Sweet and ducking sad. Goddamn

Damn man, Lila does not pay attention to shit.

I can only handle this book 1hr at a time. It’s too relatable, filipino family wise.

TITA ROSIE WHAT THE FUCK

Man there are a lot of characters to keep track of. On the flip side all women! Their situations are very interesting and horrifying.

AHHH IM GETTING WAR FLASHBACKS AAHHHH ISOAOSLFLALALPXLDMFNFJAIO filipino families am i right?

Thank god she’s disillusioned. If that shit kept going i woulda thrown my phone. I like it now.

Man fuck this guy

It’s ramping up. The women are fighting and the man is dangerously delusional. British people gone wild. The beetle has yet to be found. I fear i’ll be sad once i finish this book. Finishing any story with characters i’ve become attached to hurts. They’re like friends i’ll never see again.

This is a texan woman’s josei isekai story. Omfg this is fucking hilarious. I’m thoroughly entertained. It’s also a great perspective into how texan people think about city slickers. There’s a whole lot of “not like other girls” “special way of thinking (i.e. texan)” and “i’m so average no good man wants me.” I live for this shit and love it. Good slop. Om nom.

This lady is so normal and average looking that it makes her special. I love romance slop, gimme, gimme!

Overall this book was a book. I can’t recommend it. I feel i wasted my time on it just to feel angry in the end. It’s supposed to be a feel good book i just didn’t feel good at all. It’s probably bc i don’t agree with how the characters acted and/or resolved their issues. Eh.

its one of those feel good books where things just work out. Mc got to spend a year rent free working and living at a chill bookstore owned by her uncle who loves her. Not a big fan of the writing style. It’s very direct. I also took a long ass break and read a fuck ton of manga. I think my brain has lost cells bc of that manga fever month i spent. Irrelevant to the book just felt like saying it.

I read way too much manga between the last book update i wrote and for this. So far the start is pretty cheesy and i feel like the story might be predictable but i enjoy the simplicity and calmness that comes from stories about people picking up the pieces and putting em back together. Hell i played stardew valley and it had a similar start. Here’s to healing and hopefully inheriting a home in a close nit community

Feeling iffy on this one. There is some advice that just ain’t sitting right with me. Very easy to fall into a weird mindset…
I might dnf, but we’ll see.

I loved it. Now where to get lunch.

This was a very pleasant and short read. I learned a lot about a gift society and how questionable our current one is. I dont know if my previous progress comment went through but this really is just a call to action. I wish we lived in a world that was pleasant and not run by greedy corporations

I’ve reread the first few chapters so damn much i’m exhausted by it. I of course mean i’ve reread them over several years. It’s a good book with funny jokes and pokes fun at the world and how we think it works. The characters all have that british charm. Miserable but fast witted.

Basically calling into question how our society is built on questionable economics that don’t make sense. It’s basically a call to action. A call to live in a gift society instead of a society ruled by greed. Of course, they’re not an economist, but honestly why the hell do we live with so much greed? Ugh i blame white men.

I think this is beautiful. It makes me so sad and angry at the state of our world and how we live. So much is lost and so little is going to be left. How are we not angrier? How are we able to continue living as if we are not on fire? Catch me later this month tryna read 1984. Check this shit out * flips skateboard tech deck*

I’m not sure what i expected but it wasnt a guy making a deal with the devil. The writing is kinda eh? I might drop this because of it. It reads like a high school kid writing this.

They’re inexperienced in expeditions, full of secrets and miscommunication. I appreciate the fact the characters aren’t entirely perfect. There’s a good balance of humor and seriousness. I’m also glad it never pisses me off.
