Ch. 21 - I've been at my limit for a while. I'm over all of the talk about her dealing with dyslexia and ADHD, I'm starting to think that's the main plot. Yet I had to force myself to stop, I was supposed to stop at chapter 14 but here we are.

40:10 halfway through (10 minutes) into Ch. 5 - It's okay, I'm trying not to think of Stay Awake, but it's obvious something sinister is going on, it giving me Oona Out of Order. I don't like those types of books, but I'm happy to report it only has a little of The Stranger Inside Vibes so I'm very interested and I don't know the end yet.

Ch. 8 - This is such fun! I have to run errands so I have to find an audiobook, but I can't wait to get back home to continue.

Page 28 of 425/460 Ch. 3 - I was wired after the last book, now after reading this story I'm sleepy, and it was starting to get interesting too.

Epitaph And Pens - It's okay. I'm still just trudging along. I think the biggest issue is I don't know how the characters connect but once I get there it will either be really good or just okay. I have my theories.

Page 73 of 360 Day 1,309 of My Captivity - I've been reading this off and on this afternoon as I do chores and it's just okay so far.

Tapping into Technology Bargains - I don't want to abandon this book but I did not need most of the information I just read. I Read a good 100+ tips, I knew about 9 of them already, but I did not need to know a good 75 of them. I think this is a good book to have for reference, I don't think it's a good book to read.

3:23:13 Ch. 12 - Iove it! I'm waiting for it to hit a lull or get cheesy, but just hasn't happened so far, may it never will.

6:20:40 Ch. 36 - I was not expecting this death count at all! Once you get past that and the terror it gets kinda dull only because the descriptions are hard to imagine.

1:45:32 Ch. 7 - This story is kinda scary with a high count. I don't know how this nightmare will end, but I will find out in small doses.

7:39:24 Ch. 24 Jessica - This is a nice story but I don't get why people let their kids talk crazy to them nowadays.

1:05:30 Ch. 5 - This hot bad fast and I didn't know the location beforehand. I need to go somewhere happy for a while.

Ch. 2 Emily Burnstein, 16, Stressed Beyond Belief - Cute! But maybe I'm not in the mood for cute.

8:04:18 Ch. 33 - Ugh! I want to smack these people. The kids' ages and maturity seem very inconsistent.

Ch. 6 Packing Your Bags - The last chapter was very helpful. I'm adding many of these tips to my plans. Only stopping because it's too late to read.

Page 20 of 111 Ch. 4 Finding Your Cruise - This book is pretty much FAQ under various subject chapters. It's easy to read and very informative so far.

Ch. 27 Vanity And Vexation Of The Spirit - I don't love it but I'm mostly enjoying it. Talkative, talk-a-lot, and motor mouth, don't even begin to describe this little girl, I need a new phrase or something.

Ch. 21 A New Departure In Favorings - It has some good moments. I think I'll watch the movie after this.

3:21:56 Ch. 14 - That's still actual cousins! This story is mostly fun but it features a passive MC and is becoming more political with each chapter.

Page 45 of 319 Ch. 4 The Cruise Experience - This book isn't bad, so far I've gotten a good mix of old and new information, and it's more than just an update, there are format changes as well.

Ch. 6 Marilla Makes Up Her Mind - Yep, this is the type of book I avoid as a kid, but it's also the type of movie your parents encourage you to watch and eventually you love it, so I'ma keep going, but mostly because of book club.

Page 29 of 333 five pages into Ch. 3 Marilla Cuthbert Is Surprised - Is everyone in this book going to be surprised? So far it's a little Pollyanna-like and Anne is very talkative, but I'm not mad at it.

Page 25 of 291 September 12, 2008 - This story is a bit vague for my taste, it needs to hurry up. The vibe reminds me of the movie Waitress, with past recipes instead of new ones, and less action.

Page 52 of 378 Day Minus Two, 19:00 - I don't like it. The MC overthinks and fixates on minor details, the author writes a paragraph on topics that only need a sentence. Honestly, her husband's butt didn't need to be mentioned at all but it got 2, or 3 if you count his retort. I'm just not in the mood for over-information and repetitive writing.

1:09:58 Ch. 6. - I could have sworn the twins had different names but I'm not willing to bet on it. This story is set during the last few chapters of the previous book. I'm only stopping because it's late.

8:16:38 Ch. 26 - It has more depth than I expected and it's not following the romance pattern (I like that), but I feel like it should have been nearly over by now, but we're now in part 3.

4:45:39 Ch. 15 - The story has improved but it's still not as good as the first book.
