like okay character growth sure i’m seeing it but i HATE THIS CHARACTER she still is the most insufferable woman and i want to get out of her head. only still going bc i might as well finish at this point. i keep hoping there will be some growth point that changes it for me but i think we just don’t get along…

body keeps the score mention in the giver!

idk y’all i’m losing steam. i might give up. only still reading bc i want to know what happens to salander but i’m struggling. it’s cool but there are too many threads to follow and new characters. the crime is so much bigger and government conspiracy instead of on the ground and interesting. also though the translation is really funny. the amount of times they’ve used “pumping iron” kills me

reading bc it’s from a female perspective and yes i already like it better sorry i’m biased

lily’s chickens!! so compelling for a girl with her first garden and a continuously growing pull toward home food production (also miss the chickens)

amount of times i cried during the last chapter: 3. childbirth is intense.

don’t love the audiobook reader but enjoying the story. also have been 2 instances in which i didn’t LOVE the way the narrator talks about women, nothing crazy just not what i like to hear, which is weird since the book is written by a woman. haven’t figured that one out yet.

breathtaking

what a beautiful story of good and kind people. i have already laughed out loud and cried a little bit and i’m not even 1/4 of the way through. nor do i understand ANY of the surgery words. unbelievable.

i was really loving parambil. so beautiful, so much love and food, invoking all the senses. the jump to glasgow was a little jarring and definitely unexpected but okay looking forward to where we go from here

intimidating size. good covid book. 30 pages in, already really joyful and sweet.
