be friends with me on Storygraph as I leave amazon-owned Goodreads: @ofuchi

amazing bit on performative activism and white people only loving Black people when they're near the end of life/dead whilst having no respect for the living.

Is anyone on StoryGraph? I'd like to migrate there and leave goodreads now that it's owned by Amazon. I don't know how whole i'd be able to commit, but I want to try.

dang i can't wait to finish this book😭it's good, i'm finding it informative, but the things that pertain to me really could've been a bulleted list i fear.

this is good. a bit too on the nose like why is she in my walls? but good still. I wish i could slow down and really deep it but i'm so wrapped up in understanding than digesting.

this dude is beyond brilliant!!!!

really bad at keeping track but i've sobbed to so many essays just this morning alone. What do you do when the person you bury calls for you in the middle of a concert? or rather, when you will the person you're no longer in contact with to be there, just to remember the imagination is no substitute for the living? i'm on a Writing break because Mr. Hanif has said everything there is 2 be said at least from me 4 now.

i feel like 70% of this is fluff and the plot if driven by atrocities so i'm not sure there's much to gain from this..

reading this back to back with the book one WILL cause brain damage

reading hasn't been fun in a while and I guess it's because I haven't been able to breathe. Between job hunting, trying to keep my body from falling apart, forced starvation and genocide,, it's hard to find time to do anything.

Hopefully I get to stop and do nothing come mid-November. Maybe then I'll get to return back to my books.

this has been such a pleasant read. It's easy, requires little thought to follow along, and was my first introduction to Murakami and might be my last for a while (unless my sister throws her Norwegian wood at me). It made for the perfect bedtime story. It's funny i started running again too! I've logged a little under 5.5 miles in october so far.

wishing i had hanif's musical range to really understand the reviews

my. fucking. GOD. I love Hanif. But fuck. I never knew I needed this TERRIBLY. It's so beautiful, I might write an essay on his essay!! Or review a song myself, fuck!

"Writers. They think everything is about them"
L O L!

devouring this book like it's the last in this world.

this feels like a book you read while drinking wine. I feel grown and sexy, like i'm 30 reading about the life of some 20something and not that 20 something trying desperately to figure shit out (and failing just as desperately)

messy lesbians.

yeaaaahh i need to reread this once im not cramming for bookclub. Alternatively, maybe I need to own and mark it up.

THREE PAGES LEFT PLEASE LAWD FIX IT!

I am so scared for this to end. There aren't enough pages to fix things.

good fuck. I need to own this.

fuckkk. i need to go back to my spanish grind!

okaaayyy my spanish and Portuguese books coming right up!!

interesting...so rose never gets past slut shaming?

só bad at tracking this
