everyone always beats me over the head to read murakami, and i’ve judged the author without reading a whole work. i’ve tried before, but it all gives off junky trope vibes, it’s predictable, and i’ve guessed the ending by 30% in every time. i really want to try and finish a whole novel of his, but goddamn, this isn’t it for me

aw shucks, this book is gonna fuck me up. and i’m okay with that

nothing can save me from this reading slump besides carl and donut

GLOB THIS IS GOOD nick cutter never misses

putting my gold hot pants back on because i’m so excited for blacktail

maybe i’m just grumpy and in a bad headspace for reading. either way - i’m not having as much fun as the first read through. and i’m wondering why i ever liked this series in the first place. i guess i grew up or whatever

always silly, always fun

honestly i thought this was going to suck, and im only reading it bc im loyal to the author. and some of it does suck, exactly the way i thought it would. yet i am riveted

i guess i’m in it to win it now? its a bit fun but im still… meh

i desperately want to like this but i just can’t. one more try before getting sent to dnf

i waited so long for this and i’m so disappointed on so many levels.

i’m probably insane but the last time i read a rant this long and nonsensical was ayn rand. and that gives me the heebie jeebies 💀

still sat

so far, a pile of stuff i don’t care for spattered with bits of gold.

“i approach this love like a biologist pulling on my rubber gloves and white lab coat. you flee from it like an escaped political prisoner, and no wonder.”

rough start, i was daunted by the quantity of front matter/prelims. takes a while to settle in, but now? i’m fucking sat

i didn’t realize sarah gailey was a lil freak but i’m here for it

there is a character that addresses the reader and they use :) and :( often. now i understand why this audio book is 13 hours longer than the original novel - it ain’t extra content. it’s because the narrator literally says “smiley face” or “frowny face” to convey each emote to the listener. it’s a fucking brutal listen, do not recommend.

it’s probably intentional but it super annoys me that the bunnies have this huge power, and all they do with it is attempt to make a dream boy. guess they’re all hetero

meh. would dnf this if it wasn’t so short. it’ll take so little time to wrap it, might as well slog

revisiting old friends for comfort

annual pop book… i keep laughing out loud and we have cranked audio up to 1.5x. gonna be a rough time if i actually can finish the whole thing.
