and you know what? next time a YA book club asks me to reread a little women retelling maybe i’ll just say no

WAAAAAHOOOOOOOOOOOO

me waking up at 3am with a single thought: if you squint this is actually pretty cut and dry adaptation of the musical annie

it’s my fault for reading too slow but libby returned my loan in the middle of my car ride so now i have this on hold again so i have to wait

i picked this up KNOWING that husband material proved that these idiots shouldn’t even be together and now here they are. responsible for a whole entire human. when they can barely take care of themselves. why am i putting myself through thissssss

L MORGAN LEE??!!!!! omg hi

for now what i’ll say is that it’s wild how different this one feels from johanna van veen’s other books. but that’s all i’ll say!

can i talk about how crazy it is that i DID do it btw? pure willpower and several miracles later and i did survive a Four Bookclub Week.

just searched how many reviews mention umbrella academy and its over 200 which, like. yeah. had to google when that came out. this book came out in between the comics and the tv show, so like. eyeball emoji.

its wild to me how i can be sooo aware of a piece of media, like conceptually, but have ZERO idea what its about. like my parents love this book and this movie, i've always known about it, but i am Just Now learning what the plot is

NARRATED BY SIMON VANCE HELL YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

i’m not built for epic fantasy man i feel like i’ve been reading this book for eighty years

how’s it going, i am an Idiot and joined a Seventh Book Club for some godforsaken reason and yes that is why i am rereading a book i just read for book club literally Two Months Ago because i already forgot what happened. i need to be medically examined

man i wish *i* could understand my feelings about religion. 96% of the time im either neutral or hyper-critical about it but then a book will mention benedictine monks and im like!!!!!!!!! yooooooo i know them!!!!!!!!!!!!!! sac did a number on me

as someone who never used to read a lot of nonfiction, i so get it now. how exciting is it when shit starts to overlap??!! michael harriot started talking about harriet jacobs and i was just like !!!!!!!!!! i know her!!!!!!!!!!!!!! literally read her book two weeks ago. look at me getting smarter.!! in other news, i’d like michael harriot to teach me about Everything please

i don’t know if ive ever in my life felt rage this strongly

okay yup real life is truly more gruesome and awful and unbelievable than any horror story could ever be, because what the hell how am i only 11% of the way through, you’re telling me it’s gonna get WORSE ????!!!!

this one’s on me. too much code not enough girls

ok im formulating an opinion about historical fiction based on real people which is that i think i'd rather just read a biography. felt this way about lioness of boston, too

me excitedly screaming about the isabella stewart gardner mention as if the art collecting world in the 1910 isn't like. tiny. not to mention we're literally at an auction In Boston

i thought this was going to be bad in a fun way but it might just be bad in a bad way :(

help my girlfriends have unionized

this book was immediately bad in a fun way. i’m going to hate read this soooo good

the rush of serotonin i get when sophie shipmates reunite needs to be studied. like WHY on EARTH do i CARE about the BRITISH NAVY

i’ve been pronouncing “mauritius” wrong for eight years

these books are so, so, so bad. i want to read 80 of them

these books aren’t for everyone which sucks because you guys are missing out on the funniest scene in all of literature. “jack, you have debauched my sloth.”

OKAY!!!!! this is more of less the last part i remember reading when i stopped in 2018 so im officially in uncharted waters!!!!!!!! IM SCARED!!!!!!!!!!
