I'm not crying, you're crying.

Does the public library really save you money if you spend all your lunch break burning gas and hitting up coffee barns so you can keep listening to your book?

I WANT A DRAGON. I have not wanted a magical beast so badly since I was given Arrows of the Queen as a middle schooler. SOMEONE GIVE ME A DRAGON.

This. Is. AWESOME.

I am not ready for this book to be over. Two more discs is NOT ENOUGH.

I KNEW IT. Smug reader is smug.

I do not feel that my co-workers are showing adequate concern for the SHEER TONNAGE OF FEELINGS that this book is giving to me.

OH NO MY FEELS.

This is the sweetest, most beautiful homage to slash fic I have ever seen. I am rooting for these kids like an entirely unhinged shipper. Reminds me of old times.

Okay, I think I've got half the plot twist figured. But the second half of her shenanigans always eludes me... Also, I need a Penelope Bunce 4 Mage bumper sticker. Now.

I'm fine I'm fine I'm fine I'm fine I AM NOT FINE ANYMORE.

I am loving the Clara flashbacks but I do wish there were a little more in the present. Holmes is at his most appealing when he's accidentally giving a shit about another human, and I miss those moments.

!!!!!!!!

It is a truth universally acknowledged that a woman in possession of a Rainbow Rowell audiobook must be in search of a long drive.

"Poodle-faker" is my new absolute favorite old-timey term. It's got everything the English language has to offer.

I know that these books are accurate to their time, but if King references Japanese people struggling with English L and R one more time, I'm really gonna be pissed. This had better be relevant to the plot, lady.

Giles Corey was a BAMF. I did not know and am appalled to discover that his minister excommunicated him, explicitly consigning his soul to hell, as Corey was being pressed to death. Because Corey, in refusing to confess to witchcraft even under torture, was clearly committing the sin of suicide. It's true what they say: goyim are a fucking adventure.

Here come the Proctors!

I will admit to being...underwhelmed at first. But as usual, James still manages to grab me right by my feels.

I'm...disappointed. It's not that it's bad. But she wrote this series already. This is 100% recycled material.

My co-worker informed me that the author, Tracey Stewart, is also Mrs. Jon Stewart, and now so many of these anecdotes are 200% better!

This is also an excellent example of the importance of church and state. Don't mix them. People get hanged.

Listening to this right after finishing Making A Murderer might have been a mistake. I'm yelling all kinds of legalistic nonsense at my car stereo.

I had to wait DAYS to finish this book because ListenAlaska ate the last half of the last part of the audiobook. TORTURE.

"I'd rather talk to you everywhere." WHUMP.

Mitch for MVP!

"My body is the villain. That's how she sees it. It's the prison, keeping the better, thinner version of me away. But she's wrong." KICK YOUR MOM IN THE NUTS, TOO.

This seems pretty superficial so far...
