okay so he’s humanizing this literal nazi a little too much for my liking but i cannot tell where his storyline is going so. idk

reading and going “god what they did was awful” and then remembering all of this actually happened to real humans. and i just have to continue on with my day. wtf

this guy is a good writer but i do not like the way he describes the physical appearance of children at all. like it’s…not gross….but it’s just a little weird

one again jo is so fucking funny

mama march….fortunately i don’t think you can make your daughter love a man just bc he was of service to you…like sorry. but also not really.

this book may be very old and outdated but i do enjoy the writing

jo is so funny dude

jo just said “…i don’t mind being a guy, if im comfortable” okay. Hello? is anyone else here with me

such a good depiction of siblings so far omg

jo :( you can’t blame yourself for everything :( all you can do is try :(

“…for love casts out fear, and gratitude can conquer pride” oh dear god. i can’t take it

unsurprisingly jo is my favorite character so far

“they all drew to the fire, mother in the big chair with beth at her feet, meg and amy perched on either arm of the chair, and jo leaning on the back, where no one would see any sign of emotion if the letter should happen to be touching” oh my god???

i think i keep putting off finishing this book bc i don’t want it to end oops

84 pages in and they’re just clarifying that the narrator still does not have a name 😭😭they’ve been “freed” for like 7?? 9?? years at this point…none of yall gave her a name?

i am glad i saw the movie before reading this because holy shit…he really did Not want to go. oh my god

i Love women

“men mean you are alive, child. what are we, without a future, without children?” ugh. gross but okay

okay so apparently not nazis…as they explain that they were all seemingly taken randomly but with the assurance that none of them knew each other or were at all related….what is happening

i cannot tell if this is set somewhere occupied by nazis but the description of how most of them were taken or separated sounds like that. also i do not believe that all these women are stuck in a forced proximity situation together, and then suddenly a CHILD shows up somehow and they all go “let’s hate her actually. she has no mother and can’t remember the one she did have but she’s annoying” HUH?

this book opens with a young girl describing her experience of maladaptive daydreaming…about one of the guards who monitor her and the other like 39 women that are imprisoned in a big cell. what the hell

page 350…jesus christ. could not form a sold opinion on captain nemo and now i want to hate him, if it wasn’t for the other actions in the resort of the book that have so far contradicted this one. ned im sorry i called you annoying (you still are ❤️) but my god do i agree with you now

loved ned at the beginning of the book but good GOD he’s getting annoying

i love them a little too much. i think it’s taken over my brain

with every chapter it’s getting a little harder for me to stay invested. love the mystery around captain nemo so far but there are only a few interesting moments every few chapters that pull me in, and then it’s like 20 pages of measurements of how far they’ve travelled and descriptions of how annoyed ned is getting. like okay girl we get it

the mixing up of measurements is messing me up BAD. why are some of the sea creatures measured in yards but then also feet??? why is the submersible going 25 miles an hour but things are also still measured in leagues and yards. i’m tired
