DNF: I’m having a really hard time following Knights advice because I feel I already know it. Perhaps I’ll pick it up later in the year. Right now it just feels like a chore reading it.

Reading this book for Buzzfeed Page Turners book club for the April theme of memoirs.

I saw Love, Simon yesterday. It was just perfect. I was squealing like a little fan girl. Side not: Nick Robinson is a babe.

When you realized you've bought 14 books in month: NO SHAME! WORTH IT!

Today I went to two used books stores. I was in heaven. I’ve bought six books on this trip. I hope my suitcase isn’t too heavy.

I got this book for a book club. It’s the Pageturners by Buzzfeed. March’s theme is immigration. It was recommend by another member. So far so good.

DNF: I borrowed this book to get ideas to help with a class I was a long-term sub for. I did not finish it because I had to give it back. The few pages I did read were good so I will be picking this book up at some point.

So far I am loving this book. I like the time period. The idea of the circus being dream-like is wonderful. Although I’m not the biggest fan of how the book jumps around in the timeline.

I have had a really hard time getting into this book. I think it was because I watched the movie first so I was expecting something different. I picked up it because I wanted more backstory. I want to pick this up again but perhaps as an audiobook so it doesn’t feel like it is going so slow.

I tried to get into this book but it was really hard for me. A lot of the vocabularay didn't make sense to me since I don't have much of a science background. I feel I would be more successful with this book if I watched deGrasse's TV series on this subject. I am more of a visual learner. I would like to attempt this book again once I learn a bit more about Astrophysics.

So far so good. I have to note this quote. "We are stardust brought to life, then empowered by the universe to figure itself out-and we have only just begun."

So far the book is good but hard to follow. So I am going to restart.
