also the person at the library who has been one book ahead of me with these audiobooks has not checked out book 7. Doesn’t bode well for this one

Max the Manx cat is the only queer animal in this village (a freak) AND he’s emo. Diversity win

Yes I’m continuing this series even if the narrator is pissing me off

Beatrix would be able to clock AI from a mile away

Did…did this book just repeat an exact sentence that was said earlier in the book?? I’m listening to it on audiobook so it would be hard to go back and check but I’m fairly sure “[he said it] in the sort of humouring tone animals use when they’re talking to someone who has been recently ill and needs an extra bit of coddling” is a repeat sentence from an earlier chapter??

lmao this one is pissing me off

Why is the narrator talking to me like I’m a fool in this one

Oh no. Romani slur at the very beginning of this one. That doesn’t bode well

Sometimes you gotta reread the poetry collection that got you back into reading poetry

“The professor’s argument is worth quoting because it is so striking an illustration of the disingenuousness that bedevils the subject of art history” (108).

Damn, get his ass!!

“when he asked for your hand / in marriage / did he not want the rest of you / as I do?”

lesbian yearning is timeless

IT’S GAY!?

Found this at a book sale for like $1, and it turns out the copy I bought is signed, so that’s neat

I bought this secondhand and it smells like memories of visiting family in California

I haven’t decided if I like the poetry yet

You know when you realize you have 28 unread poetry books on your shelves and you against your better judgment bought one more and now you simply have to start reading the new poetry book right away lest you add to that growing pile?

At this point, I’m only in this for Evelyne’s sections

And because I have to read this for class

Oh GREaT!! One of my least favorite tropes!!! My enjoyment is ruined >:T

and so it begins

I was really Not excited to read this book but I’ll admit I’m enjoying it so far

I might hate this book actually

I got behind on my reading schedule so I am going to have to read way more of this per day than initially planned if I wanna finish it on time. I hope I like it

“There was a culture of safety [on oil rigs], Mr. McPherson told John, that was detrimental to efficiency. That’s what we want to trim.”

Holy fuck?? How evil?? This man’s dad died on an oil rig and you’re gonna say that to him??

I’m enjoying how blurry distinctions of time are in this

I could write at least three papers on this collection. All the through lines and themes are making me want to chew on the drywall (positive)

Ashnikko’s song “Microplastics” getting stuck in my head every time I hear/read the word microplastics is making reading this book an interesting experience

I was already trying to cut down on waste in small ways before starting this book. One chapter in I decided I need to start intensely cutting back on waste and plastic. Just finished chapter 7 and I’m considering an entire lifestyle change. I’m noticing plastic everywhere. It’s like a horror movie.

Great book tho

DNF for now. I plan to return to this eventually but it’s not the vibe at the moment.
