i’m only thirty pages in but why is this reading like a creepypasta 😭😭

Time for a lighter read. One of my favorites as a teenager—I’m hoping I still have a good time!

paused james because i felt like it would be better with the context from this one, and it’s been upwards of a decade since i skimmed huck finn in high school 😬

debating whether to dnf but certainly at least going to take a break

i’m reading really slowly lately but still enjoying this one

i might read everything sayaka murata writes. i love how strange and unique these stories are so far.

Apparently Kindle decided not to automatically update this one for me. I’m not used to having this many books going at one time, but that’s what it is going to be with this many short stories and nonfiction. I’m enjoying this one so far!

about 25% in and so far a lot of these stories are pretty unengaging. i’m hoping for better coming up soon.

i’ve nearly cried several times so far. this poetry collection is painful.

still enjoying it, but some of the novelty is wearing off. i do love miranda july’s voice but the stories aren’t quite sticking the landing for me.

I am loving this so far.

this is such a trudge, but i’ve owned this book for so long that i feel committed to finishing it. thank goodness for my library having the audiobook, it’s saving me a lot of pain in this endeavor.

Partially reading physically, partially audiobook listening. My heart hurts.

this has made a good first impression on me!

i’m really struggling with this one right now. it’s just not gripping me. i might pause and try again later.

DNF after two and a half chapters. I’m a little too weak for this one. Maybe another time.

im not proud to be reading this, but im having a hell of a good time

the pop culture references never stopped driving me insane. the beatles aren’t niche and radical face isn’t obscure i’m sorry to break the news. if this book wasn’t in such dire need of a huge re-edit i’d really love it.

i am mostly enjoying this book, but it’s doing this thing where shane or pilot says something that’s just a normal expression and the other is like “what? that’s such a crazy thing to say!” and it’s starting to get on my nerves lol. also, everyone knows who the beatles are. they also did in 2011. sorry.
