This is EXCELLENT!

DNFing this at 20%, as I’m just not engaged enough.

*chuckles nervously* what the fuuuuuck

Yeah, this is the coolest. Interrupting my very engrossed reading in order to go to the cinema and watch the film for the third time 😂

Like everyone and their grandma, I’m completely obsessed with the film and could not wait to get all the questions I had answered! This is on track to be my favourite book of the year so far. The audiobook is INCREDIBLE!

Attempting a new reread – hopefully of more than just the two first books this time around. So lovely to dive back into this familiar, comfortable story ♥️

Starting this one for a buddy read and hope I can get through the audiobook before it’s due at the library 😅

Beautiful writing that I hope I won’t tire off halfway through

Naomi Klein, you marvel of a writer. Incredible how timely a book written 20 years ago can be.

I need to reserve a whole afternoon and evening next week to finish this in one go cause it has binge-potential. Absolutely loving it!

Beautifully written and such a quiet atmosphere. My favourite kind of dystopian novel.

Finally picked this chonker up and I’m already loving it. It’s definitely going to take me some time to get through, but I think it’ll be an enjoyable read. I LOVED Doppelganger and I wanted to see what else Klein has to offer.

Had you told me a few years ago that I’d willingly pick up nonfiction about capitalism and economic policies, I think I’d have laughed in your face 😅

Ms Reid, I still think the writing is subpar but I love that there is more focus on mental health, hockey and homophobia in men’s sports. The character work is where these books truly shine and what made me come back. I’m glad Heated Rivalry got optioned and turned into a wonderful surprise of a tv show.

I had hoped to finish this before my London trip, but it’s turned into a travel companion. Still enjoying it!

Fucking harrowing read. I knew there was child labour in the cobalt supply chain for batteries but I had no idea of the extent of it. Thousands of children, some as young as 7 or 8. And the fact that sexual abuse of women and girls is a common occurrence in the mines. The world has simply failed the Congo in every regard.

Seeing my book buddy’s review of this, I was a bit worried but so far, I’m enjoying this quite a bit. So much to uncover and I have zero theories rn because I don’t know the exact genre of this book 😅

I fear the writing is a little too whimsical for my liking, but Paul Giamatti makes this a pleasant listening experience even though the story isn’t really my cup of tea.
