so-soUnderstandable for a book about a revolutionary abolitionist who was both cast out and voluntarily withdrew from society, but there is a lot of filler in here. The parts about Lay were interesting; the deep dives into his friends, the lives of his influences, and the page long dissections of a few sentences were less so. I skimmed a lot in the second half, but his is a good story and one worth knowing.

1. Tagged. I have had this book on my TBR for years. What a title!
2. No. I have thought about pre-ordering The Dead Cat Tail Assassins, but it is coming out around my birthday, so I will wait and see if it gets gifted. I'm considering pre-ordering 49 Miles Alone, but the library is so much cheaper :-)
And a double-banger straight off the mark, in the book I was already reading.
It's the first one I've double-dipped - but I've decided that for me, if it's in the same sentence/paragraph I can snaffle it.

so-soThis was pretty meh for me. I‘ve always heard so much about this one-that it is a formative version of the genre but it didn‘t hold up well for me and was sooooo long. I almost bailed a few times and didn‘t find the characters at all. #BookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks
