So… Heathcliff is the villain, or…? 👀

Either way, #JusticeForNelly because that woman is a saint and martyr 😩😭✊🏾

Listennnn, Edgar is NOT FKN AROUND anymore and I LOVE it for him 😂 King FINALLY stood up for himself!

Heathcliff is being a real naai simping after that girl.

Didn’t think it possible but my aversion to Catherine increases with every word I read. I find myself rolling my eyes every time she opens her mouth, bruh. She genuinely is abhorrent. I am NOT rooting for her.

I’m sorry, Catherine Linton (née Earnshaw) is so. Freaking. Intolerable 😩 At this juncture, she’s very much giving Daisy Buchanan energy and I just—I can’t 🫠💀

I’m going into this read completely blind… okay, dramatic much, lol! Although I’ve heard about Wuthering Heights, I know veryyyy little about the book, the plot… damn even the author! Deadass thought it was Jane Austen, bruh—was SO confused by the writing style 😅

Now that I know this isn’t ausi Jane 👀… it’ll be easier for me to keep reading what’s in front of me and not what I ‘expect’

Chile, this is a HARD READ! I am quite literally weeping real, grown, thug tears 😭 But I value each careful word written and story told. There are so many unnamed black children whose stories echo the injustices of the characters and haints in this novel.

I think one of the most important takeaways from this story is to remember those who’ve passed unjustly. To say their names and tell their story.

Rereading this gyal… wish me luck 🥹😩

Yoh ha.a that last book I shelved makes me want to shout at people in vernac, moerrr 💀 talk about living up to your namesake mfondini 🫠

Entlek, let me reread Emilie Wilde to cleanse my eyeballs from that nonsense 😩😭

Almost at the end… really unsure which direction these cases will go.

Will there be time travel? Were the acts done by the same person? Are there true mythical beings that will deus ex machina the ending?

I really don’t know…

But what I do know is I want to have finished the book by tomorrow 🥹✊🏾

I have so many questions and theories and hypotheses.

I still have hundreds of pages to read 🥹 and I’m pushing through… but I really SBWL to skim through certain sections until the cases are solved and figure out WHY there’s even the 1670’s plot line to begin with 😭

Hopefully I can have time this weekend to somma speed through the rest because the anticipation is killing me 💀

Girl I am STRUGGLING to keep up with all the characters 😩 there are SO MANY PEOPLE involved in this story fam!

I think I need to draw a freaking mind map to keep up with who’s who because wow angeke 💀

Apart from that I’m chugging through it. Really interested in the 1670’s plot line.

In the interest of not dying completely poor and bequeathing my nonexistent children the 5million books I own but have not read 🥲 I have come up with a new system!

I have 8 books in my bookshelf and the next time I’m allowed to purchase a new book is ONLY when I’ve finished reading all 8 of these ones.

Is it fail-proof? Certainly not. But it’s a start… WISH ME LUCK!

Off to a slow start but we're moving. A page at a time, right?

Kendra's blissful ignorance is incredibly relatable. I see so much of my weird and wonderful life littered in her story. It did trigger a memory about my experience with micro-aggressions and my beautiful black friendships forged in fire (AKA the receiving-end of racism).

Anyway, I'll push through to 50% by the end of the day. LET'S GOOOO

Now reading: Admissions by Kendra James. Having gone to a similar school to the one she’d attended in her memoir, I KNOW it’s going to trigger some memories better left forgotten… 👀

In 2022 alone I’ve purchased and read books written by 6 female authors of which, 5 are women of colour and 4 are black women… and I LOVE THIS JOURNEY FOR ME!

ONWARDS ✨
