This isn't grabbing me like Piranesi. Gonna put it on hold for a while I think

noticing some cool little things, now that it's my second read through

Yeah I'm reading it again immediately okay?

NEW MURDERBOT NEW MURDERBOT

Yes, again

much anticipated!

Yeah. I'm rereading immediately after finishing.

And why not? Why shouldn't I read it several times in a row?

No. Can't.

I think I hate this?

I guess it's time. Everybody loves this one so here I go

Funny, I had to put this one aside for a little while. I guess I wasn't feeling the push for self compassion? Honestly, it seemed self indulgent to even be reading this. Which is probably an indicator that I need to read it.

I guess I need to be sad right now, so I'm re reading this one. Absolutely love this book

Space! Heist!

I read this right years ago and remember loving it. I wonder how it'll be this time?

Again! Again!

Okay let's do a re-read. It's been a while!

BEAR BEAR

I'm wondering if the printed book has any indication that the word "proprioception" should be pronounced differently from its standard English pronunciation.

Because that word shows up a lot in the book, and the narrator is weird about it.

This book is five years old yet so timely. I'm loving it

Time for a re read! I just ditched four separate books. I figured I should maybe just go read something I already liked.

I'm just not into it and I don't know why

Let's do a re read. I haven't read the second one yet, and I need a review!

Eh. I don't think I can finish this. You just can't have a girl in a Russian/Jewish fairy tale from a century ago say "okay." And no, that's not the only problem but the whole thing kinda just has that flavor. Eghck.

Y'know, I'm just not into stories told with a male gaze. Don't love it. There's already not enough time in one person's life to read all of the good books

Nah. Too much male gaze

I am really liking this! I ditched another R.F. Kuang book, being super not into it, but this one is really grabbing me ☺️

No. Very uncomfortable story to start the book, about non-consent and coercion.

Yeah I'm ditching at 50%

IDK how to describe why I love certain books I love without using a description that might also fit this book. But I'm not into this. It's just not grabbing me. Setting it aside for a bit to move on to the next one...
