I tried so hard to finish this before I had to return it to the library, but I couldn't. Luckily, the waiting list is short, so I'll get it back soon. Still considering it an accomplishment.

I am flying through Everything I Never Told You. I love the writing style and the commentary, although the story isn't as gritty yet as I had hoped. Maybe it is because the writing style makes me feel separated from the grit, as it is only there to provide a platform for the rest of the characters to perform. I'm not sure yet.
*My second to last read for the Winter Biannual Bibliothon*

I have to power read this over the next two days because it is due back at the library and I need to finish it!

If this wasn't an ARC, I would have put it down ages ago. I was so excited for this but I am not liking any of the characters and the exposition is disjointed.

Christmas has come again and I FINALLY got this book back. Halla Praise!

I WILL finish this before the end of the year!! (I am so determined)

If this wasn't an ARC, I would have put it down by now. All of the characters have ridiculous names and are incredibly unlikeable. Also, there is so much "tell don't show" it hurts. Hopefully it gets better but I am struggling.

I am loving this book so much! Definitely going on my "favorite reads of 2017" list.

I feel like this book is something special. I am really loving it so far!

I am really loving this one. YES!

I have a feeling this one is finally going to get a five out of five for me. I am really liking it so far! Also, there is a bunch of stuff at the beginning of this book that the movies simplified/cut out that I am enjoying a great deal.

I finished a horrendous group project today, thank goodness! I haven't read anything in what feels like forever, thanks to midterms and finals. I decided to stay up and finish All the Crooked Saints, because having it unfinished was putting me in a slump. I am probably going to regret staying up so late tomorrow when I am trying to study, but for now I am glad that I can move on to another library book.

I am reading this. so. slowly!!!

All my holds came in at once. Now I have 10 books taunting me from where they are piled on my desk. I can't read them until finals is over! I am so overwhelmed. Send help!

I am definitely liking this one more than the Chamber of Secrets. Also, I finally got my hands on the Stephen Fry audiobook version and it is heavenly. I am flying through this series!

This book reminds me of Station Eleven. Super slow, but totally worth it. I think it will be a 4 or 4 1/2 when I'm done!

I am having a hard time picking this back up, since I couldn't find exactly where I left the first time around. Still, I am really enjoying it.

I have been waiting since April for this audiobook. I finally got it and it is so good! I love the full cast and all of the actors are doing such a good job.

I've spent the last couple of hours reading this. It is moving pretty slowly, but I am loving the tone, writing style, the magical realism elements (which threw me off in the beginning) and the humor. There have been some quite funny sections of this book so far. I am looking forward to reading more this weekend :)

I am loving this so far. I have to read it quickly before it is due back to the library!

I just spent 2 sold hours binge reading the last 200 or so pages...

I am loving this book. I have sticky noted the crap out of it and there are so many quotes that I relate to. I hope it continues to be good.

I have listened to the first chapter of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone several times in the past when I have been in between audiobooks. However, I have never continued. I was in between audiobooks and decided to pick this one up. Then, when I got another audiobook from the library, I found myself in the mood to finish. So I guess I am reading Harry Potter now! So far, it is amazing.

I have to return this to the library in three days so you can bet I'll be power reading it over the weekend.

The Trails of Apollo may be my favorite series of Rick's.

This may be my most anticipated release of the fall, if not one of them. I am so pumped!

This is just as enjoyable as the first one. Again, the writing style is really on the nose, so if you want subtlety this not your book. I am still really loving it though!
