(listening along with the audiobook!)

starting this to get out of my reading slump and immediately stopping at the second chapter because i was already getting emotional... yeah this book's gonna beat my ass

i have grown so fond of this group of guys... they make me so emotional 😭🫶

"joe louis would reign as heavyweight champion of the world from 1937 to 1949, long after joseph goebbel's charred body had been discovered pulled out of the smoldering rubble of the reich chancellery in berlin..." 🔥🔥🔥

god i am devouring this book... brown's writing is so captivating that i genuinely cannot keep the book down! i woke up this morning going "i need to read more" 😭

bought the audiobook for this and it has really helped me keep my attention focused!!

i might become an audiobook girlie 🫣 because i really enjoyed listening to the audiobook while reading along!

chapter 2 was SO sad to read about oh my god... they went through so much as trainees and in their first 2 years of debut 😭❤️‍🩹

"their preparations led up to a debut with a small happy ending." 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

the shit pre-debut and debut bangtan had to deal with is making me so emotional... all these young teenagers (jungkook being 15!!) living in a dorm by themselves, working 14 hours a day in the practice rooms and going to bed at 6am, all being on strict diets to be able to show off their abs for a music video... 🥲 idols should never have had to deal with this back then and even now!!

yoongi did WHAT? HE DID WHAT WITH THE CHICKEN BREASTS????? 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

wanted to start this before going to bed and already... 🥲 just getting this little look into predebut bts is soooo fun & interesting! but there was one little part during jungkook's introduction that made me feel so gross, like why. WHYYYY were producers asking 13 year old jungkook back to their *HOTEL ROOM* to film his singing. hm? HM?? (rhetorical question, i think i know why & it's just disgusting)

had to clear my currently reading tab because it was stressing me out and i was Not Vibing with those books (they weren't bad, i just couldn't get through them!!) at the moment so i will be using the bts book to get me out of my reading slump 💜 (it's about to be emotional up in here... just an fyi...) (also had no idea i could do this! fun!!)

"remember who i am, remember my magic and my might. remember also that my brother has always been the weaker one." hun-kamé i love u

casiopea lives in martín's head RENT FREE❗️god he is such a loser

i always forget that i don't have to read one book at a time. i can literally read two and it doesn't matter 😭

also i can already feel this is gonna be a favorite of mine...
