The best way I can describe this read for me is nostalgic.
My personal love story started in the 8th grade, when I was fourteen and he was thirteen. That nerdy boy is now my husband, and we’ve been together 15 years now.
This book is told in two timelines, and the “then” timeline that told the story of Elliot and Macy meeting at about the same age and falling in love was so familiar to me, and brought back so many memories. I had so much affection for these flashbacks.
Perhaps that’s what really made me love this book. I do have my critiques, one that it’s a bit long and two that the end is a bit soapy, but overall I really enjoyed it. This story has many truly heartwarming moments, but it also explores some genuine pain and heartbreak.

Finished #OnyxStorm and my reaction was 😬
Anyone else a little dissatisfied and disappointed? I largely have issues with the writing and character development of some(all) secondary characters are just NPCs in my mind at this point.

#Book 7: Moon of the Crusted Snow by Waubgeshig Rice
As I wrote in my reading journal: "Just WOW. This story may be set in a dystopian world, but it's the story of 500 years of endings for First Nation/Indigenous peoples in North America."

G.H. Hardy talks about the 'real mathematics,' which is often misunderstood under the facade of symbolic abstracts. It is to be considered perhaps as a pattern of ideas—those that are not repetitive but original, like an art. Perhaps it is an art when practiced in an aesthetic way. The inspiration is fueled by one's curiosity and commitment, which is necessary for making sense out of the jitter of number patterns.
Hardy also discusses the impact of the subject and calls it harmless, yet contradicts his thoughts afterward.
