every time i think i understand something i realize im really really lost

i have officially decided to start reading the 89374962 books i own on the physical bookshelf in my room and not just the 72438230 books i have checked out from the library next to my bed

i think im confused? idk where the plot is

<100 pgs lefttttttt
I?????? us????? omg the extent to which i do NOT care about alexander or napoleon

part 12>>>>
how can you write one of the most beautiful deaths ive ever read and then go straight back to ranting about the course of history and napoleon like shut UP

blah blah blah philosophy of history blah blah blah mob mentality blah blah blah more history philosophizing blah blah im just here for the DRAMA pls

agh MORE WAR????
julie & boris are the biggest pick mes ever
OMG KISSING
we officially > halfway through

- poor wolves and foxes and bunnies :(
- too many ppl named nikolay/i

there's a lot more war than peace in here .... >.>

also i like how we just started referring to the russian military as "ours"

i timed my life wrong and now can't read the 7th harry potter book till late december because it won't fit in my suitcase & im carrying war & peace onto the plane w me in my hand like the performative pick me i am :)
(only chose it bc it will def last me through december while harry potter... would not)

I FINALLY DID IT OMG
i finally completed my (non-goodreads) reading goal from last yearrrrrrrrrr my goal was to read minimum of 2ch/day for every day of the year
and at one point i was like 3 months behind but i rolled it over into this year AND TODAY I CAUGHT UP WITH TODAY OMG
now to just actually read 2ch/day every day this year so this doesn't happen again..

number one reason i like reading my mom's old books: finding things she used for bookmarks.
so far i've found:
• handwritten budget (1991)
• dry cleaning pick up slip (1991)
• caltrain/bart month-long fast pass (august 1990)

annotating it this time... writing in a book still feels like a sin

rereading this one bc i think i was just too young to get it at the grand old age of 11....

okay soooo im pretty sure i was just too immature when i read this the first time & was also reading it with the wrong people haha

giving this one a second chance (?)

attempt #2 of trying to get through this book lol. i gave up too easily last time i tried (i think.)

going from reading a minimum of 2 chapters a day to a minimum of 3 a day cause im a cool kid 😎

I WENT TO THE MOST INCREDIBLE LIBRARY TODAY AND I WANT TO READ ALL THE BOOKS IN THE WORLD BUT MY LIFE IS TOO SHORT TO DO THAT HELP
