Enjoying but it's a bit slow

Did some reading this morning, rlly want to finish this today!

This book is hard for me to get through, it's def interesting but the history is complicated and I'm having to look up so much context/reread a lot!! But it's worth it Irish history is fascinating

Had to reread some and switch to kindle version (:/)

Audio booking to start, really want to switch to book soon

"But I have a new love for that glittering instrument, the human soul. It is a lovely and unique thing in the universe. It is always attacked and never destroyed - because 'Thou mayest.'"

This is reminding me so much of 100 Years of Solitude

So it begins... wow this is immediately so good
"The direction of a big act will warp history, but probably all acts do the same in their degree, down to a stone stepped over in the path or a breath caught at sight of a pretty girl or a fingernail nicked in the garden soil."

"Gaunt turned over to face Ellwood and caught his eye. Ellwood smiled, and a sudden, dry bleakness spread over Gaunt’s heart as he thought of Hercules, and Hector, and all the heroes in myth who found happiness briefly, only for it not to be the end of the story."

"There's an empty space in my mind where those memories might have been."

Starting again, still struggling to connect

Kinda bored I fear

Alright so I'm a dumbass and this is the same main character as Writers and Lovers 😭 I was like dang these characters are WAY too similar 😭😭

This book is so insanely similar to writers and lovers but I'm really enjoying it, also the UNC references are making me so happy

This is literally "writers and lovers" and "euphoria" combined and in another font but I will try to ignore that and be strong
Also this book is clearly set at UNC Lilly King I see u alumna sister

Wow wow wow instantly breathtaking

It's official I am reading my hundredth book of the year. I will finish it tomorrow and I will have read 100 books in 2025. Feeling oddly really emotional and so so so thankful, I am also really happy I'm closing it out with this amazing book.

Not as good as her others but I'm in my reading everything by a specific author era
