wow this is kind of boring

*strums a guitar* this is a song called I have 24 hours left to listen to this audiobook and it probably will not happen

so far I really like the potential of this! it’s super well-written.

I don’t know what the hell is happening in this book

i Love this audiobook but so far this Book is not doing very much? I loved the opening so much but I'm right now very unmotivated.

well, it's certainly easy to read, but a lot more focus on the love story in the past than on.... the subject of the book. we'll see.

by the time I’m back on the grid, I think I’ll have finished with this!! it has gotten SO GOOD

a maybe-love triangle I dislike, but a super interesting / horrifying world 👌👌

hey, do you guys know how to find the yearly lineup for a certain publisher / imprint?

I haven’t actually read this for like a week and have forgotten my page but so far I have no idea how I feel about it besides IT’S WEIRD

current emotion: somewhere between 😏😏😏😏😏😏 and 😍😍😍😍😍😍

do you ever read a plot twist that changes an entire book so much that you start questioning reality? that’s my current mood

why do I keep reading books that don’t make sense until the ending

I’m betting this book will be slightly heartbreaking and I sort of Already Know How It Will End but so far it’s sweet and I love Amanda she’s my gf

this has been a Slightly Drab first half

I am finishing this tonight. I am finishing this tonight I am finishing this tonight I am finishing this tonight

me last month: oooh I'm going to stick to my TBR and read all my oustanding arcs look how cool I am!! I bet this'll stay around for the rest of the year
me this month: nah

this is actually freaking me out a lot

this is really brutal and not in a good way.

I just teared up on the first chapter?? I’ve decided that I’m in love with this audiobook narrator

siri why did god give me emotions

the egotist in me hates how Goodreads tells me “50 others liked this” like no I want to hear exactly how many people liked this

I don't understand why people defend their opinions by saying "it's my opinion and therefore is fine." if your opinion is relying on false premises or is hateful towards someone, it is up for criticism in the public setting. "it's my opinion" is not a defense.

still sort of mediocre to good, but the action is maybe going to pick up? finally?

this audiobook is so long but so fucking great. I’m excited to finally finish!! buuuuuuut I also still have five hours left. send help.

I’m liking this a lot!! pov switches are too fast, but story is compelling 😊

enjoying this so far but definitely a fairly tame first installment.

well this just crashed and burned

well this is definitely easy to read!! unsure as to how I’m feeling yet 🤨
