Danielle is 70% done with Act Your Age, Eve Brown (The Brown Sisters, #3)

I don't even know who or what recommended this book to me but whatever. It was somewhat interesting until I read a line that I should never have had to read even in the smuttiest of romances. No thank you.

Act Your Age, Eve Brown (The Brown Sisters, #3)

Danielle is finished with Cantoras

Have you really lived if you haven't gotten choked up on a train at 7.15am while reading about the everyday effects of the leftist victories of Uruguay's government in the early 2010s?

Danielle is finished with Last Night at the Telegraph Club

I feel like this could have used slightly less plot and slightly more yearning.

Danielle is finished with Close Range

Jake Gyllenhaal's whole speech at the climax of Brokeback Mountain hits different when you've read the original on paper.

Danielle is on page 181 of 352 of Greta & Valdin

When Greta said, "I don't really feel like anything these days, just a beautiful husk filled with opinions about globalism and a strong desire to go out for dinner", I... I felt that.

Danielle is on page 221 of 352 of Greta & Valdin

This book is sold out everywhere and honestly... she deserves it.
