September 10, 2022. -September 13, 2022 And that’s it. It’s done. I’ve been burning through these as fast as I could, reading for me because I decided books ago that these aren’t appropriate for a 10 year old- which was re-emphasize in this book by her talk with her dad where he doesn’t say “you’re …

September 8, 2022 – September 10, 2022  Ok remember how I’m complaining about how little relationship stuff there is? Well she dumped it out now and I sort of feel ok? Like she handled the whole “I haven’t thought of this before” kind of ok. It still caught me off guard and I can’t forget …

September 5, 2022 – September 7, 2022 I need to go to bed. Update tomorrow. Update: ok! Book! What did I think? Once again really great world-building with a unique idea, but this book was extra good somehow. Maybe because the stakes were higher or the dynamics of a larger cast. Whatever it was it …

August 31, 2022 – September 5, 2022 Getting through this book felt like homework. I’m still reeling over the gross misstep in sensitivity from the last book, but I’m invested. I think I’ve pin pointed what’s bothering me so much about Kit and Nita’s relationship- it’s stagnated. I know I’ve complained about the jarringness of …

August 30, 2022 – August 31, 2022 When I saw where this was going all I thought was “oh gosh I hope she treads lightly.” And during it I was like “I don’t know very much about autism but so far she sounds like she’s doing a good job.” And then at the end when …

August 29, 2022 – August 30, 2022 Oh my GOSH was that heavy!!! And probably extremely triggering for someone who has had someone have cancer. I’ve only been very sick and in and out of the hospital and I was feeling slightly queasy during it.The ending was not what I was expecting. I honestly thought …

August 27, 2022 – August 29, 2022 Ok first the note for whether this series is good for my ten-year-old son: no. There is a scene where they are talking about whether or not she has had sex with Kit with one of them making a gesture showing sex and she says yes she is. …

August 26, 2022 – August 26, 2022 I didn’t like this one as much because it spent so much time on the sister when I want to read more about Kit and Nita. That being said it was still a good book. She spends a lot of time on descriptions and random stuff (ok it …

August 25, 2022 – August 26, 2022 When I finished the last book all I could think was “well they just took on Satan, how are they going to top that?” And though it wasn’t as big it was still pretty good. It seemed kind of confusing – in the last book it ends with …

August 23, 2022 – August 24, 2022 I’m so tired. I’ll ramble tomorrow. Update: SO! My ten-year-old son reads stupid fast. Like a Percy Jackson book a day fast, so I’m feeling pretty desperate to find books for him to read and decided on middle grade, figuring that they would be longer than kiddie stuff …
