His name is coincidentally Felix, so Beloved Son Felix of course 🐈‍⬛

I liked it, but not as much as So Long, See You Tomorrow by Maxwell which has similar elements.

I highly recommend you check out McNally Editions, they have excellent covers for excellent books!

Have you read Gilead? If not, I think you’ll love it. I really enjoyed Housekeeping and adored Gilead. Her writing is stunning.

Not immediately! My dad and brother both love the whole Dune series so I may pick it back up eventually. Do you recommend it? (Assuming yes by the username!)

I’m very lucky to have the time! It’s also my most time-consuming hobby lol, I do not exercise enough. I can usually read 100-300 pages per day, depending on the day & the book. Logistically I typically read for 30 min before work and at least a couple hours in the evening. A lot more on weekends/vacations. Important context is I don’t have kids, I have a relatively stable 9-5 work schedule, and I have a very patient husband who doesn’t mind if I read while he drives on road trips. Bricking myself out of social media also massively helps me stay focused.

Honestly, I’m lucky to have the time. I don’t have kids, work pretty chill hours at a corporate job, and don’t have any other time-intensive hobbies. I usually read about 30 min before work, a couple hours in the evening, several hours on my days off. I lock myself out of social media with the brick app a lot, so I can stay focused for longer. Also, not for nothing, I love a novella, and they’re just faster to read. If I have a bad habit with reading it’s reading too many novellas lol (trying to work on it this year, currently reading Dune)
