reread for bookclub, here we comeeee

on every reddit thread i can find to see who bought the film rights to this book… GUYS

yayyyy thanksgiving break = back to my favorite series

GUYS

this as an audio book read by her thus far is so eire

i’m locked in. but i gotta be honest, i’m kinda freaked out. so fa the scary parts aren’t the scary part, but the way the author depicts the realities of grief during covid-19 has me literally shaking. perhaps too soon. perhaps just a masterful erie set up.

i keep thinking it’s gunna get better🫠

i’ve never been more frustrated in my whole life

blogs and email chains and 9/11 references abound. i’m locked in, but keep giggling at how much of a period piece feel it has now that both Julie and Julia are set in time’s past.

finally reading this one after all these years. hardest read i’ve ever tried to get through emotionally.

listening to this in audiobook form has me crying on my commute. all my years using lorde’s work and reading those who came after her, nothing is like reading these essays in context together.

never have i locked in like this in my life

ugh it’s everything i wanted it to be!!!!

to hear this story in such a concise way when my own life mirrored hers so deeply in my youth and early adulthood is draining. i cannot imagine how long it took to write this and how difficult it was for her. especially in the ways this book differs from jinger’s. the naming of cost when so many of us still hold her public pain so closely to our own grief while we navigate a post iblp cannot have been easy.
