as a kid, i thought libraries were so magical that i put little library card pockets on the back of all my books should my friends want to borrow them
rating system: ★☆☆☆☆ it is through sheer spite and latent sadism that i finished this book ★★☆☆☆ this had its merits, but it was a slog to get to the good bits ★★★☆☆ perfectly worth the time it took me to queue this at the library ★★★★☆ this book is amazing and everyone i've ever loved needs to pick it up right now ★★★★★ my atoms have been rearranged after this experience
