all of my goodreads friends have been reading so fucking much this week and here i am struggling to finish even one page bc all i've been doing in my free time is watch the olympics and transfer notes from my old copy of the count of monte cristo (which is literally falling apart 😭) to my new shiny copy. it. takes. ages.

EWWW NOOOO men are scary

One thing about me, imma read a play!

Klytaimnestra, they could never make me hate you.

Hope this becomes a new favorite!

Gonna read a bunch of plays this weekend. Starting with this one.

Seriously thinking about DNFing this book. I've enjoyed quite a few of Ernaux's books but the ones in which she muses on her sexual relations are insufferableeee.

I know I didn't particularly enjoy this book on my last reread but this time around I am having the time of my life. It's just so thrilling and fun! Can't wait to finish this tonight! Shit just went down at the action!

Just survived the Kanej bathroom scene. Screaming, crying, throwing up. Reading this on my lunch break probs wasn’t the best idea. 😭😭

Started the day reading for an hour. Kaz and Jesper just beat the shit out of one another. At least I’m wide awake now. 😭

The wonderful thing about this duology is that all six protagonists are equally compelling. Crazy work.

Our boy just confessed his LOVE to our girl and she simply nods. I LIVE. Also, this is a lot more exciting than I remember. Thus far, it doesn't drag at all - which was my major gripe on the last reread!

Jokes on me, I jumped straight into the second book.

in desperate need of some fun after the dullness that was frost's poetry - the crows are just the right ones for the job!

One thing about me? I eat this story up every single time. It‘s my third time reading and I’ve watched the TV show about four times. This shit always slaps.

It‘s 1 AM and I have zero regrets.

I hate every single one of these poems with a fiery passion. 😭😭 They are soooo tedious. I feel a one star rating incoming.

The introduction was fascinating, unfortunately, Frost is not really the poet for me. His poems don't speak to me at all and I find his narration tedious to say the least.

There are 20 books I haven't written proper reviews for in 2025. Will try to write as many this weekend as possible (I'm completely free of engagements so this should be fun). I want to start 2026 with as much of a clean slate as possible.

For the first quarter of 2026 I plan on reading the 12 books I started in 2025 but never finished. Most of these were abandoned within the first 50 pages for various reasons. This one will be my first read of the new year & I couldn’t be more excited!

Plan on reading this today. The beginning is hella weird but I‘m intrigued.

Schaue gerade die 2. Staffel von Maxton Hall. Bin ich die einzige, die findet, dass das Acting rapiiiideee abgenommen hat ggü. Staffel 1 (und selbst da war es nicht besonders gut)? & irgendwie versuchen sie sich immer mal wieder an 'nem Comedy vibe, was total scheitert, mich dann aber tatsächlich (unabsichtlich) ungemein erheitert.

Another book I started months ago (back when I was in Zurich welp); will hopefully finish this within the next week!

Started this book MONTHS ago but I'm finally finishing it now! Thus far, I don't really know what to make of it tbh.

I love that Dürrenmatt wrote 100 different versions/ endings for each of his works. Man truly was never satisfied.

If you ever catch me voting for a white author in the Goodreads choice awards JUST KNOW THEIR BOOK FUCKING SLAPS and euqals the second coming of Christ. Just saying.

"Der Meteor" SLAPPPPSSS. Dürrenmatt hasn't written a bad play in his life. TRULY AN ICONNNNNN.

I love this play so much!! John needs to confess his sin to court, he could end it all if he would just admit what he did to Abigail. Hot damn!!!!

Just started this and not impressed thus far. I know Frost has some undeniable bangers so I'm waiting for those!

This is a reaally good play and Miller is funny as hell!
