Cassandra Hamm > Recent Status Updates

Trying to remember what happened in the last book 😅 probably shouldn’t have waited so long to read this one

*muffled sobs*

“Why Cassie,” you say, “didn’t you just reread this?”

Well, yes. But I finally got my friend to try it and she wants to buddy read, so obviously I will be rereading it for the fourth time. (Alongside another friend.)

(Not the audiobook this time, sadly, since I won’t be able to access it in time. But it’ll be good to read the physical copy! I’ll just miss Gemma Whelan’s narration.)

It’s been too long since I read this beautiful, heartbreaking book <3

“‘What you’re afraid of. I don’t need to ask.’

My stomach tightened. ‘Oh? Enlighten me.’

‘People being mad at you. Someone not liking you. Disappointing someone.’”

I feel seen 😅😅

“I just don’t want you so focused on everyone else that you miss out on YOU. You work so hard to do what others want, and they never stop to ask what you want, which means you never ask yourself either. That matters, Evie. You matter too.”

😭💜

I have to clean but I just want to keep reading this adorable book 😭💕

Can honestly say was NOT expecting the book to go this direction O_O but I can get behind it

“I heard he was arrested for stealing hamsters from pet stores and releasing them on city buses.”

“That’s oddly specific.”

I KNEW THIS BOOK WAS GOING TO BE GREAT

I don’t like what Onestar’s character has morphed into. He used to be a great cat; that was why Tallstar appointed him as last minute leader. He suddenly became very hostile, I believe in the third series, and I wish that weren’t the case. It’s upsetting to read about him now. Sort of a Bluestar-esque paranoia.

Their messages back and forth are SO FREAKING CUTE I am a fan

I’ve been meaning to read this one for years but am not sure I’m enjoying it. I’ll keep pushing through to see if I get more into it. Hope it’s not a DNF.

Was going to wait longer to start this series but changed my mind XD getting close to finishing my Warriors reread!!

“How can we conclude except by acknowledging that an act of translation is then necessarily always an act of betrayal?”

So fascinated by these intellectual concepts

It’s been too long since I read a YA mystery

Bramblestar is so oblivious *facepalm*

The intellectual concepts in this are fascinating. I can see why my friend who loves con-langing loved this book.

Time travel books can be very confusing XP

“Detective Blackburn” drawing on her knowledge of cozy mysteries to figure out whodunnit is peak comedy *chef’s kiss* this is a whole new side to Cadence and I am LOVING IT

“When did you start making your feelings smaller for other people’s benefit?”

This one’s going to make me cry too, isn’t it 🥺 I feel like Hannah Bonam-Young GETS me

OOOOH WE’VE GOT A GOOD OLD FASHIONED MURDER MYSTERY 😃

This series was made for me

I remember this one being weird because younger me didn’t like the parts where Jayfeather does his dream thing where he essentially goes back in time and lives as another cat. Adult me has really enjoyed those parts because they’re unique compared to the rest of the series, so I think I’ll like it a lot more this time through.

“‘Are you [scared]?’

‘I’d be an idiot if I wasn’t.’

‘I’m not scared,’ Hawthorne announced.

‘I rest my case.’”

I love these chaotic children so much XD

Been waiting four years for this one 🥹🥹🥹 SOOOO READY

Have I mentioned how much I adore this book

“Their archers reached the front lines, knelt, and starter shooting at the golems. I started laughing. I couldn’t help it. Stab a bunch of toothpicks into a loaf of bread and you’ve got, I don’t know, an appetizer or something. Not a dead golem, anyhow.”

I just adore Mona’s commentary XD

“It is nearly impossible to be sad when eating a blueberry muffin. I’m pretty sure that’s a scientific fact.”

ACCURATE

Primo Cell becoming president is a little too similar to current events

I’m pretty sure this is the one I read. It seems vaguely familiar. Might’ve read other installments of this series too. I definitely like it better than the first book.
