Reader’s Note
9 out of 10
no quotation marks and I somehow didn't notice at first. so far it is just two people completely unable to say one true thing to each other and I want to shake them, gently, one at a time

Everyone told me I'd love this and I didn't, quite. Is it me? Probably it's me. The stretches where they're apart work better than the ones where they're together, which I suspect isn't the intended effect. My book group has taken it personally.6 out of 10@quietcarriage

Read the whole thing in a laundrette and then again on the bus home. No queue at all, which felt wrong for how much everyone talks about it.8 out of 10@libbyoverdrive

Circe reviewed by @three_chapters_in
only about a third in but oh, this is doing something to me. the pigs. I keep putting it down to think and then picking it straight back up again, which is really not how I usually am9 out of 10Circe
Reasons to Stay Alive reviewed by @three_chapters_in
read half of it in one go in the bath, which is maybe not the ideal setting for it. it's kind, is the thing. I've already lent it to my flatmate without finishing, which probably tells you everything.8 out of 10Reasons to Stay Alive
Mistborn reviewed by @three_chapters_in
genuinely might finish this one? I'm nearly at the end, which for me is unheard of. Vin is great. and the magic system makes actual sense, which I did not expect from a book with this many made-up words in it9 out of 10Mistborn
