"it became clear to her how much energy she'd expended suppressing her inner chaos over the years. Her mind and body had been locked in that fight, and it had kept her from being fully present in the world. She had organized her life as if her past was still happen-ing, as if she was still anticipating an attack."

"White people cannot understand themselves or their relationships to others without white supremacy. This lack of understanding explains why there is so little scholarship in this area. White scholars have ignored or dismissed a rigorous discourse in violence because to engage WOULD BE TO INDICT THEMSELVES." (In regards to violence/nonviolent resistance)

I want to read everything this woman writes!!

The way my use of social media has been reduced to probably 6 hours per week since I started reading this book… It is not as if I didn’t know; it’s more about what we all do, even knowing.

This book got waaaay too redundant. I just want to move on the the next one in the series 🫥

Idk what it is about this book, but I like the narrative. I think it weaves the struggles of being an undocu queer immigrant well w every day occurrences pero no se, hay algo que como que no me hace del todo click.

Reading for class. I feel a bit disconnected from it, it is as if someone is writing at me? Not for me? So like if I was a teen it would feel too perfectly staged? No se 🫨

Page turning but also feeling manipulated by every investigation. There's always a suspect, but there's no evidenceeeeee running in circles, truly.

Omg she was mentored by NO OTHER THAN JAMAICA KINKAID 🤯🤯🤯

All the dynamics she describes, either because she experienced it or saw it... are saw raw and compelling. The only thing, is that... i don't know if it's mean to say but after she reads an emotional section, you can tell she has cried because the rest of that section sounds as if she had a cold 🫣

Ya en el terreno de robots como placer sexual 🤣 Cosas que nunca había pensado pero que ya son más reales y me asustan 🫨

In my quest to explore all of Junji Ito’s work… I have to say this book is not nearly as creepy / scary as others I’ve read

Everyone is out here looking for expert Robocists, but Elijah Baley is the real expert. My guy got the robots doing mental gymnastics haha

SE ARMO EL SAPEROCO Y SE PRENDIO ESTA VAINA, SE ULTRA PRENDIOOOOOO!

Maybe it is because I already read the first two, but this one started out with a bang. By page 5 you already holding for dear life to follow Bailey on his new adventure!

I'm hooked!

I haven't read a book that makes me reckon with my own trauma the way this book has...

Si Ruiz Zafon vuelve a usar la palabra "incorporarse" una vez mas, a mí me va a dar algo!!!! SIN EMBARGO, it's been really funny <3

I still cannot comprehend WHY the last 200 pages have taken me longer to reas than the previous 900!!! 😤😤

Everything was going as usual hunger ganes fashion, and then we get this plot twist and I am... so confused.

La combinación autor y narrador del audiolibro es perfecta. Hay un punto donde no se si disfruto el libro por quien lo esta leyendo o por su historia? Seguro, los dos 🤪

I'm not ready to say good bye to the losers club 🥺🥺🥺🥺

No soporto al personaje principal, pero me intriga algo en esta historia...

Segunda parte de esta serie donde realmente esperaba volver a encontrar a Fermin... Pero parece ser que es solo una historia que pasa en el mismo mundo, mas no que sigue a los personajes del anterior... No estaba preparada para eso pero bueeeeeh...

Interwoven similarities that I was definitely NOT expecting.

I love the insight we gained from Snow. I know is all perfectly curated, but the fact that it works so well makes me giddy… as if I didn’t know 🤪

First there was a murder, then I was trying to picture a world full of robots and no human contact… AND NOW, we are back to the murder, motive and weapon and so many twists and turns with two chapters left 🤯🤯🤯

Imagine not wanting to breathe the same air as others and having robots take care of… everything 🤯

This is one of the MOST complex books I’ve read in my life…
