This book is so good. Glad I decided to re-read it after some years.

Let’s hope this re-read (AND AFTER THAT THE SEQUEL WHICH HAS JUST BEEN RELEASED) will drag me out of the dark depths of my reading slump🫠 So far I’m really enjoying it and I’ve read every day for three days straight now, so we’re off to a great start :)

post-concert blues literature

Not that far into it yet of course, but I already feel like this is totally up my alley!

Started several books but nothing hit, so here we are, reading Normal People--for the third time already. I just craved Sally Rooney's writing style and I'm enjoying it very much so I'm glad I decided to do a re-read :)

Made it past the foreword and two introductions! I have to say, I'm struggling with the language as a non-native English speaker, so it takes quite a bit of brainpower. But, the subject interests me very much, so I'll just call upon my friend The Dictionary and slowly make my way through it :)

I'm going to soft dnf this. I'm just completely disinterested. Maybe I'll finish it one day, but for now I'm just going to pick up a book that actually makes me want to read...

Oh no—I’m not liking this that much so far… (despite the fact that there’s a lot of music talk lol)

I do like this quote, though:
‘I personally like to pretend the phrase “deep cut” has a totally different meaning, one that has nothing to do with anyone else’s opinion. How deep does it cut? How close to the bone? How long do you feel it?’

It’s time. It’s finally time.

Coe's exceptional plotting will never cease to amaze me.

This is so addictive

This is soooooo good!!!

I'm truly baffled by how much these characters resemble cardboard cut-outs, some even without some paint slapped on.

Grohl is indeed a "storyteller". Each chapter is kind of a self-contained short story and everything is so well written! Really enjoying it!

lmao I already teared up

Is this going to become my favourite Rooney so far?

i'm enjoying this so much already

Binged the first 80 pages of a Dutch book. That doesn’t happen very often.
