As I told Hunter and Artie, it is a book that makes life feel worthy of living because of what it says.

read yesterday and didn’t update, that’s what this is.

We broke up, so I couldn’t read, save for easy books for some time. But I’m back to it now and I’m glad I am. Reading this in the mountains.

I heard a collision almost occur near the spot Nicholas’s father was killed as I logged this.

I was telling the boyfriend last night, she writes extremely similar to how I imagine I would write if I were an author, and I cannot tell if I'm enthralled or disgusted by this. The last paragraph I read was so embodying that it made me feel a bit sick. Girlhood really is universal, no matter what way you slice it.

Honesty and realism flanks every sentence. I’m trying to not let it turn me off… I’m trying to look for the elegance in it. Either way, I do feel seen, as per usual.

It’s just blow after blow. This is what I imagined of the Bell Jar.

Jesus fucking christ

This is exactly what I needed. Already, I’ve found community with two others who, when noticing the book I was buying, got excited about Joan Didion. A girl’s girl, it seems.

Seriously don’t know what the fuck is wrong with me. Shit starts getting really really good and I say ok that’s enough for me. Anyways, picking this back up to finish it after *checks watch* a whole month of not reading it.

organ donor? i hardly knowher

woke up at 2am with a muscle spasm in my neck, naturally i knocked out about 20 pages

Started it yesterday but I FOGOT. TO UPDATE MY STATUS!!!!

i did it again. i read for too long and now my heart rate is too high and i feel all fluid.

didn’t update last night, when i should’ve.

A relaxing read after Wuthering my Heights. I’m beginning to understand how people can read so many books in a year.

Fuck yeah! New book! I keep going back and forth on how I feel about the writing style. It’s a bit much, but I also love it. I think it works because the author is just genuinely good. If it was a style like this surrounding a bunch of nothing, maybe not so much. I’m excited!

Meant to update it yesterday. I am now on page 263, not 248.

It feels as though the wuthering winds come as a reward for my better pace and diligence.

It takes you like a storm’s wind.

I need to pick up the pace on this one. It’s not meant to be read over a long span.

Didn’t have time to write my chapter summaries today, but I’m always glad to be chipping away at this book.

I have now begun the chapter on page numbers. If the whole of it is anything like its introductory pages, I am in for a treat. Duncan seems partial to page numbers. I look forward to embarking on this adventure with him.

I would read so much faster if I wasn’t such a diligent note taker. 😎

Forgot to update here because I’ve been tracking on storygraph :3
