The Old Testament by Amy-Jill Levine

informative reflective medium-paced

3.5

it was super interesting! I am not a fan of non fiction but the friendly style of the transcripts made it very easy to read, so I enjoyed it! it did take a long time to read (because I don't read a lot of non fiction have k mentioned that?) so I probably won't read it again, but I'm going to keep it for reference to slip into conversations like I'm fancy because - like I said - super interesting!!

Critical Role: The Mighty Nein — The Nine Eyes of Lucien by Madeleine Roux

adventurous emotional sad medium-paced

4.0

I really enjoyed seeing the story from a different perspective, but I think if I read it without watching critical role first I may feel differently, but still in a good way!

I loved seeing how Molly was in Lucien's head it was so perfectly and wonderfully done! I think I would've liked more about Kingsley at the end though, just a little.

feel like I should resign my queer card for not loving this book... but I didn't. it was still cool, and heart wrenching! and maybe it was the fact I was annotating it too, which took a long time, that made me enjoy it less

how sad it was kind of surprised me, and the "plot twist" sort of felt a little out of nowhere, but I enjoyed it all the same
