This is not as good as I wanted it to be. Pushing to finish it.

This is so good. Not subtle, but good.

Finally got this back on Overdrive. Got most of the way through it in July and then got put back on the endless waitlist. Hopefully I can finish it this time around.

I am a little sad this isn't a stand alone. I was hoping for a really good stand alone. I am enjoying the concept nevertheless.

I am loving this. It was a little predictable in the beginning but after that it was fine!

I am really pushing myself to finish this by it's publication day but I am struggling. I had such high hopes for another Robin Sloan book after reading Mr. Penumbra's but I am just not connecting with the plot or the characters 😭

I am so excited to start this book. I am also honored that I got an ARC of it to review. I absolutely loved Mr. Penumbra's 24 Hour Bookstore and I have been answering the question, "an author you want to see more from" with "Robin Sloan" ever since. The premise of this book sounds crazy, but I am hoping that it is fantastic!

I am loving this book so far! All of the characters, especially Nell and Prosper, are frequently laugh out loud funny (like many of Alex's characters). It is also such a quick read.

I feel so grateful that I got an ARC of this book and I am freaking out that I get to start it early. Trying to get a head start on my ARC stack before school starts, but we will see how that goes. I can't wait to fall in love with another Alex Bracken book!

My local library just put a bunch of my most anticipated books for the fall in their catalog and I went a bit of spree and put a bunch of them on hold. Getting in line before people realize they can put these books on hold and this list gets massive.

I have heard so many good things about this book and it has been on my TBR for so long. I hope that it is wonderful. We just got introduced to all of the crew members and they are all unique and fun/funny, so I have high hopes.

I am loving this so far! I was listening to it with a friend via audiobook and switching over to the pysical copy isn't nearly as funny, but I am throughly enjoying this read.

Looking for a sure fire way to make yourself drive again after having not done so for a long time? Put books that you desperately want to read on hold at your library so you have to drive and get them.

I unhauled 15 books yesterday! It was stressful at first, mainly because of the big hole that was left on my bookshelf. But after getting rid of them and spending the day searching for new books that I was genuinely interested in, I felt much better about getting rid of them. It was very liberating. Yay for unhauls!

For the most part, this is a really fun read. It is super fast and so far I am enjoying Olly and Maddy's love story much more than the characters from The Sun Is Also A Star.

I really need to be reading some more novels, but all of these graphic novels are calling my name!

I don't know if I am loving how instalovey this book is, but I do like the diversity.

I find myself trying to listen to this before I go to bed, but then I have to lean over to bookmark the audiobook. There are so many lines that I can relate to. Neal Shusterman is doing a really good job of encapsulating mental illness honestly.

Just noticed that I am officially half way through my reading challenge. Yay for progress! I am reading so much more this summer than I was last summer. Knock on wood that no reading slumps come my way.

I am listening to the audiobook of this and I am so confused. The narration is great and I'm confused in an interesting and intellectual way but I have little to no idea what is going on. It is really good though!

I have wanted to get my hands on this graphic novel for a while and I am loving it so far!

I love this. I love this. I love this!

This book is incredibly hard to read for the best reason. It is heart wrenching and captures the feeling of an eating disorder very well. I am reading this for my creative writing class and although I don't think that I would keep reading it right now because of how uncomfortable I am feeling, I also feel like it is good that I have to finish it because I know that it is a very important read.
