"May Beth always told me I can’t do that; I can’t hate people for having more than me, but she’s wrong. I can. I do. It’s the perfect wall between myself and the kind of longing that poisons your guts and turns your insides right out."

"I wish this was a love story because I know how it goes in one like mine, where the only moments of reprieve are the spaces between its lines. But here’s the thing I tell myself to dull the sharp edges of everything that’s surely left to come: The worst has already happened."

so far, not much i don't already know

um dia eu chego lá

she's going on about how her bestie is the ✨best✨ and im like bitch where, your girl couldn't even bring herself to help you when you were losing bad in a fight

morta com a velha controlando o macho burro

my honest reaction

virou uma farofa

"eu tenho medo delo, e é por isso que eu sei quem ele é."

a man named nik nik and another called mr. cheeks are my favorite characters

oh (ironically), do i love when a main character who's always had everything and everyone against them decides to play the dumb hero in favor of the exact same people who wrong them, causing their true friends and allies to suffer instead

girl, did you leave your entire personality and life history behind on earth 175, you can't possibly believe the super rich are worth the risk

im impressed: it took ten chapters for the author to start taking me for an idiot. but no living ruler would do that, miss Johnson, be serious. a solid prose can't carry a weak plot for long.

crentes sendo inúteis em tds os universos

now, This is what i wanted from a book about the multiverse. take notes, blake crouch.

I've read only one book about parallel worlds before and I could totally see the first twist coming 😭

"why the hell does he want me naked?" it must be good not being a woman

was definitely not expecting the gay vibes i got from the first story

now im determined, i swear

was watching TLoU and remembered I had an apocalypse book on my romance tbr. it's literally ep3 but ya, and instead of a grumpy-sunshine couple there's a shy-outgoing type of duo? and no zombies, just a new covid. the writing's solid for a debut, but the setup seems a little too easy. and unfortunately I do have a thing called job, so maybe I shouldn't focus on finishing both the book and the show this week anyway.

"não há dificuldade nem perigo na afirmação de que os 'mil eruditos profundos' podem de fato ter fracassado, em primeiro lugar por serem eruditos; em segundo lugar, por serem profundos; e, em terceiro lugar, por serem mil — a impotência da erudição e da profundidade tendo, dessarte, sido multiplicada por mil" LoL

"originalidade não é em absoluto, ao contrário do que imaginam alguns, uma questão de impulso ou intuição. via de regra, para ser encontrada é preciso empreender uma busca complexa, e embora seja um mérito positivo da mais alta categoria, ela requer, para ser atingida, menos invenção do que negação"

não ele mandando um cause true beauty is a true sadness now you can feel my madness

"se uma obra literária é longa demais para ser lida numa única sentada, somos obrigados a abrir mão do efeito, cuja importância é imensa" my thoughts exactly poe

queria que toda edição de qualquer livro de poemas fosse assim

mt surpresa com esse livro, pois tinha abandonado o outro do autor, tb no famigerado ku. como não é curto, minha teoria é que fica ruim do meio pro final. porém vou seguir achando curioso a escolha de publicar três dias antes do primeiro jogo do brasil na copa já atestando a perda do hexa. acho bom o protagonista ganhar a de 2026, pq haja mau agouro.

pov de criança top melhores coisas pra ler e piores pra escrever
