Orin is on page 13 of 37 of The Slicks: On Sylvia Plath and Taylor Swift
a truly astounding number of books about Taylor Swift have come out this year, and I've made it my point to read... most of them. This one by Maggie Nelson is a tiny book I first heard about around a year ago, when it came out in a super limited printing by a small publisher - I heard about it late and missed my chance. Well, now it's been released as a regular book I can get on Kindle, and that's exactly what I did.

Almost finished and oh no it's going to have a depressing ending (in line with the rest of the depressing plot lol)

Slow-moving, meandering, overly poetic for a zombie apocalypse novel, and not much happens. So far I like it.

Orin is on page 167 of 304 of Invisible Strings: 113 Poets Respond to the Songs of Taylor Swift
I'm almost at poem 100 - so, nearing the end (and the beginning of reading the poets' notes on their writing, of reading the list of what song each poem was inspired by, and then comparing it with my own notes on what songs each poem evoked for me)

Can't believe the folklore chapter did not discuss "august" at all. Still a good chapter, though

I reeeeeally struggle with reading short story collections; for some reason each longish story feels like a big challenge that it's very easy to not take on, simply putting the book aside for many months. I returned to it, though! Let's see if I can see it through.

Great so far! Manages to be both clear in its arguments and original in its takes (and believe me, I've read and heard a lot of serious Swift analysis). It's clearly written by a fan and for fans, weaves in the personal but also cites poems, cites music and literary scholarship, and cites relevant writing from Swift scholars and from professional fans.

Orin is 70% done with Blood Sweat Glitter
a few months ago I read a great review of this book which made me purchase it immediately, but then I didn't get to it for months so now I don't remember where I came across this review... Started reading this on a flight a couple days ago and am enjoying it! as you can see it's a quick read, I'm almost done.
