Although we know the end of the maze holds death (and it is something I have not always known--- not long ago the adolescent in me thought death could happen only to other ), I see now that the path I choose through the maze makes me what I am. I am not only a thing, but also a way of being--- one of many ways---and knowing the paths I have followed and the ones left to take will help me understand what I am becoming."

"But then, I can't blame him because he doesn't realize that finding out who I really am--- the meaning of my total existence involves knowing the possibilities of my future as well as my past, where I'm going as well as where I've been

Finally going to start this. It's been on my want to reads list for quite a few years and I finally got a copy. I'm not sure I'm ready to get my heart broken 💔 but I know it's going to happen. I guess I better get the tissues handy. 🤧 😭

Mehso-so

Love Backman but this wasn't a hit for me. A little too fantastical, way too many Harry Potter references [I've never read them, don't come at me] and I guess it just wasn't really my kind of story. I've read and enjoyed most of his books and this one was just so-so. 2.5 stars

Starting my Goodreads giveaway book today. I have really wanted to read this... wish I had won a physical copy, but beggars aren't choosers, especially now that it's so hard to win anything.
Also, happy bday, America 🇺🇸

I just finished The Power by Naomi Alderman and now going to start this book by Bradbury. His works have been on my want to reads list for a while, as I've only read Fahrenheit 451.

Nature, Knight clarified, is brutal. The weak do not survive, and neither do the strong. Life is a constant, merciless fight that everyone loses.

Starting my second kindle book today. This has been on my want to reads list for a while. I see it's also pretty short, just a bit over 200 pages... so it shouldn't take me long to finish.

Woke up to see an email from Goodreads that I won a giveaway. I wish it was a physical book and not kindle, but that's ok. I'll take what I can get. I've really wanted to read this so I'm happy it's at least a book I'm really excited about. I don't enter them as often anymore since they changed the format... just seems like too much work

I was going to check this out from my library because I had it tagged in Libby as a potential read but when I saw it was almost 900 pages, I went with the kindle version instead to save my hands
I'm no stranger to big books and I love them, but my arthritic hands do not any more.. so kindle version won out this time.

This book made me mad, even though as someone interested in physics, I already knew of A Einstein's poor reputation as a husband.

I won this in a Goodreads giveaway and it's a great book. Easy to digest facts broken up by categories, and a very entertaining quick read.

Decided to finish up the Miss Peregrine's series. I read the 5th book summer of last year so hopefully I remember things, as it's been a minute.

I'm not sure why I was so on the fence about trying this book. I'm clocking over 100 pages a day, don't want to put it down. This might be my first 5 star book for the year 😊🥳

A 300 page book usually doesn't take me so long to finish. I either don't like suspense books, or at least not by this author.

Other Birds: A Novel | Sarah Addison Allen

Continuing my bookish weekend with my library books 📚 🤓❤

review

Pickpick

Upsides to this book were that it featured a MC who has a disability, which goes against status quo, and that it's the first historical fiction book I've been able to read in a long time. There's the Circus Train, there are Nazis, there are secrets long kept and stories of not just survival, but determination and even a love story. This was a really enjoyable book for me.

I stopped by my library because the book I'm reading is boring.

This was a bit too quirky and nonsensical for me to really get into or enjoy. I only finished it because I was so far through it.

Never knew a series about hockey, of all things, could steal and break my heart like this series did. A lot of heavy, complicated emotions by the end of this one. Not ashamed that I cried reading about Benji, especially. 💔

I've been reading The 100 Year Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared by Jonas Jonasson [not pictured] but it's a bit strange so I'm proceeding slowly. I ordered Before The Big Bang The Prehistory of Our Universe by Brian Clegg from my interloan system at my library, and just got notice that my Libby hold of The Winners by Fredrik Backman is in. It will be a lit-erary weekend for me 🤓📚

I forgot I ordered this thru my library system. I'm glad they're open late and I was able to remember to pick it up. Time to find out if I like reading about space as much as I enjoy watching videos about it.

Fairy Tale | Stephen King

I'm just about at the halfway mark in this. It's getting strange but so far I'm still following and it's not too fantasy-like for me. So far, I'm still enjoying it quite a bit and am interested to see where it's leading. I'm crossing my fingers 🤞 that I can finish it up this weekend. This is my first buddy read book.

The Wise Woman: A Novel | Philippa Gregory
post image

I'm not sure if it's the book or just me.... I feel like I've been reading this for forever. I've not read her before, but I know she's prolific and it sounded right up my alley. But something just isn't gelling and I've heard others say this isn't her best book. I'm about halfway through and it's just ok so far. 😐
