so-soRecommended by my roommate. She read it in middle school and remembered liking it a lot. I loved the concept of a world where the justice system is a virtual role player game. Plot wasn‘t super well developed but it was a fun read.

1. The Litsy profile for this one consists only of my posts on how much I hated it. I feel kinda bad about that, but the book was terrible.
2. Pack for work, on weekends it depends.
3. Either that time I inadvertently flashed the entire church right before playing a violin solo or the time I nearly caused a large traffic accident while driving a group of visitors to the Voortrekker Monument.
4. Rain, coffee, clean laundry
5. Blue Joy

1. No pictures from today—this is Sunday, from my husband‘s contemplative piano/prayer service. He also plays on Weds. so this will happen later today!
2. Seven.😱
3. No—high today is 80F. I‘m still fighting my husband over using the A/C!
4. No
5. Some of the poorest published writing I‘ve ever read. Stilted dialogue, flat characters, awkward sentences, inconsistent world-building—& more! I only finished because it was for book club.

panI finished this last night, and the ending did not redeem the lousy writing. There were decent ideas, but those were buried under flat characters, stilted dialogue, awkward sentences, inconsistent world-building, and plot twists that went nowhere. It‘s a first novel, but that doesn‘t excuse some of the weakest published writing I‘ve seen. I wouldn‘t have finished it, but: book club. Sigh. It‘s the first in a trilogy which I will not be finishing!
My post-Festival bath is pretty epic, but the book selection sadly is not. I‘m slogging through the last 45 pages of this book club pick tonight and am finding it difficult to get through the poor writing. But I have a bath and wine and dark chocolate espresso Laceys and some juice (which is key because I totally made the bath too hot), so: epic.
Working on a book club read this afternoon. The friend who chose this one for our book group described it as “what Ready Player One should have been.” Conceptually, it‘s kind of as if IOI from Ready Player One had gained control of the Oasis and used it as a way of governing the real world. And there‘s less fanboy-ing and far fewer pop culture references. I‘m finding the story and the ideas interesting, but the writing is pretty sub-par. 😕
I stopped at the library to pick up my book club‘s April selection...and this happened. How does this always happen?! #blameitonlitsy #libraryhaul
