I'm actually having a really hard time getting back into this book because my brain isn't done obsessing over my last book.
I started reading this book almost a year ago but never got past halfway. I'm starting from the beginning again so I can finish it before seeing the friend who gave it to me. We meet up annually to talk about books, so I wanna have this one fresh in my mind when I see them again.
pickInteresting, but not entirely substantiated scholarship— still, definitely worth the read and fascinating 🧚🍁💀not for the weak-stomached scholar, that‘s for sure
I'm a bit more than halfway through this but it isn't grabbing me. TBH I find it weird when European mythical creatures are transposed onto American soil. The protagonist is 16 years old and that seems to be the target audience. Slow going but not terrible. Megan does tend to jump into situations that have me going 'Stop and think!' but, hey, she's 16 🤗
so-soFinished this one today. It was ok and I didn‘t DNF. But, yeah.

I'm not too far into this, but I found it a bit hard to follow, so I've been annotating it, and taking notes on it. Found a nice Reddit thread and taking my time with the text. It's helped a lot.

🎧Lud in the Mist
Progress:
last week was pretty productive, even if I wasn't feeling my best. Finished my #Victober read, Haunted House, and my palette cleanser; The Little Prince. Looking forward to hopping into Lud in the Mist, I'm quite fascinated by pre-tolkien fantasy novels.
Today‘s book chat selections!
Really great session, they had great questions and comments all the way through (these are the ones I talked about - my colleague had her own stack)
I‘m always a bit worried that no one will turn up but we had 10 today - which seems to be the new standard. Super happy with those numbers.
