I fucking love this movie and Keri Russell in it. Figured I’d give the book a go for my cozy Christmas reading.

“But when I see others walking with confidence down the sidewalk, as though they are free completely from terror, I realize I don’t know how others are. So much of life seems speculation.” - this is going to be good!

Victim blaming at its finest “it is partially your fault” (…) “if you didn’t smell so appallingly luscious, he might not have bothered”. lmaoooo this book is toxic as fuck

Pleased to find this little snippet of migraine support in the book: “the truth was I wanted to die right there on the stairs and have done with it. Are there people who have such headaches not just occasionally but frequently? If so, God help them.” We do, Mr. King. Thanks for your support!!

I’m back, bitches!!! Had a rough couple of months but trying to implement my healthy habits again. This novel though… I know Rooney is not going to give my tender, vulnerable heart the happy ending I deserve so I’m trying (and failing miserably) not to get too attached to these characters.

Manon is on page 12 of 471 of The Women
At this point I’m already very annoyed by the main character. She’s a naive, white, rich girl who needs a guy to tell her women can have dreams, too. Her naïveté annoys me IMMENSELY. The mindless war propaganda, too. But maybe that’s the point and now Frankie will enter the real world and grow up. Let’s see.

Loving it so far; the tension slowly building, Isabel’s character is just so very intriguing (I currently don’t have a better word for it), the setting..

Joining Reese’s Book Club this month by reading this (used to love Rowell’s YA novels when I was younger); so far I feel the characters have something tragic about them and I’m invested!

oops I started this one without planning to - after my disappointment with the first installment I didn’t think I was going to start this one, but I’m in a bit of a reading rut lately and this is, although being 800 pages, a fast read, which I really need. Also, book Jamie is getting better in terms of misogyny ;)

Manon is starting Stasiland: Stories from Behind the Berlin Wall
“I think about the feeling I’ve developed for the former German Democratic Republic (…) the romance comes from the dream of a better world the German Communists wanted to build out of the ashes of their Nazi past: from each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs. The horror comes from what they did in its name.”

This is yet another harrowing and haunting read by McDaniel. I have to put it down sometimes and think I might read it alongside something light

Ugh I’m not enjoying the dynamics between Belly and the guys at all. Also hating the way Belly, with her oversized t-shirts and ugly one-piece bathing suit, is juxtaposed against the girls who wear sundresses, tiny bikinis etc. (like Taylor). And of course this makes Belly “deep” and Taylor shallow and mean-ish. I see that this was written in 2009 which explains it a little but it’s very annoying to read.
