Jir belom-belom udah ada tulisan seksis anjir, nyesel beli

Sepertinya halfway(?) dan mau ngasih remark aja, saya suka banget sama perkembangan karakteenya klara 🥹

Nvm DTF too triggering

Page 21 only and things already full of sexual tension????

Do you guys also think that the aliens are evolved tardigrades?

Cukup "segar" baca sci-fi yang enggak berporos di kehidupan warga kulit putih wkwk blud in china hated english so bad, pada kirim pesannya pakai mandarin dan esperanto(!)

Just want to note: DOPE TRANSLATION (trisurya, pralaya, belantara)

hopefully not too dumb to understand this fingers crossed

Finally some historical explanation!
It's been a slow read since it seems like there's no progress (the place is weird any mysterious! The sea swallows people, and more weied things--no rotten corpse etc etc)

*skipped let the old dreams die as I want to re-read Let The Right One In.

To Hold You While The Music Plays: 3/5
Seems like abstract work of Poe (unreliable narrator) and might need more imagination.

My interpretation is when your spouse joined a cult and this is what they would tell you.

Eternal/Love.

A bit mixed feeling, this is really long (or feels long?) but I love the description in the beginning about two people in love, it's not necessarily about future, or let go of past, it's about "want to stay like this forever". But then of course the comes next (pregnancy, your husband's weird new friend, old gods)

Might give it a 4/5, but there are a lot of unecessary edging.

Subtitute: 4.5/5

Giving 1 extra star because this is probably the funniest story so far. Involves juvenile delinquency, a teacher singing The Wall by Pink Floyd (!!!), "what a life for a fourteen years old"

Anyway a lot of element of surprise, you don't know where the story is going as you turn the page. My second favorite I guess after Border (so far)

You can't see it! It doesn't exist! (Also known as Itsy Bitsy)

2/5. Damn. It took so long to finish, the pace was too slow, the story is quite cliche (what you see on photos and reality is different). Might my attention span, or because it's working day already. But anyway, not his strongest.

Equinox: 4.5/5
I don't understand the ending. BUT the build up was so good 😭 utterly terrified in some parts. Shame, guilt, fear, bajingan lah pokoknya.

Village on thr Hill: Might want to explore the idea of claustrophobia, delilusion... but 2.5/5
Appatently hit or miss indeed, couldn't care less to the character (bitter middle aged man) and it was so flat 😬

Finished first story: Border.
4.5/5 idk who are Tina and Vore, troll(?) Never been said explicitly, but there's MPREG; touching scene when they hid together during thunderstorm. Kicking blanket >_<

Banyak blurb, tapi deskripsinya soal infeksi saluran kemih on point banget 😬

Halo lagi novel romantis menye. Baca judulnya aja udah pengen matik :"

Sometimes we panic, because the bills need paying and we have to be grown-up and we don’t know how, because it’s so horribly, desperately easy to fail at being grown-up.

(only page 4 and in love with this instantly)

"Dan di dunia ini, manusia bukan berduyun-duyun lahir di dunia dan berduyun-duyun pula kembali pulang... seperti dunia dalam pasarmalam. Seorang-seorang mereka datang... dan pergi. Dan yang belum pergi dengan cemas-cemas menunggu saat nyawanya terbang entah ke mana"

Do not judge all you see, do not believe all you hear, do not do all you can, do not say all you know, let no one know what you have in your heart or in your wallet.

Does social cohesion generate trust because it brings people together in a shared goal of interest or is it a precondition for people gathering in the same place?

Fiction has enabled us not merely to imagine things, but to do so collectively.
We can weave common myths such as the biblical creation story, the Dreamtime
myths of Aboriginal Australians, and the nationalist myths of modern states. Such
myths give Sapiens the unprecedented ability to cooperate in large
numbers.

We declare that personal freedom and autonomy is both a right and good, but we think anyone who exercises that freedom autonomously is 'sad, mad or bad'

How can you mend a broken heart?
Read this book.
