29, F. ♥️ I'm a romantasy reader at heart; I try to be fair with my reviews, but I know I can come off as a little harsh. We may not all agree on this or that, but such is life. Happy reading! 🫡

  • Reading Slumps

    Anyone else gets into a reading slump because they have so many books they want to read and can't make a choice? I feel like most of my slumps started from me struggling to pick my next read and just not managing to do it for months because I want to read so many but I'm not sure where I want to start.

    There's been a whole lot of nothing that's happened so far, and I suddenly remember why this is my 4th attempt to read it. It's very slow in the beginning, but the information/world building is concise and fairly straight to the point, so it doesn't feel like it's a total slog. I do like Cassia, though. Specifically, I like how she's written. In a world where everyone is uniform and alike in what they do, eat, drink, and think, she doesn't become the kind of character to immediately express individuality. It gives us a good idea of how people in The Society should act and think without the main character going "But, secretly, I don't agree with [insert whatever]." It isn't until her grandfather says something that she acknowledges that she did allow herself to wonder.

  • What's your recent DNF?

    Mine is We Solve Murders by Richard Osman. The number of times ChatGPT was mentioned felt so unnecessary. I think I barely reached 25% of the book before I gave up.
