I started this on Thursday night/early Friday morning just enough to get the blurbs for the Book Beginnings/Friday 56 post.
Once I truly got into it, I had a hard time putting it down for long.
Yes, I read past my bedtime ... and woke up early to continue.
I grabbed this from my library shortly after seeing the trailer for the upcoming series on HBOMax. I am now worried that, much like Lovecraft Country, the series will be a huge disappointment and they won't come close to capturing the magic of the book.
Would it have felt the same and read the same if I had read it when first released in 2014 -- pre-coronavirus?
I honestly have no idea. I'm assuming probably not. I think it's probably more relatable now than it would have been, but it still would have been magical.
Those who read it pre-coronavirus, did they think back to the book wondering if it was where were heading?
I'm full of questions, but there is absolutely no question that this is an amazing book and well-worth a few more hours of lost sleep.
If you want to share whatever has kept you up past your bedtime because you just needed one more chapter ... or the entire book ... please comment! My TBR pile is already toppling, but I can always add more.
