pickAnother bonkers adventure with Carl, Princess Donut and friends. This one took inspiration from Magic the Gathering and Pokemon. The game play doesn‘t always make sense, but the characters and true stakes for all involved continues to make this a new favorite series! 4.5⭐️

panIdk how to describe this one.
It's an odd premise of a cook running a food truck in the middle of nowhere, meets a naked girl in a sleeping bag in the middle of the road, who turns out is wanted by an armed militia. It's too early for an actual storyline in this volume but I'm sure something is going to happen just based on how this volume ended.
I don't think I'm going to continue the rest of this series since I'm not in like with it.
pickI‘m glad I listened to this because Chelsea read it and I don‘t think I would have enjoyed it quite as much as a physical book. Def recommend the audiobook. It‘s also so dated omg.
pickThis comedy, first performed in 1664, is a pleasure to read, especially Dorine's parts.
This play is very topical: a man, Tartuffe, an hypocritical devotee, manages to entirely manipulate another man, Orgon. Manipulation, credulity, blindness are common themes.
Highly recommend!
panTerrible. Going into this, I was already aware that Holmes grew up in a religious cult. But when he addressed his newfound atheism early in the book, I figured that the rest of it would be focused on the topics of sex and comedy. Boy, was I wrong. Ninety-five percent of this book is about religion, four percent is about comedy, and one percent is about sex. I would've been happy if religion had only made up 1% to 5% of it.

pickReread:
I‘ve always loved this book. It‘s ridiculous. Think: Monty Python wrote a sci-fi novel. {chefs kiss}
Morning read! Le Tartuffe by Molière. My French book club meets tomorrow, and as the organizer, of course I need to take notes ;)
First time reading this play, but I've seen it played (ages ago).
pick⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This series continues to get better and better! I really enjoyed the humor in this book and I found myself laughing out loud several times.
pickThis was a fun volume highlighting Yor, as she takes on a bodyguard role from the last volume.
It was great to see Yor in action, as it's been a while so I enjoyed that but that didn't happen till later in the volume as more than half of this felt like filler as it gave details of the backstory, a bit of Twilight and Anya, and even Yor's boss got a highlight, which wow because dude still has it.
pickNew lesson learned: when you have only about 5-10 minutes left to read in a book, then don't try to go to sleep without finishing it... My brain kept buzzing for AGES.
Volume 2 is a lot of fun, and I read it so fast. I really should order volume 4, since I'm sure I'll devour volume 3 as well...
