If I’m going to read this book, I want credit for it.

Taking a break

Taking a break.

Everything about this book is not good.

Amy, the renowned Jeopardy! champion, just admitted she’d never heard of Crystal Gale before and I think we might now be enemies???

Page 308: The page on which the murder detectives pick up what I’ve been thinking for the previous 308 pages.

I can’t attest that this wouldn’t also be true for the physical book but this audiobook is about 5 hours too long.

I don’t understand how I’ve been in the middle of the dramatic reveal for ages and there is still 2.5 hours of audiobook left???

Only 5 hours left!

I'm an hour into the audiobook and I don't know if I can do this one.

Reading this bc it was the first audiobook I could get and I can’t just be listening to 0 audiobooks at any given time. Just added to Goodreads and see that my friends give it an average rating of 1.67, haaaaah.

It has come to my attention when scanning this childhood fave’s barcode that not only have I read this recently, but I gave it 5 stars? I was pretty sure I hadn’t read this since 1995 so if that did happen I have completely blocked it from my memory. Anyway, Creepy Dollz 5Eva.

How you can tell I have a baby: I read Dan Brown books on my phone to stay awake in the middle of the night.

This book is 100 pages too long.

I own 1 million books I have yet to read, but it’s been a while since I’ve read my winter favorite 💕

Real estate horror 😱

Samantha misses Nellie? That’s surprising, considering she hasn’t been mentioned since Book 3 and was not invited to Samantha’s birthday party.

Okay, my head has already exploded 15 times in 3 pages. Grandmary is sailing around the world on the Admiral’s yacht?? I am having a hard time picturing this. How many servants did she take with her and does the yacht have a parlor?? What is she wearing, an L.L. Bean brand high-necked lace-collared velvet dress??

Continuing my journey by reading only Sophisticated Books for Real Smart Adults

IT’S SAMANTHA TIME BITCHESSSS

My recollections of Samantha: She’s rich so I assume child me automatically assumed she was a snob (LOL like I did not have a privileged upbringing). She had a servant/“friend” and no parents. She doesn’t like needlepoint?

I assume Kirsten commits a hate crime in this book because it’s not available in my whole public library catalog

Back on my bullshit 😎

If I read enough American Girl books this year I will definitely meet my reading goal 💅🏻

I want to read the other books in the series, so here I am re-reading a book I read in 2008 and gave 2 stars (fortunately I found a copy at Goodwill for $1 so I didn’t have to pay full price for a book I’d already bought and gave to Goodwill myself)

I. AM. OBSESSED.

I exclusively refer to this book as “My Beautiful Dark Twisted Vanessa” in conversation.

Seems like a good book to read while I’m tryna buy a house

I had heard from multiple sources that this book is great but damn it is taking me 9.,000 years to read it

I am addicted to starting books right now
