I can't anymore. The rage , hopelessness and uncertainty of what tomorrow may bring in a country I don't recognize and a timeline I despise. We've become a police state and the gestapo can execute you in the streets, while the propaganda machine powers on.
Again, if you support, defend, enjoy or celebrate anything in this administration or what it does ...you're evil.
pickI don‘t have a lot to say about this one. There was so much I didn‘t remember, and Gally being alive was one of those things I forgot. I‘m glad he turned out to be good though. I‘m really upset about Newt though. I wanted better for him. Poor Thomas having to see come of his closest friend die right in front of him 😭 I‘m glad they did get a happy ending in a paradise area, otherwise it would be a horrible ending.
pickI loved it 😄 it was also so sad 😭 growing attached to them, forgetting how the book ends, “My name was DeeDee before…” 🫢 I was heartbroken by the end, but loved every minute of this one.
pickI‘m finally finished with all my rereads of the Maze Runner series! The whole time I was reading this prequel, I was constantly hoping for a different ending, knowing full well that I couldn‘t get one because of how the first book starts.
I‘m also still definitely not a fan of Teresa. Her loyalty certainly has no bounds. I do feel sad about her death though, Thomas truly cared for her and I could feel that. WICKED is definitely not good.

I'm currently reading: Antarctica by Claire Keegan, a collection of shorts, a new author for me, and I'm enjoying it so far.
Finished Reading: The Visit by by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, I didn't enjoy this as much as Zikora, another short story by Adichie. ⬇️

Soft pick. I have loved many of Ian McEwan‘s novels, even some of the less popular, but I did not love this. His ideas about the explosion of information, the dangers of AI being regulated and exploited by private interests, and the difficulties of finding truth amongst so much fake news and information dumping are very interesting. As are his environmental concerns. But I did not really engage with the characters or story
pickNot my typical read! I LOVED the animal perspective and the authors ability to capture their naive consciousness. S.T. made me laugh out loud multiple times. I genuinely enjoyed the character‘s whit and devotion to his family! Book would be a five star for me, but I thought the fundamental reason for the creation of “Hollows” really missed the mark. 4 out of 5!
