It's been a week of falling asleep after a paragraph again. Anybody surprised I haven't gotten a clue of what this is yet?

So I thought this is a sequel to Crudrat when I ordered it. Turns out it is just in the same world following a completely different character, and I do like him. The story so far is just fun.

not really the coellection I am listening to, but this is what I will use for here.

I'm not as invested in this as I had hoped to be.

There's a summary of book 1! An underused feature in epic fantasy series.

This narrator is awful and strangely suitable as well. He's hard to listen to but probably represents the personality of the character well. Sadly nothing stays in my mind, but it's free and I just want to have the book read at this point in my life.

Oh dear, why is this such a popular book? Why did friends want me to read this for so long.
I'm utterly bored.

Does carrying around the book every day really count as starting it? So far it is still just an intention of finishing it in April :D

Nothing much happening, just hanging out with the characters and getting to know them. Rather nice for my insomnia reading this week.

This is a book to read in long sittings and finish fast. So sad I didn't manage to finish last weekend, as I haven't had time to really pick it up on workdays.

When you have a lot of books waitinig to be read and pick up your latest acquisition because you want to spend time with the cover. That's me today picking this for my weekend reading.

Feeling like listening to someone share similar experiences with freindships. Fun and sometimes triggering memories I might not have wanted just then. Ah well, still super interesting.

Part 1 had some good points, a lot of coping strategies I already knew and then got on my nerves for prioritizing career women and mothers swerving right into being valuable.
Part 2 made up for that by really getting into patriarchy and its effect on women's health. serious trigger warnings for everything connected to that and eating disorders.
Curious to see where part 3 lands for me.

this started off rather well, then I got a little bored by the constant telling due to first person narration (maybe I haven't read that in a while) and now it looks like there will be a love triangle.
I wanted a fluff fun fast paced story with gods. I hope it doesn't end on a cliffhanger.
6 more hours to go in the audiobook.

Anybody else wonder how this would be if it wasn't first person narration?

I cannot highlight enough how much I like Pratchett's take on witches.

I think I actually don't care for this at all.

This is just what I needed, glad I decided to pick it up on audio instead of waiting for when I get to it in any other format.

Finished part 1 and the last pages were in French - that was a surprise. I really need a break from the narrative. Hoping Part 2 will be more captivating again.

And I hit a lull. Everything feels like a drag and I really don't know where this is going. 150 pages to finish chapter 5 and if it isn't getting better again I'll take a break and read a short quick fun dumb book.

Making much slower progress than I had hoped. The reading brain just keeps falling asleep, without my permission!

Can you even call this progress? I like it I just keep falling asleep when I have time to read. Life really is getting in the way of my reading this month.

This is going to take a while as it turned out to be demanding non-fiction.

Someone save books from me. It reads well, but the characters feel like stock figures and place holders for cliches. I don't know if I'm just in a mood or if this will get better.

I don't love it and am thinking about DNFing - I am so disappointed in myself!

Make it stop. I think I hate Rosamund. Only 4h left!

Having trouble reading and hoped this would just fly by. Sadly struggling with the names and falling asleep after a few paragraphs at night.
Couldn't say anything about the plot or characters yet, as literally have no idea what's it about yet.

I can appreciate what it does and the writing is really good - I'm just not interested. Finishing this will give me such a feeling of accomplishment, so looking forward to that.

So many characters and I don't care about any of it :(
Sadly thought even Moby Dick was more engaging the other day.
