    Another wild end to another amazing book Dinniman is creating such a robust world, but even more importantly the man managed to make me emotional over a cat 😂😂 Can't wait to start the next one!

    Frustration from 14%

    I don't know why, but it's been a lot harder for me to get into this one? I keep glazing over, it feels like there's a lot of logistics being explained even though the note at the beginning says not to worry about it, and something about the narrative isn't as gripping as before. :(

    SURELY not another 800+ pages??

    In my wildest imagination I didn't consider that this prequel could be LONGER than the priory of the orange tree. Holy moly, Batman!

    lots of fun with some surprisingly dark moments. I paused my next planned read because I'm so hooked on this series.

  • What are your comfort books?

    In my mind, comfort books (or series) are more than just a favorite you revisit occasionally. They’re books you might reread every year, or that you turn to when you need something familiar and welcoming. They might be connected to a specific memory or time in your life, or gifted to you by someone special. Or the story just resonates with you in a way that brings you comfort. Here are mine: -The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane by Kate DiCamillo -The Infernal Devices series by Cassandra Clare -Sorcery of Thorns by Margaret Rogerson -A Far Wilder Magic by Allison Saft

  • The Priory of the Orange Tree (The Roots of Chaos, #1)
    Thoughts from 30%

    I’m about 30% into The Priory of the Orange Tree and while I can absolutely see the depth of the world Samantha Shannon is building, I’m finding myself a bit lost with all the different POVs and names and places and plot. There’s clearly a rich history and political structure at play, but keeping track of it all, especially through the audiobook, has been a challenge. I’m wondering if this might be a book that’s better experienced in physical, where I can flip back and reorient myself when needed. Still, I’m intrigued enough to keep going and hopeful that things will start to come together soon! Should I be understanding what's happening by now?? 🥺😩

    This was very helpful in expanding my view of how to care for not just my home but myself, body and mind, on those bad days (or months). This book was divided into such short achievable chapters that I found myself reading the entire book in one very short afternoon. Many of these ideas were so achievable that I will be attempting to implement into my life immediately.
