so-soOgawa writes beautifully and sometimes even dream-like. But I do prefer her newer books to her older ones. I knew that this one wasn't going to my favorite. As a person with dyscalculia I just let the characters go on about maths and how to solve this and that. I would have loved to learn more about the professor's condition and how he deals with it.

panI made it through! Honestly, I do not see how this novel works after being scrubbed of the fic. The emotional weight of it relies entirely on feelings readers bring to it from HP. Genuinely, nothing here for me. Very curious to see the wider world's reaction to Alchemised but I don't think I'll be reading it. I don't trust that the publisher invested in the editorial work this would have needed to stand on its own (if that edit were possible).
bailedIt‘s a 100 pages in and I feel like this story has made no progress. Alice is still in the hospital and still doesn‘t remember anything. I‘m bored, I‘m over it , I‘m out!

pick#SchoolSpirit Day 3: #Professor - I wouldn‘t call myself a fan of Mathematics, although I do appreciate its logic and precision. This novel, however, brought to light its awe-inspiring quality with its intricate web of patterns that is revealed only to a select few who would take the time to really pay attention to it. There is remarkable restraint here and a childlike delight at the beauty of the universe. My review: https://wp.me/pDlzr-nIW
pickThis started out strong and lagged a bit in the middle then ended a little stronger. I guess the idea was too far fetched for me and I kind of loathe interest. Still a pretty good read though. ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Misty, for the wonderful book and lovely goodies. I opened them today (obviously!). I can't wait to dive into this book; I love Liane Moriarty! I'll drink some King Cole tea, too! @TheLudicReader would be happy about that!
Thanks for your friendship and for #LitsyLove. You are one in a gazillion. Merry Christmas! 💙❄️💙
