I still live and I'm actually doing a wee bit of reading again! Which is really nice, my mind's just been too busy and tired I guess

Whump heheheh

Tali 🥺 they EMBRACED

And that Tym chapter was riveting. Can't wait for more of those creatures/the conflict between main characters. They're sooooo gonna get Alec >:)

The San case study is so interesting, looking forward to the North American one as well

I'm super invested so far! The prophecy, the secrets that friends can't speak with eachother about, the slowburn, the whump, the magics and slight body horror! Yasss!

(Though I wish the aftermath of the assault (let's be real that was rape) on Alec was more nuanced, not simply everyone thinking that it was willing :( But maybe that's still to come? Kinda doubt that though, he seems pretty unknowing himself)

(so fascinating)

Lovig the slight homoeroticism that's starting to get more attention now

I'm curious and excited to see where this book will take me, hopefully rightfully so

This is exceptionally bad, I'm surprised I haven't made to move to DNF it. Maybe not bad enough? The characterization is absolute garbage. You cannot convince me that when you're starving to literal death that you refuse to eat meat (as a vegetarian) when offered. She's whiny 24/7, and he only asks "what is wrong with you" or "are you crazy"

This book must have some delicious whump coming my way with the way that it's been teasing me so far

I'll throw hands if something happens to dear Rocky

Rocky and Grace trying to understand each other is so cute

I've never really read scifi so I'm dipping my toes with this one. And the amnesia angle? Fuck yea

It's sensationalist but also I'm intrigued. The man just wants to convey how scary it is, maybe not exactly the place in a nonfiction book but hey. I really get why people say it reads like a thriller now

Oops, my brain has taken the detour to diseases and epidemics again... so here we are

That last chapter was such a slog, I get that it has to be done to put everything in perspective but it's just so different from the rest of the book. Plus exactly like Winston said: it's nothing new. For him it's good to read but for us? Eh, I could've done without the essay. BUT NOW the 'fun' starts! You knew it was coming little guy, but maybe not quite so soon. Let the man enjoy his book

Newspeak is so weird, but it also makes so much sense. Like unperson? Exactly what it says, they just never were. Also can't wait for Winston to be caught. It has to be soon.

Oh Winston you filthy man. You want to feel love(d)? How scandalous

'Nothing was your own except the few cubic centimetres inside your skull'

Well well, here I am reading a classic. Felt inclined to pick this up because of philosophy class. I see many similarities already with the panoptica and I'm just 3 pages in
