Definitely a "read after you've read everything else" collection

This is actually going pretty quick to read, even though we're still setting up the new squad which I'm hoping becomes found family

Delta Source is not what I was expecting..m

I thought I was safe to renew because I thought I saw a copy at the library this week buuuut it's checked out and there's a hold, so I need to return this. Luckily, Middle Grade is a quick read!

I appreciate how this is sorted into "[thing/concept] is trying to kill you"

Due on Sunday but I'm pretty close to being done, just have our third act battle to get through

Deeply suspicious of Winter potentially being Delta Source with her background.

The twins are hereeeee (Jacen and Jaina)

Still agog at the mortality rate. But hey, at least our protagonist is communicating now!

"I imagined owning a Nanit instead, lying on the couch and casually thumbing from Reddit to Instagram to my Make Sure the Baby Is Not Strangling on His Home Medical Device feed."

A mention of a $15k oven is surely a reference to Ballerina Farm (chapter titled "Work", about both returning to work after birth as well as the work of parenting and the "second shift")

Wars of Consolidation - should be able to finish today hopefully and finally get this off of my Currently Reading...

it is verrrrrrry easy for the algorithms to full tilt into something once you start doing your on Google searches

the casual mortality of battle college where they ostensibly need every soldier needed still seems like a lot?????

also I guess Andarna's going through her teenage emo phase

I saw Onyx Storm was a Lucky find at the library so I checked it out, only belatedly remembering that it's book 3. Luckily, Iron Flame was available via Libby...

Starting off with a lot of pew pew pews as is tradition

I'm glad I found my discord bump group though I didn't join until start of first tri- have not reached that point in Hess's narrative yet, though she does talk about trawling the Flo anonymous chat and reddit threads which felt relatable.

Idk what Thomas is talking about; this is plenty creepy to me. Maybe the culprit seems super obvious and he isn't bothered by the pov?

I don't have a good sense of if Nancy is freelance or working for a specific publication when she mentions being a journalist and fielding calls from potential sources re: Jason Smith and Amanda Jo Stott-Smith

Interesting editorial error on the Ten Nations entry, doubling up some of the countries: "The countries that formed the first league of nations approximately two hundred years after the Breaking, as a defense against the forces of the Dark One. Coremanda, Essenia, Manetheren, Eharon, Aelgar, Aramaelle, Almoren, Aridhol, Coremanda, Eharon, Essenia, Jaramide, Manetheren and Safer were members. See individual nations"

To Taren Ferry. Under 100 pages left now!

Honestly, the fascinating thing to coming to these way after the ST and PT exist is seeing how other authors interpreted throwaway lines about the Clone Wars etc

Impressively, always finding new ways to make me go, "what the fuck Carl"

The true crime in Oregon aspect is interesting, but I'm a little wary about how we're going to go about talking about motherhood.

Got four chapters in and decided to tandem read L&D in parallel so I paused to flip over to Beau's side. He's still not thrilled about moving to Forks but is less mean about it

Extra space shiiiiiips

Rereading with my mom friends online (and it's the 20th anniversary!)

Maaaaaan I remember Bella being miserable and mean, but wow she's really dismissive of everyone and everything in Forks
