“The answer to the mystery of existence is the love you shared sometimes so imperfectly, and when the loss wakes you to the deeper beauty of it, to the sanctity of it, you can't get off your knees for a long time, you're driven to your knees not by the weight of the loss but by gratitude for what preceded the loss...
so-soI'm so annoyed with myself for abandoning this series for so long as I was enjoying it and its been tough to get back into the swing of things.

so-soI‘m honestly so sick of listening about Stormy. We get it, she died. We get it, she was your first love. Their whole relationship was so creepy and obsessive and weird that it makes no sense. Also, there really needs to be more sticker options and one of them needs to be a “meh” sticker.
Need a little break from high fantasy for a bit and to catch my breath from the amazing ride that was #CodexAlera and my Tavi and my Max and all my other children.
It's a rainy day here in the Pacific Northwest, I have nowhere else to be, & it's #worldbookday ❤️. So I'll be spending some time with all these beauties.
What are you reading today?
so-soNot the best of the Odds. Koontz tried too hard to be funny. But I love them both and will no doubt be reading the rest of the series. I believe the passage above is Koontz being Koontz. The man certainly has a way with words...
Time for comfort - coffee and an old favorite. So far I like this one better than Odd #3. None better than the first so far. Koontz is hit and miss, but Odd Thomas is one of my favorite characters by any author.
so-soOverall another meh. I think that Odd's story should have been wrapped up by this point. I feel Koontz is dragging it out just to sell more books as this one lacks the wit and joy I craved from Odd's narrative. It's not a complete bust, but I feel that the continual denial of resolution is losing me
