she IS the definition of whip smart. listening to this on 1 bc i’m loving her writing sm.

eeeeee!! my fav book. happy to be re reading it.

just opened up “the diaries of franz kafka” to a random page and it was todays date, october 2nd. now i know i just read one of his books- any recs?

“when he calls you bait it means he invented you. he means we’re nothing but logos to him.”

loving this author and her writing style. just bought her debut to read next!

i’m just reading this cause i like the title

“his mouth had left me vulnerable. i felt shame, green and new.”

“my heart was careening in a way that felt inextricable from a good time.”

“One sentence puzzles me: The world was constantly speaking to Ancient Man. I do not understand why this sentence is in the past tense. The World still speaks to me every day.”

trying to get my reading goal is a slippery slope 👀

i love her writing but this book is so hard for me to get into

“she had the carriage and demeanor of a well-bread exclamation point.”

“Anyone who clamored to tell you they had some sort of psychological disorder was, in his experience, either boring and desperate to seem interesting, or unable to accept that they were fucked up in some ordinary way, probably by their own hand and not because of the childhood they were equally in a rush to tell you about.”

DNF. i liked the idea and the characters but i felt like i already knew the ending and just didn’t care

“i’ve had Grahams’ number since i plugged it into an iphone 6”

docked a star bc mc didn’t face retribution for cheating on her husband who literally did nothing wrong

“the life force in this dish is like another ingredient. i can feel it nourishing me.”

oops dnf

i’ve been reading short books that i don’t even like to hit my 100 reading goal and it’s kind of ruined it for me. so i’m going to put down animal farm.

reading short poetry books to hit my 100 goal. oops.
