end stretch n it’s completely lost me :(

i’m so lost

‘i keep thinking about all the kids who got wiped out by seventeen years of war movies before coming to vietnam to get wiped out for good’

i gotta finish reading this to keira in two days wish me luck (also have been avoiding doing a southern accent for the characters cause she doesn't like it :/ what a loss)

reading this to kiera and my voice is hoarse all over and is it lame to say i kinda wish i was an older sister because i would've read 1000 books to my siblings like this... and is it even lamer to admit that i can't wait to be a mom so i do get the chance... oh brother... being sentimental as hell on goodreads... i gotta get a job

[…] they'd be a few feet away but they'd be looking back at you over a distance you knew you'd never really cross’

reading this out loud to a sleepy kiera for the next few weeks (takes 12 years but also! so lovely!)

yeah this is fucking weird as shit

probs one of the best books i’ve read that touches upon a lot of the threads of memory studies in a way that’s actually universally digestible! hell yeah!

this book makes me feel alive idk

yippeeeee

loveeee how some of the horror is social issues that’s so fucking smart

mary you crack open the rooms of my heart like a walnut shell

mary you crack open the rooms of my heart like a walnut shell

round… 7? 6? (it’s january again)

super intense and hard to read but i think im gonna do my summative essay on this !

it was around then that i realised for the first time that falling in love is like being haunted
