The question is not if it is going to pète mais bien when is it going to pète

The beginning scared me a bit but I'm in and will keep on reading this, I see why this book is such a classic!

The secondhand embarrassment of all of these lies!!!!!!

Ooooh I really like the writing and the flow of the audiobook!

I find Part 2 to be less solid than Part 1 but i'm still super into this story

Wanted to DNF at 4% but trying to give this audiobook more of a chance

Everything feels haunted, not just the house, but not in an obvious way

Oh i'm sooooo into this atmospheric cold story

I am expecting this to get wild later and I'm so down for mysterious adventures!!!

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
