I’m not loving the writing in this book so far but the plot is good so it’s enough to push me to finish it

I’m reading this book for a class I’m in, but why is Robert Walton lowkey in love with this stranger (a man) that just came aboard his ship? I know the story isn’t about them but we need a story about them

This book is already going way quicker than Lolita

It’s slowing down again but I’m more determined than ever to finish it!

PART TWO

finally!

woah

just got a book for $3.27 😃

As I was reading, I realized that even tho I’m only 70 or so pages in, there was already so much that happened in this small portion. He moved to America, he met the family he’s staying with, he got closer to Lolita, she gets sent off to summer camp and her mother confesses to Humbert, they get married (he was pretty much given an ultimatum) and more stuff is still happening!

Nothing to say about this book yet except that’s it’s gonna take a while to finish 🫤

I think I need to learn French to read this book

Story #7 done…

What a creepy story 😬 I had assumed the boy was real the whole time until the ending. I did suspect ghostly sightings when the horse started acting weird, but I thought it was a misdirect. I think the mother saw what the girl was talking about as well but didn’t want to worry her daughter. That poor boy…maybe he can become friends with the girl one day.

Story #6 done!

An adorable tale about a father who tells his daughters a story about a spider trapped in the wings of a golden eagle. The daughters join the eagle on an adventure towards the hotel nearby and then arrive back safely to the beach. The father, surprisingly, doesn’t remember telling them the story but the girls had fun anyway. A very cute and wholesome tale.

Story #5 done!

Another poem-like story. I enjoyed how it talks about how modernized and industrialized nature and rural areas are becoming, but despite that, humanity and human nature still remain in these gray, dull areas.

Story #4 done!

This one was my favorite so far. I thought it was so cute how the two boys just found an anthropomorphic bear and didn’t question it at all. The bear acted so cute too. I’m glad there were pictures too because I don’t think I would have been able to visualize it. The reveal at the end that it was the father (that left them) and the mother knew the whole time was kind of melancholic.

Story #3 done (if you can even call it that)

After reading this I remembered that this book has poems in it as well. It was very well structured and it captured the beauty of childhood in a cabin farm surrounded by woods and responsibility while also remembering the fun they had while young.
