I don't know about this book. It's​ making me feel very negative feelings toward some of the characters, making it not the most pleasant read. And yet, I can't stop listening, eager to know what will happen next. But also some Big Stuff just happened and I really don't know how there can possibly be FOUR MORE HOURS in the audio. I thought for sure it was almost over.

"She laughed and laughed and laughed until the vowels were rolling across the walls and floors, as if they meant to do away with the laws of time and space."

"Reading good books ruins us for enjoying bad books."

Ooof, this blurb just about knocked me over. And to think I almost gave up on this book because I started with the audio and the reader was an insufferable mansplainer. I'm so glad I switched to the text--I'm fully invested in finding out where this all goes now.

This book was perfection. I finished yesterday, and I miss it already. I couldn't bring myself to start another book right away today. I'm not ready to move on from this one quite yet. The audio production was superb. Next time I read it--and there will definitely be a next time--i think I'll buy the actual paper book and savor every page.

I think my eyes literally turned into hearts when I read this part.

Say what you will about Hester, girlfriend knows a mansplainer when she meets one. (Had to transcribe the quote as soon as I heard it in the audiobook.)

It's been awhile since an audiobook has made me actively wish for red lights on my drive so I'll get to listen for a few more minutes. This is one of those books.

Not the greatest distraction from the current political climate, but it did make me think maybe we could use a cyborg and her band of rag tag friends in this country.

I started this book on my commute home tonight and I can already tell it's going to be a lovely read. The book shop sounds heavenly!

These Outlander books, man. I loved the first one, nearly threw the second across the room when I finished it, slogged through the third. And yet, I keep coming back, every couple of years, for more Jaime and Claire. The fourth has been better than the third but still feels about 3 times longer than it needs to be.

Quick YA reads are helping me clear my head so I can sleep at night.
