I haven’t been reading enough but I mean it is a hard book to read. Like it’s interesting but it isn’t all that exciting. I’ve also been sick and on the move a lot so that might be why. Anyway gonna get more into it. Let’s get it

I have finished!! Wow it turned up in the end holy. So well written. The pages just flew by and I loved every second of it. Wow I’m going to miss him. Good old Tom Flett. Aight I’m going to listen to the Seascraper now. Bye friend

The world building in this one is really good. Combined with the atmosphere and the blunt way they speak. I don’t know it’s just really really good. I think it has made me realize how simple and beautiful good writing can be. I really do love writing holy duck. Let’s keep readinggggg

I just realized I haven’t written anything about this book. But yeah I have just finished. I don’t know how because it seemed so in and off that I was reading. But here we are and I have finished. I think I need to read it again if I’m being honest. Still a great book though and very interesting. On to the next one. Gotta get my desire to write back again. Let’s get it!

I’m finished I’ve finished. I was telling Herr Maronde this the other day and a few others I think, that it feels like nothing happened yet so much happened you know. Like somehow it was written in the time of a week or even less but still a helluva (iykyk) a lot happened. I think it’s one of those books that now that it’s done I really want to read again for some reason. Truly a masterpiece.

What’s crazy is how similar this book is to my book. Like exact same kinda talking to the reader aspect. But I mean this book probs better than mine. I mean yeah it’s a classic for a reason. But yeah has been great to read for inspiration for my book you feel. Anyway catch you later

I have actually just finished White Fang. Holy it turned up at the end. So vivid so well written. Jack London really knew what he was doing damn. I really want a dog now and actually thinking about it how long was homies (White Fangs life) like it seemed so long and intricate and beautiful. Great book.

The white fang has been long man. It doesn’t seem it but damn it’s long. It is definitely getting better. Like ofc it has been very interesting and now with the new owner actually showing him love has been amazing. Still a great book. Like looking back so much has happened. Like it feels like a whole life time. See you soon. Bye for now

I finished Call of the Wild. Such a great story. I really really enjoyed it. I took a great comfort in reading the book and by damn I really want a dog now. Beautifully written like actually crazy and so entertaining whilst also being quite a short book. I loved loved loved it. Now comes WHITE FANG!

I’ve actually finished and yeah, I feel like I say this quite often, but this book just shows how simple a story can be if the writing is good. And the writing here was good, very good in fact. Rest in peace stoner. On to the next one. See ya

This book is aight. It reminds me a bit of the secret history. Same kinda university vibe I guess. I’ve really been getting into it recently and with holidays coming up imma finish it soon I think. It has helped me to write as well which is great. See ya

This book sounds very simple and boring like life I guess. But it also shows how fascinating and complex even the most simple lives can be. It started quite slowly and I wasn’t reading much but now I am hooked. I’ve been racing through the pages and I’m interested to see what happens next. Very good writing. See ya

Ive actually finished this book. I do think it defo has some very good points about spirituality and death and how enlightening it can all be. But I must say the ending with god, a little so so. I just feel like a lot of it is the same stuff but just said with different words. Like with being present and open. They had so many different examples of the same thing. Anyway still a good book. On to the next one!

I think this book has a few really good points. Breathing and relaxing when difficult times arise and being more present and enjoying life more because of it. But I also don’t agree with all of it. Which I’ve had a difficult time doing because you get a book and think I need to agree with everything. But I don’t. Letting go even when a loved one dies is a little crazy. I think my talk with Wes helped me on this

I was kinda annoyed when I found out that this book wasn’t a novel but boy was I wrong. I am really really enjoying this book. I was gonna say love and maybe it is but either way I’m really enjoying it. I’ve felt calmer and more present because of it. Excited to keep reading. See ya

I have come to realize that this book is quite profound. We were talking about it last night over dinner and I think, finishing it today, I realized that it is actually about how women are neglected. How a woman can be seen as insane just because no one is willing to talk to her about her problems. Not once did she talk about her dreams. Quite sad actually. On to the untethered soul. See ya

I don’t really know what to think about this book. It seems pretty random and dystopian kinda. Idk how to describe it. Just feels like nothing has really happened. Anyway supposedly the ending is good so let’s keep it going. Untethered souls after this. Exciting!!

Im actually done. Hey this book was decent no doubt. I liked the story but it did feel pretty repetitive. I did read it pretty quickly so maybe it was good writing idk. Anyway I just didn’t like the characters all that much. The main guy seemed like a dick and the master was just clueless. Maybe I’m being hyper critical because it one the booker prize but anyway it was decent. On to the next book. See ya

This book is a really easy read and that is a compliment most definitely. Like the idea of the narrator writing a letter is very smart and immersive. It also helps with chapter making (the nights and days of when he writes). Anyway it seems like not much has happened but a lot has ofc. Anyway I’m going to finish it soon so see you then! Can’t believe Broken Earth trilogy was 9 months ago. CRAZY!!

I’ve actually finished the book already and I must say it grew on me. I wasn’t too much of a fan at first but as the pages turned I got hooked. I read the whole last 80 pages or so today and it was nice. It got me to write some more which I’m grateful for and it was definitely great to get an insight into the civil war and it was an interesting concept ofc. Anyway a nice way to end the year. On to the next one

It’s taken a while to get here but the book is decent. It wasn’t too hard to comprehend at the start but I just don’t know. It’s defo interesting and all but idk how helpful it is for my writing you feel. Anyway it will probs get better. I’m up to the 3rd moon now so will see. Plot probs gonna get spicy. See ya on the other side

I’ve actually finished the book already. It really got better in the end. Definitely a chilling book that was pretty interesting. Very short but showed a life nonetheless. Cormac McCarthy is still the goat and yeah imma go write some more now. See ya

I don’t know this book is pretty out there. Pretty random in the sense that the chapters are so short but also just random plot I feel. Like no way this book is 35+thousand words. I hope my book doesn’t feel so pointless and empty. Like how has all my writing and all the little anecdotes of my writing only been like 60% of this whole book. Anyway I’ll still read it. Let’s lock in. See ya

I’m finished. Kinda feels like finally but also it was a really nice read. Just a story told well with good plot dialogue and thought behind it. Lincoln highways shows how easy writing a book can be in a way. All you really need is a good plot, likable characters and a head on your shoulders and you’ll be grand. Thank you Emmett, Billy, Duchess and Wooly, you’ll be remembered

For a book that is called The Lincoln Highway there hasn’t been much about it. I mean of course it’s come up and is a pretty big focal point but they haven’t even started the drive yet and I’m already half way through it. Not to say that this book is still amazing and I love it so much but is just interesting to see. Love every character. See you on the other side

I started this a few days ago and I’m just getting into it. Damn I can feel this is going to be a journey and a good one at that. Yeah yeah I can just feel it. I’m so excited and Amor Towles is a master of his craft. So so excited. Enjoy it. See ya

I actually already finished. This book was a roller coaster man. You hated the characters and then felt for them and the. Loved them. It was really well written and was honestly just a thriller in a book. I get why people say it was book of the year, very easy to read and yeah just well written. I cried at the end of it so that says something. On to the next one. Defo a good read.

Look I defo am just starting with the book and I must admit the writing is pretty good like I can envision the scenes very easily. Now to the less good. It is way too graphic I feel. Like I get the whole revenge thing but damn I don’t gotta know how he smashes some innocent guys head in. Like yeah homie was in the gang but he didn’t deserve that. Anyway imma keep reading it and let’s see what happens….

I’m actually finished with the book already. I finally finished it today. It was honestly a really good read. Makes you think and that’s amazing. I honestly see myself so much in Cyrus. I was kinda hating at first but then I took a step back and saw: oh shit I’m trying to be like him, writing a book and all. Anyways was an amazing book. Well done Kaveh Akbar

Look martyr is definitely a decent book so far and I’m sure it gets better (Wesley said so) but so far it’s just been decent. Defo going to keep reading it though and the topic is very interesting I guess but now that I’m writing I think I look at books a lot more objectively. Anyway still big ups to whoever even finishes a book. So good on him and keep at it!
