pickI don't usually stay up late finishing a book, and I definitely didn't expect that to be the case with this one! But for the last two nights in a row, this book has taken over and did the trick!!

Heard so much about this series when The Raven King came out, I'm excited to see what the fuss is all about!
pickGive this book some time and patience and you'll find that it's worth it! The author gets bogged down occasionally by literary history and alchemy, especially in the beginning, which is slightly tedious to a novice. But when the story gets going, it keeps you engaged!

So excited to have gotten this book today! Gotta love my local comic book store 😍 Excuse me while I squirrel away into a corner now...
Today I figured out that I can pre-place-a-hold (library version of pre-order?) on this new Maria Semple book!! Today WAS different! Thanks, @OverDrive 🙌🏼
This book has been an exercise in sticking through--it started slowly and I normally would have just dropped it, but it came so highly recommended that I stuck with it...and I'm so glad I did! Only halfway through but now I can't stop!!
