This will be the first full book I’ve ever read in French. Wish me de la chance

No tengo marcapáginas así q lo anoto aquí (por muy distópico q sea)

It’s hard for me to completely hate it. The family reunion scene (which I don’t think merits a spoiler alert) is sweet

ew this feels like…fanfic- or wattpad-esque. But also I’m feeling pulled in by the setting so far so I’ll keep going

it shouldn't be taking me so long to finish reading a book that i do actually enjoy. i'm reading like 3.5 different books at once so all 3.5 of them are taking an eternity

it’s giving Skins but queered and in uni

Quite dense & abstract for the time being. The part of me that would have done well as a sociology major is LIVING

still working through my “light summer reading” lmao

Dense but SOOO INTERESTING & mind-blowingggg

the way this is a COFFEE TABLE BOOK that I’m literally reading page by page without skipping a single word

Meh. So male gazey as always but for some reason with Haruki Murakami I always come back for more

this book just feels like one long “tell me you’re neurodivergent without telling me you’re neurodivergent” re: the protagonist

Literally thrilled to get back off the library waitlist for this. I had to stop reading it over a month ago bc it was due back

Obsessed. I feel like I’m walking around in one of my own dreams

sooooo interesting

Absolutely and unexaggeratedly blown away by this artist’s capacity to capture the exact tenor, the exact ambiance, of what it’s like to live in Florida. (I would know; I lived there for most of my life.) What’s extra impressive is that he’s not even from there, let alone from the States or even North America

Thank God this book is funny because if not it would be impossibly depressing to read...if it isn't already

Started reading this three years ago for one of those pandemic zoom book clubs that were popular at the time. I only read the first few chapters, but it blew my mind. Excited to be restarting it now

I'm just not really sure why the author and publisher wanted this to be a trilogy. All three books are basically the same. The only significant change among them is the setting.

I admit I am enjoying this book, but it is remarkable how unlikable the narrator is

morbidly compelling, i'm surprised by how much i'm tearing through it

This was almost going to be a DNF from me--not that the book doesn't touch upon important subjects, but some of the writing feels so amateur/fan-fic-esque it pains me--BUT now it's getting juicy so I guess there's no turning back now
