5.0

Heartwarming! Cozy! Queer witches! Friendship! Nature! This was everything I wanted it to be. Lovely art, compelling story, beautiful and varied use of the page. I read it in two sittings, but you could easily get through it in one. The nighttime pages were my favorite (bonus points for the extra cover art at the back of the book, some of which I wish I could hang on my wall).

Interesting premise - one I hope to return to another time when I’m in the right mood, probably in print rather than audio

I don’t have the bandwidth for this right now, but when I do, I’m excited to read a physical copy - ebook just wasn’t doing it for me with this one.

Astrophysics for People in a Hurry by Neil deGrasse Tyson

Maybe another time. I happen to have a lot of compelling audiobooks on hold right now, and this one requires more attention than I can give it at the moment. I’m sure it’s fascinating stuff, but Tyson lost me after the introduction - I would have to be much more focused to internalize the information in the way I’d like!

This One Is Mine by Maria Semple

Did not finish book. Stopped at 6%.
Casual & unnecessary racism & anti semitism that seems not to serve the plot at all? Not really compelled by the writing, and seems full of vapid and unlikeable characters. Not worth my time, and likely not worth yours either.
