the first two stories might be the best thing i've read this year......

i am loving this but it is so dense... it takes me a long time to read each page

of course i'm reading this

dropping it for now......... too much drama for my little heart

me when people ask me if i have a crush on yoongi: "I don’t want real life. I don’t even want romance. Nothing horrifies me more than the idea of marrying Moon. I need something else. Piercing recognition. Metaphysics. Byzantine iconography. I don’t want to meet him; I want to have known him for years and years."

only read 3 stories but the hopelessness in them made them really hard for me to read. worse than sad or tragic. might comeback to this at a happier time of my life, i might not

i just needed something to read on work days-nights that was lighter than Flights :_) loving it so far

just read one story and already a fan 🥴

please stop no more cannibalism in my fiction ʘ̥﹏ʘ

i am hating this 😭 does it get better?

it's taking me three years to read 1 page every day

i started it and realised i need to have my brain ON for this one so let's see if it works!!

read all the short stories, only have the novella left, and it's so great i could read it and be engaged reading it at 4 am with the flu

a stepping stone to normalize featuring bts in literary novels. let's get it!

this is so good my heart is beating faster

I started this but it's too heavy to bring on my trip so I'll be pausing it until I am back :___

I'm loving this so much :O

I actually thought I'd bought her short story collection and not just one story but OH WELL, it's Jenny Diski (just read Heidi Julavits' intro atm)

My first audiobook ever (.)(.)

and VERY RANDOMLY I ended up reading two books set in Japanese islands at the same time ???

I was not a fan of 'Ecstasy' (her reality so extremely different from mine) but have loved the rest until now

loving it, though for now my favourite was the first one

I love VanderMeer, I don't know why this book is taking me so long, but everytime I pick it up I just manage to read a few pages??? Maybe still haven't reached the place where it gets juicy???
