Listen I‘m a full IB Diploma student which means I have time to read about one book every two years, and also that I purchase three books every week

Digging back into Cyrano for class, which makes for a delightful hour of listening to people hilariously mispronounce French names.

I‘m pretty new to this nice little community of folks, and I haven‘t posted a whole lot, but something pretty big happened for me tonight! I‘m now officially enrolled at ASU for Fall 2018 classes. Now I just need to wait for the Honors College admission decisions, survive testing in May, and then it‘s smooth sailing to graduation.
Hopefully I‘ll have more time to deal with my TBR pile when I‘m finally done!

Not even a third of the way through the book, but I‘m absolutely taken with it. I don‘t think I‘ve been so thoroughly dragged into a kids‘ book since my last reread of Percy Jackson 🌟❤️👍🏻

‘“That‘s the duty of the old,” said the Librarian, “to be anxious on behalf of the young. And the duty of the young is to scorn the anxiety of they old.”
They sat for a while longer, and then parted ways, for it was late, and they were old and anxious.‘

I never read His Dark Materials as a kid, and I always felt as though I missed out on something. No time like the present, I guess.

Mehso-so

Don‘t get me wrong, I enjoyed it, but it wasn‘t great. Weir doesn‘t have a strong, non-Watney voice, so all of the characters were very same-ey, slight variations on a snarky genius. Also, without the excuse of Watney‘s diaries to translate the science into stupid, it became difficult to follow and a little boring.
The plot was engaging, but I didn‘t love it.
