Perfect way to start the weekend.

The cast of the this book is killing me. I love Linden, Seung, and especially my precious child Ham. These kids are great.

What a lovable cast of characters. Aw.

"the thing about writing is
i can't tell if it's healing
or destroying me"

Same.

Thank you to one of my librarians for finally informing me that this book was available online. I'm going to binge read the whole thing right here, right now.

Thanks to Edelweiss and HarperCollins for the ARC. I’m only two percent in, and I can tell this one is going to be interesting....

Over a hundred and seventy pages in, this finally, truly picks up.

The book itself is good, but nothing amazing. The author is a huge fan of description, so at times, it can be a bit overwhelming...

This is exactly what I need right now.

Should be titled: "Loose Morals, Beautiful People, and Extreme Adjectives" A Novel by F. Scott Fitzgerald.

As expected, this is picking up...

This is hilarious. He reminds us how awkward young love really is.

I'm using this book for a speech, yet I've never actually read it... I should probably do that.

While it's not the best thing I've read from a literary standpoint, Josh's sense of humor and awkward date stories are hilarious.

I finally managed to snag this from the library! I'm so excited for my first Rupi Kaur. :)

(Also, what are the chances that my first two books of the year are Canadian?)

First read of 2018... almost finished!!!

As we watch our friends tackle multiple books a day, I want to make a shoutout for my fellow slow readers (and fellow readers with ADHD). We may take a week to read a book, but we still love books just as much as those who read hundreds a year. ❤️❤️❤️

The reading slump is beginning to fade...

Thanks to Netgalley for the freebie. Who knows; maybe this cutie is what I need to pull me out of my slump.

I love Holly Black. I know this will pick up. But my reading slump is making progress difficult...

WHy must I start the new year with a reading slump?!?!

Wow. Once the first hint was dropped, I saw it coming, but still. The last quarter of this book has been a rollercoaster.

This is such a typical YA romance, but at least it’s unique in other ways. So far, this book is just a lot of fun.

Today was an audiobook in front of the fireplace kind of day... :)

These books make me yearn for both love and travel... Gah.

This is how I plan to spend my Christmas Eve. Reading these three, short pages of my glorious Raven Boys. No better way to prepare for the holiday.

Unpopular opinion: I know there is the mystery surrounding Cadence's head injury, but I was expecting a little less teen summer romance and a little more mysterious, rich people illegal activity...

This writing style strongly reminds me of Anna-Marie McLemore. Same intricate wording and lavish descriptions.

At the moment, I’m just kind of “meh” about this. I love the musical, but I’m not loving this as much as I hoped.

Nothing screams “holiday festivity” like emotionally draining psychological thrillers. :)

I need life to stop being needy so I can finish this book...
