Getting epicé. “You must understand how the metal sings.” My friend Grace really enjoys metal bands and I wonder if this is another reason she told me this is her favorite book. Is this a way I can get to know her better? Understanding how silver regales me with chorus?

I can’t seem to pronounce the word harrowing with confidence but the meter is still 0% in this book but perhaps my own anxiety I try to not let run my life blowing anticipatory fear up my noggin with this book. Book good tho

WE HEATIN UP AND NOT IN A SMUTTY WAY LIKE ALL MY OTHER RECENT BOOKS (uh well minus secret garden omg)

There’s something comfy about the author’s writing about the day to day of life for Robin and Rami when she’s not writing about the racism.

“Everything they said was instant agreement or cause for fascinating debate.” I C U GRACE

This ain’t why she told me this book it’s because she’s Dr. Grace the linguistics nerd who is rad and I asked her about her favorite book, but I feel seen

“They talked and talked…” like my friend that wanted me to read this book and myself. Just me and a girl that gets me. Let’s hope Rami and Grace keep this up!!

“For a country that profited so well trading in spices, its citizens were violently adverse to actually using them.”
I know understand the subtitle of this book - can’t wait to see how to destroy with flavors and words.
Cholera counter still 1
Might be more for the white people if they add spices to food!

I was gonna do an imperialistic racism counter but that be excessive, similar to how excessively refrained white people are at seasoning their food. I would say do you need ice for that burn but there’s probably no burn because there’s no spice because I’m also white :,(
Cholera counter: 1, of the asiatic variety
Mood: curious not sad yet

Ugh I told my friend I would read her favorite book and now I’m like okay okay hold onto ur butt cmack it’s a book that’s not wlw romance but you asked for this so follow through and don’t shy away from it being possibly harrowing
