I have no clue what’s going on but I don’t need to because this is all some French and English literature stuff that has nothing to do with me

Thinking about how our local DSA made a book club for this a few years back and how they probably regretted it so much when they realized that after the introduction it’s niche literary analysis 😭

He’s pissing me off because 1) why do you name a book “The Caucasus: An Introduction” and then only talk about the South Caucasus. 2) I usually don’t have beef with journalists, but also you can tell this book is written by a journalist and not a historian because *gestures at everything*. 3) This book is way too popular press (light shade) for a prelim list but this is my grave and now I must lie in it.

Wanted to read more yday but i was nodding off

Clocked in to a scary degree

Finally started prelim exam reading 🫡 I’ll probably start updating goodreads daily as a form of accountability/measure of progress because jfc I need to get it together. This is a warning 😂

Working through this one slowly because it’s dense and genuinely horrific

Ngl I’m not very impressed with this so far

I find war rugs to be one of the most fascinating things i have ever seen

This book is veryyyy dense but I feel like I’m learning so much.

Revisiting a classic from elementary school

Reading for a biweekly book club so my progress will probably be slow

I listened to almost 4 hours of this audiobook while i cross stitched today. It was that serious.

Give me an audiobook about birds and i am SAT.

Something about an audiobook of a bird-focused book makes me lock IN

Planning to read the books about music on my tbr in chronological order of the music/genre they discuss

Divas i clocked in

Still need to finish a book for a final paper but nope, I spent 2 hours reading this bird book today

Third time reading this book, this time it’s for a book club

I can already tell I don’t like this whaaaaaa
