nearly as likeable.

I wish I had known a lot of this stuff when my kids were little!

A much quicker read than I thought it would be.

The art connection so far has been surprisingly vague.

This is not my genre (I'm reading it to fill a reading challenge prompt), but so far it's better than I anticipated. :)

This book is interesting enough that I've never considered DNFing it. But, seems like it's taking a lot longer to read than the first one and it feels repetitive.

This series continues to maintain its quality.

Sanderson never disappoints.

This one has the same problem as Jeff's other one in this series, Gods and Generals: the story is fascinating, the prose to tell it is long and drawn out and drones on and on. The middle one of the trilogy, The Killer Angels was written by Jeff's dad Michael and it did not have that problem. Sigh.

Oh my goodness, the unnecessary profanity is almost overwhelming the rest of the story. I wish I had chosen the print book instead of the audio book.

The story is interesting, but the narrator is driving me nuts.

I have never been a big fan of romance, but I'm doing the Nerdy Bookworm challenge this year. Yes, I realize that not all romance is fluffy steam! It's still not my cup of tea. So, I did a lot of research first to, hopefully, help make sure I chose a book I would tolerate well. I picked this book up for the "Friends-to-Lovers" trope challenge and I've been surprised at the depth it has to it.

I'm listening to this one and it's so good I need to buy a print copy and re-listen with a highlighter.

Did anyone else download their Goodreads data that's supposed to disappear soon? I did and I cannot make heads or tails of it or fathom why I would want it. It's all in html code and thus difficult to interpret (although I do have some familiarity with web design). Even that which I can figure out seems useless, e.g. the fact that I commented on someone's review. Anyone know of any reason I should keep any of this?

So much better than Gods & Generals but still a little slow going.

So far this is as good as I expected!!

After a big road trip with the family, I'm excited to get time to finish this (it's on audio so hard to "read" in the car with folks who haven't read the first two installments). :)

Picks up just where Rage & Ruin left off and just as compelling.

Something is finally happening.

This is so not my thing - angsty, tropey, and too fluffy. I've never been a romance book fan, I'm reading this because it meets a prompt for the Nerdy Bookworm 2022 Challenge. So, it really is me more than the book. Almost halfway! I'll make it.

I'm not nearly as into this one as I was to the first. Hopefully it will pick up soon. I can't give up on it because I'm reading it for a prompt in the Read Harder 2022 Challenge.
