I literally flipped back to page 1 and read it again! And I hated Olive Kitteredge so much that after about 75 pages I took that puppy back to the library and said "Good riddance!" UGH.

Needless to say, I barely made it through the first and never cracked the second. I’ll check out The Starless Sea, based on your recommendation; I think I liked The Night Circus, but it didn’t make a huge impression.

Did your Athleta set include all of the colors? I didn't receive a camo mask but got a second black mask instead.Denisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00326434710246054510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1145183089731808312.post-72472311273684573732020-08-24T12:32:47.363-07:002020-08-24T12:32:47.363-07:00I just got the Athleta Made to Move masks and I HA...I just got the Athleta Made to Move masks and I HATE THEM SO MUCH. By far my least favorite mask I've tried yet. The nose wire is very hard to shape, so they don't fit my face well. The fabric on the inside bunches in weird and uncomfortable ways. I also get the worst glasses fogging with them. Save your money! I seriously cannot emphasize how awful they are enough.

I finished it because I kept thinking it would get better, but (spoiler alert) it does not. Ugh! High five for putting it aside.
