50% now and sadly it’s not getting better. This book is mostly lore for a wizard world/school that seems to be actively trying to kill its students (something Pigfarts was also good at but in a passive way, I think). Weirdly there’s not been mention of a single professor at this school, for all I know the kids just study by themselves all day. Anyway this account wasn’t intended for complaining but I’m sorry I’ve now dedicated two weekends to this ho-hummery.

Words can’t describe how much I hate crochet. I’d gladly do a thousand push-ups over a single line…I’m horrible at it. I forget where I am in the pattern, how many stitches I’ve done, what kind of stitch I’m on, what I’m trying to make, why I haven’t stabbed out my own eyes with the hook yet.

Was winding yarn for crocheting while reading this. Rude.

Also just want to say nothing I’ve ever heard compared to that series about a boy who lives has ever lived up to the praise. Not that I even crave another series like that. But it never pans out to anything more than “yeah, we definitely spent our childhood reading the same books” to me.

I love Pod Meets World with all my heart, but so far (the dudes’) book club selections are not it. And yeah, I’m judging at 5%. Hopefully it’ll prove me wrong, but the last one never got better from this point.
