  • Novellas in Yearly Reading Goal

    Do you guys ever feel bad about reading a novella and seeing your yearly reading count go up? I started thinking about it when I read some of the Amazon Prime Original novellas for Valentine’s this year. I’m at my best reading year to date thanks to connecting to audiobooks for the first time and these novellas, but sometimes I feel like it’s not valid. Like I should count all of the novellas as 1 book to compensate for the fact that a 500-pg novel is also being counted the same. I’ve felt the same about graphic novels and manga in the past—it’s not like I’m not reading, they’re just shorter form content, but I still wondered if anyone had similar feelings.

    I’m really liking Rowan. This is probably my favorite book in the series so far.

    I waited forever for this to be available on Libby. Now I have to wait for the next installment. Well worth the wait.

    I wish we’d gotten more of Sam. I felt like we had a lot of opportunity to bond with him but at the same time it was hard to discern if their relationship was genuine or if Celaena was holding on to the first boy who’d showed her affection that she viewed as an equal. Does that make any sense?

    I felt like this was just a tad too short for me to get invested in Holly and John.
