It was fine

What a fucking spooky sight just seeing/hearing the clap of of a telegraph. I feel like these two have a lot of misadventures

I was truly trying to decide if this was non-fiction before they said the year. What a fascinating concept, I'd definitely read a longer version of this one

Wow this was good, what a way to end the year

I didnt realize Alan alda was such a big science nerd nor that he helped start a science communication center. The concepts in this book weren't groundbreaking, but definitely more actionable than some other communication books I've read.

honestly it was meh

A pretty heartbreaking memoir from an aid worker who happened to be one of the first people in after/during wars in the early '00s.

The ending is definitely polarizing, but sometimes we all need a book with an undefined ending. This was more psychological thriller than I was expecting, but I liked it

This was a fun mystery set in Victorian England. I love the additional “revenge” scenes at the end.

Anything by Kimberly is an automatic 5 stars


(This was also fun and only 35 pages so just read it already)

This was cute!

Basically all the tips and context you'd get from listening to Dan on PSA but in one book.

One complaint about the audio book is that you can definitely tell when he had to rerecord lines. The tone is different and it's a bit jarring.

A cute second chance holiday novella

Honestly this could have been a whole novel

Well structured and easy to understand (unsurprisingly lol)

This was a perfect slow burn


Also the fake football team names made me laugh

Everybody in this book needs therapy

Honestly my biggest complaint is that JSC doesn't really do rovers and we def don't lead the Mars ones

Everyone in this book kinda sucks b/c they're all late twenty-somethings that need therapy.

This third act breakup is devastating if you've ever considered yourself the invisible or backup friend. 10/10 no notes

The plot was good. No third act breakup but the equivalent plot point I saw a mile coming and had to put the book down. The writing overall was a bit cringey

This was definitely more engaging than the first book. And I now understand why all the fan universe theories exist. While I don't think this series will end up falling in my “best series” list, I can see why it does for other people.

NO WONDER XIE LIAN BLOCKED OUT HIS PAST MEMORIES. GOOD FUCKING GOD. And no one deserves a ‘fuck that guy' more than White No Face

Answered some lingering questions plus a dose of more emotional trauma

This was fun!

I foresee a cowabummer arc coming
