Listening to this one on audio, Baldree is quite good at voices :)

Things are… escalating. They’re ascending, they’re… shall I say flying?

For a book with effectively no plot, this is compulsively readable

Ah yes, fuck that plane

Fourth story: the writing alone had me in hysterics

Third story: the most hilariously uncomfortable I have ever felt. I should not have read this at school

The second story was not as good as number 1, but still succeeded in making me extremely uncomfortable

Hey man that first story?!? What the fuck was that ending omg?!?

The translation here is so hard to read at times, and this is not adding anything to the conversation (yet?)

Quite literally so badly written, but I’m eating it up what can I say

Hey man what the heck is this (and why do I love it)

If she doesn’t boink the printer I will lose it

That Alex chapter HURT. And if anything happens to Orly I’m actually gonna burn this book

The quiet melancholy is chilling

Am I reading two other books right now? Yes. But I needed an audiobook for my drive. The first 5% was so fricking boring and now I’m obsessed

This is getting more lit-fic/historical than I was expecting, but it’s still fantastic

I can’t believe I got an early copy of this from the publisher! I’ve obsessed, it’s so good

I would lay down my life for Jill

This is really fascinating and making connections I had not previously thought of. Would love more feminist theory interwoven (haha get it?)

The only romance (adjacent) book I can focus on right now

Omg this reads like a movie

The writing is just superb

Same problems as book 1 but maybe a more interesting premise?

Ok I can get with this, I actually have no clue how this is gonna end

Maybe a little too quirky ?

Am I… enjoying an extreme horror book?!

Hey guys, I think Octavia Butler is the best writer we’ve ever had
