I am so hyped for this even though I know nothing about Jane Eyre.

There is a lot of good here, but I feel like it is a little underdeveloped.

Picked up a physical copy of this book earlier this year from the library but never got around to it. Saw the audiobook on Overdrive and thought I'd give it a try. It isn't very long, but so far I am enjoying it. The narrator is awesome.

Some of the essays haven't resonated with me, but I feel like they have all been high quality. I think that this collection could be good for those struggling with their own mental health, as well as those who may want to understand the struggles of their loved ones who are struggling. I have enjoyed reading the essays of authors that I know, as well as those who I am unfamiliar with.

I picked this up on a whim after seeing it on my library's catalog. I don't understand why more people are reading this book. So far, I have felt very represented by the essays included in this anthology. There have been several sentences where I just stopped and was like, "Yes. That is exactly right." I don't even like anthologies usually!

Just looked through the books I have read so far this year and realized that I only really have one favorite from the list. There were four that were really good, but the rest were either forgettable or not that great. Trying to change that around by the end of the year.

This is a little bit of a smutty hot mess and I just want to finish it and move on

This is just letting me down and I am pushing to finish it

I am not even half way and I am already sticky noting the crap out of this book. I hope it gets better, but the characters are already getting on my nerves a little.

Audiobook is definitely the way to go with this one. I am really loving it but when I was trying to read it as an ARC or physical copy, my brain was just not having it. The narrator is really killing it

The writing reminds me of John Green. It is very pretentious, and there is already instalove. I also don't know if I am totally in love with the idea of the sleep and the Awake. I know what it is going for, but I am still not digging the symbolism. Maybe that will change. I know this is a really devisive read, so I am trying to go in with an open, yet critical mind.

Okay, so we're doing this. Either I am going to love it, or hate it. Guess I'm about to figure out which one.

I don't think that I consider this to be the amazing finale that I thought it was when I first read it, but it still holds up in many ways. Probably taking it down to a 4.5 or a 4 stars though after this read, which may be, in part, to the audiobook quality. We'll see.

This is my favorite Wayward Children book, just behind the first one. It is so much fun!

It's been slow, but I'm so close to finishing my reread.

This feels like the part of 1984 when they are alone in the appartment. But, like, the whole book is like that. There was also two whole pages that were one continuous sentence.

I am paying fines on this to keep it longer so I am powering through!

I'M FREE! Took my last exam today and I graduate on Saturday. Now if I just can get out of my book slump, I will be back on track.

It is astonishing how little of this I remember

I feel like I have finally found a fantasy novel that is to high fantasy for me.

Had the urge to re-read this again since the trailer came out. Maybe I will get through all of them by August.

Finally catching up on ARCS. This is first on my list.

It took me a bit to get accustomed to all the characters and POVs, but I am really liking this. Highly recommend the audiobook version.

The audibook finally came in from Overdrive and I am pumped!

I am in such a reading slump. I have started reading so many books and am not really in the mood for any of them. Nooooo!!!!

I think the most difficult part of this book was the set up. It felt very slow. It is paying off though, which is nice.
