Brooke is starting Mr Norris Changes Trains
around two weeks ago i saw cabaret on broadway and it reignited my love for the musical. naturally, i have spent the last two weeks watching different adaptions of it, including the movie, and it is now finally time that i read the texts that helped inspire it.

Brooke is starting The Brothers Karamazov
starting my journey with this novel today: decided to try out the method of reading a single chapter a day until i finish it. this may take me months, but its better than where i'm out now, and will also allow me to take in his details more thoroughly

FINALLY got my hands on a copy of 'The Emperor of Gladness' (aka Ocean Vuong's new book). Need the final few weeks of the school year to end so I can put all of my energy into reading this, thanks.

“She did not tell them to clean up their lives or to go and sin no more. She did not tell them they were the blessed of the earth, its inheriting meek or its glorybound pure. She told them that the only grace they could have was the grace they could imagine. That if they could not see it, they would not have it.”

this is such a fun book to read for a book club as someone who has been to new york city countless times surrounded by people who've never stepped foot on the east coast. every meeting consists on me explaining the distances between parts of manhattan

Hamlet

Brooke is starting My Year of Rest and Relaxation
new quarter means my book club has a new read: my year of rest and relaxation! all i know about this book is that it's about a girl who hates her life so much she tries to sleep it away, and as someone whose only skill is that i can sleep for 18 hours straight on an average day, i'm scared to see how much i will relate

i'm taking a total of five courses this quarter: three math, one science, and ONE english. (everyone manifest that i pass my classes please and thank you). HOWEVER, the one english course i'm taking is full of books i either already love and can't wait to talk about, or have been meaning to read for years already. that being said: it's time for a hamlet reread!

Brooke is starting Strange Weather in Tokyo
started reading this while on the plane back to school with the intentions of reading a lot of it, however my connecting flight was cancelled and i was stranded at the airport (yay me!). BUT we have finally made it back to campus... which also means classes have started... which means i most likely won't be finishing this anytime soon, i fear.
