This is due on the 21st, but I’m all but certain to finish it. I don’t know if I’ve reached or passed the place where I initially stopped, but it’s been so long since I’ve read it, I can’t remember. I forgot how expansive the story was, though, and how far Phèdre and co travel across the world. There is one thing I really hope the author addresses, because if she doesn’t, it’s a major miss.

I’m closer to finishing this than the percentage tells. There’s about a hundred pages of notes and appendix.
I’m a novel behind again ugh. I know I’ll finish Kushiel’s Dart before the end of the year, as well as Hero and Faust. I’m reading Vita pretty fast, so I’ll probably bang that out, but I still need to two more books. Eh, I can just pick up two fast reads for year end. I am curious how many pages I’ve read this year because I fee like that should count for something.
Are you set to make your reading goal?

I passed my reading challenge but I set it really low this year. The goal was to read more epics but that hasn’t exactly happened.

Ugh me too. I wanted tor read more door stopper novels but time is not my friend. I’m hoping to finish the 700 page book before its due at the library. I’m pretty sure I’ve used all of my renews lol.

I think it depends on the book tbh. I’ve been able to renew some 3 times with others only once or twice. I think I renewed this one four times haha. It was due on the 21st and I *probably* could finish it by then but better safe than sorry, and I can always just return it whenever I do.

Pages read should totally count! 🙂 I feel like I’ve been at a total stand-still when it comes to reading the past couple months. I finished my reading goal for the year, but in all fairness I set it wayyy lower than normal. Just been too busy. When are we ever gonna get those clones so we can just go ahead and do ALL the things?? 😛
