And thank you! It was definitely... an experience. It's not one that I wouldn't <i>not</i> recommend to people, but I wouldn't recommend it either, if that makes sense. I don't think anyone is missing out on not reading it, haha.Jordan @ForeverLostinLiteraturehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15231807884697678173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2178061027984498724.post-37014597030429001572018-05-17T15:21:09.247-07:002018-05-17T15:21:09.247-07:00I'm really thinking about re-reading Queen of ...I'm really thinking about re-reading Queen of the Tearling sometime, it's one of those that still calls to me to give it a second chance. Totally agree--I definitely think of myself as a fan and I love the concept of the books, it's just hard to get into. But there's some good ones!Jordan @ForeverLostinLiteraturehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15231807884697678173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2178061027984498724.post-80856676926495338472018-05-17T15:20:04.002-07:002018-05-17T15:20:04.002-07:00Yeah, the movie was pretty good!

I think I've mixed up most of the Narnia books so I definitely didn't think about that, haha.

And big congrats on getting through Infinite Jest!

And same here with Narnia. I mean I consider myself a fan, but TBH The Lio, The Witch and the Wardrobe and Dawn Treader are probably my faves too. Some of the others... meh.

I was also kind of ambivalent about Perks, I loved the movie, but the format of the book didn't work for me. I also wasn't keen on Curious Incident and I couldn't get into any Narnia books but The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe.<br />My TTT: https://jjbookblog.wordpress.com/2018/05/15/top-ten-tuesday-159/iloveheartlandXhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10040647634981408350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2178061027984498724.post-40186848681162062042018-05-15T07:52:39.218-07:002018-05-15T07:52:39.218-07:00Yeah, not all the Narnia books are great, although...Yeah, not all the Narnia books are great, although I do like The Magician's nephew because it sets up so much for the rest of the series, I like seeing how everything connects.Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16746631124966726182noreply@blogger.com
