started my annual re-read for 2025 in march of 2026… yea

wait i’m eating this up

dnf @ 46% b/c I’m bored and want to read something else

haven’t read anything in a couple of days because life is really testing me at the moment but so far this has been so compelling. looking forward to getting back to it

so excited to start thisss!!

omg, I can’t take reading about Pecola being so abused by life anymore. all she does is walk around depressed and mind her business, JUSTICE FOR PECOLA

not bad so far but if something doesn’t happen soon this won’t be more than 3 stars

cal deciding that he wants to be good and taking on the burden of knowing about cathy and protecting aron from it, oh my shaylaaaaa

Rachel Cusk had her thesaurus in handdd

“…the word timshel—‘Thou mayest’—that gives a choice. It might be the most important word in the world. That says the way is open. That throws it right back on a man. For if ‘Thou mayest’—it is also true that ‘Thou mayest not.’” p. 303

cathy ames has to be one of the most horrific and sociopathic characters in literature, right? right???

paused for now cause why’d this put me into a slump😐

impulsively started my reread of this on the train this morning🙂‍↔️

wow another TJR banger, she does not miss
