Hab parallel zur Vorlesung das meiste gelesen, aber nach der Klausur nicht fertig gelesen.

I know I liked it fifteen-ish years ago, when I was a teenager, but I just couldn't get into it as an adult 

Read everything relevant for the exam

Wollte parallel zur Vorlesung das Lehrbuch lesen, hat zeitlich nicht geklappt, und ein ach so les' ich's wohl dann doch nicht fertig 

I felt prepared enough to fully start BLW, and some things you learn by doing and not from a book

very repetitive (Paisley always remembering finding the body and calling her a 'poor girl's), and found the main character s behavior quite annoying, actually I only liked the parts about wool and knitting.
Final straw was Paisley pouring coffee over that yarn company guy. That's a  least intentional damage to property, if not personal injury (if the coffee was very hot), and that was too much of this annoying behavior. For somebody behaving like they are on the moral high ground, this was the wrong thing to do to be credible or authentic.
