this book is also WEIRD AS HELL. positive.

this book is one billion years long

"you're always wanting answers to why i do the things i do, but when i give them, you cannot fathom it. is this my curse? to be unfathomable?"

do you ever just read a whole book and then at 67% of the way through the second book you realize the entire thing is fundamentally anti capitalism?? like the entire story is built to be a warning about late stage capitalism and greed?? just me?? haha

it's an absolutely captivating story and i am enjoying it a lot, but it's high stress and adding to my anxiety and i need a break 😭😭

this is what i wanted from rest is resistance. this is what i wanted from laziness does not exist. raaahhhhh. tbh, it's probably a wonderful accompanying work next to laziness does not exist.

idk how to censor it and the app isnt working

????? bitch
it's called LOOKING for alaska shes supposed to DISAPPEAR not fucking DIE what the FUCK im

super excited about this one. it was recommended to me YEARS ago, by a friend i knew briefly at summer camp. after it was recommended, i began seeing it all around social media as people besides my mystery-loving friend discovered it. then, a new friend, someone unrelated to the previous person, lended me this book and said "please read it, it's one of my favorites."

so here i am. i hope it's as good as they say.

will i ever finish this? uh, probably!

fixation book yayy

absolutely loving it. however, i think what price says about unhoused folks is a bit misguided. or, if not misguided, then very incomplete. it's not severe, i suppose, but it's not good either.

waahhhhhh (← boy who is on the verge of tears)

it's SO LONG (compared to other murderbot novels) and SO GOOD. it just keeps going on and on and the characters are phenomenal and im so invested in the story and... wooowww

i have started reading it again. i am very grateful and excited.

i'm also experiencing mixed feelings about the YA? these are highschoolers :0 such a WILD shift from hibbert's usual works (lots and lots of sex)

ocd representation :) yayyy

i am pages into this book. i can say with confidence i will be buying it to read over and over and over again. it is truly beautiful

it spoke of Elizabeth Barrett Browning, and now i feel compelled to read her "aurora leigh."

yeah so basically i had to give it back to the library before i finished 💀 haha oops. my bad u guys

(audiobook)
i tend to HATE anxious perspectives, and this book has a content warning at the front that says "undiagnosed anxiety disorder." at some point *already* i found myself doubled over because i was laughing so hard

impulsively bought and started reading. fucking massive guy. but it'll be important to me, im certain.

it is at moments like this i remember i am a business student, and that i LIKE being a business student. *i fucking love this book.* i love money so much. i love interacting with it, and thinking about it, and puzzling out what to do with it. i love budgeting. i love this book.

i started reading this AGES ago but the fantasy elements and unfamiliar words caused me to give up. after many of the artists i follow began drawing fanart of this series, i decided to give it another shot as an audiobook.

fingers crossed

i am NOT reading this fast enough and the library is about to TAKE HER AWAY.

did i accidentally pick up a horror/thriller. im literally scared. what's about to happen 😰
