This book feels eery, just like the humid forest described or the people in dark masks, i honestly couldn't have picked a better time of the year to read it

I'm so invested in knowing what's going to happen!!!

Finally reading this one!!

Yasmine Haj's essay was so melodic. I would quote it all!!!
"Arabic is all the jokes we couldn't tell, the stories we couldn't share, or co-create. It is all the cities and towns we had to leave and resettle and rebuild. All the places we were forced to call home."

what a thoughtful first essay! reminds me to check in with myself as a translator more regularly ❤️

Cinq étoiles maybe, tellement de belles oeuvres les livres d'Elizabeth Acevedo

when a book on a niche topic (here, translation from a decolonial feminist perspective) feels like it was made for you >>>>

Ce livre n'est pas vraiment fait pour les OCD girlies on dirait, car it hits really too close to home et mes pires moments 😭

Ça me rappelle de façon vivide mes pires moments 🙃 les gens qui l'ont lu d'une traite, couldn't be me, j'ai déjà besoin d'un break lol 🙃 truly is this fucking play about us

I cannot stop listening to this omg

and yet i already know this will be a hit

This book feels raw and authentic and I love that

I wanna cryyyyyyyy

I have the feeling all narrators will be this crude (I don't think we've seen them all yet but it's the vibe i'm getting)

This book will be GOOD good

This is starting so well i'm intrigued

Je me demandais si ça allait devenir répétitif, mais non!!!

this is fun so far huh!!!!!

Ah, ça fait du bien un bon livre après avoir lu de quoi d'archi nul 😌

good thing what just happened is not a trigger of mine because it was violent to read, where are the TWs in the book omg

i wish i could say something positive about this book but alas 😫

Ces filles ne sont pas amies elles agissent comme si elle se détestent TOUTES

Oh oh, this is kind of giving I will hate read if I keep reading 😩

:dusty-stick:

Shout out à ce livre qui me sort d'un reading slump, that is no small feat. Also c'est tellement absurde i'm obsessed like eugène ionesco who?????

the corporate lingo is way too spot on, it's upsetting 😩

La quétainitude continue mais i'm having fun

Est-ce que ça commence comme toutes les fantasy YA du genre? Absolument? Est-ce que ça m'avait manqué? Absolument.

Tout est si bittersweet 💔

I wanna cry lol 💔
