Omg another snowstorm. The kids haven’t had a full week of school since early December. I love my kids but my god, I need some structure 😭😭😭❄️

I began looking for a fun bookish fantasy, and ended it satisfied but also wondering why there needed to be so much death and gore. It almost leans into horror at some points, with truly evil big bads. Sensitive readers, just know this isn’t a fluffy book about magic books. 3.75 stars #booksky

I finally read Pride and Prejudice, my first Jane Austen novel. The bookish world seems to so often reference her; I always felt like I was missing something! I feel kind of proud of myself for managing (to understand) a classic in these distracted times. Which Austen to tackle next? #booksky

Holy moly. 5 dazed stars. We’re with Ben, he’s on a path. He can’t leave the path or he’ll die; but if he stays on the path he’ll never die. Not horror, not fantasy, it’s something else. I loved it. #thehike #booksky

I was iffy on this one. The first half is bleak and as someone who has struggled with depression, really affecting. Not in a good way. While I enjoyed the second half, the bubbly lightness and tidy wrap-up required quite a bit of magical thinking. Witty, insightful. Trigger warnings! #booksky

Please, please don’t give up guys. Everything that’s happening right now is designed to overwhelm, create anxiety, and confuse all of us. Don’t give in ❤️

I don’t know what to say that hasn’t already been said about this book. I almost feel unworthy of adding to the much-deserved glowing discourse. It was so thoughtful, harrowing at times, and yet also remarkably tender. It was an utterly unputdownable story. 5 stars. #booksky

If you're feeling overwhelmed, it's intentional. They're calling it "flooding the zone." The intent is to overwhelm and exhaust us so we can not effectively resist. Something simple you can do right now now is to make sure to take breaks and rest.

Ok, did I love this book or did I love Tom Hanks reading it to me? Hmm. I liked the story, though it ran out of steam about 75% through. We spent a lot of time loitering in cars outside of the house well after it was relevant to the characters lives! Solid 4 stars, especially on audio. #booksky
