another inadvertently-finished-this-at-6am :) no review of mine could do justice to this book

Mr Collins: thank FUCK I didn’t marry into this family, dodged a bullet! Am I right, head of aforementioned family? ;) dw I’m inclined to believe that your daughter is just naturally depraved, and it’s not entirely the result of your shitty parenting haha

the urge to annotate classics with memes that won’t age well is tremendous

don’t you fucking dare ahhhhh

I am *living* for the uproar about Dolly Parton being the greatest tennessean in the state’s history!! sit the fuck down, Jasper

inside me there are two wolves: one read absolutely nothing the whole of August, the other read 13 books in November and finished 11 of them :))

:)
‘I knew it wasn’t my home. And it wasn’t their home. But we would steal it. We had a whole summer to take this house and make it ours. And who could stop us? Jesus, we had fire!’

I absolutely LOVE Lillian as a mc and narrator and this is extremely sweet and fun! such a quick and easy read too, I’m glad I decided on it

never thought I’d be tearing up at the mention of ducks, pants and an address but here we are ig

"Mr. _____ start up from his seat. He look over at me. I thought you was finally happy,
he say. What wrong now?
You a lowdown dog is what’s wrong, I say. It’s time to leave you and enter into the Creation. And your dead body just the welcome mat I need.
Say what? he ast. Shock.
All round the table folkses mouths be dropping open"
MINE BE DROPPING OPEN TOO, MISS CELIE

feeling very *zach galifianakis card counting scene* trying to piece together everyone's genealogy while listening to the audiobook on x2 and following the physical copy

‘We know a roofleaf is not Jesus Christ, but in its own humble way, is it not God?’
this chapter/letter hit me like a ton of bricks

jan 2021: "This is the very first book that’s made me cry because of how happy I was reading it and that already says a lot :))"

nov 2021: *acting out lines while smiling and tearing up*

thinking back, I started 2021 with what was to be one of my favourite books of all time - so then what will I ‘end’ 2021 with? finding this at the library felt like a sign. I highly doubt that it will be my last read of the year, but I just feel the urge to return to Florin and Guilder :)

this is also the first time I’ve reread a book in less than a year so cheers, William Goldman!

at this point I’m just pushing through in an attempt to finish it by the end of the year, but the review has already written itself

‘Why can’t I control myself just enough to keep loving her? Just enough.’
:”|

listened to the audiobook before opening the book so I was already a couple progress reports in when I saw the way it’s written :) I’m assuming this book is going to destroy me emotionally soon enough, can’t wait :D

Dar eu afirm că nu există limită în timp, că trebuie mereu repetat acelaşi lucru, că trebuie readuse la suprafaţă toate lacrimile vărsate(...) Nu mă interesează nimic din aşa zisele “realizări”, îmi stăruie prea tare în nări mirosul camerelor de gazare, prea mult în memorie închisoarea, prea insistent în minte ignobila literatură care ştie ce trebuie să arate şi ce anume să ascundă.

gjsk reading chapters 15, 16 and 17 in public was a RIDE

god damn it :))) I went from ‘I really don’t think this type of chick lit is my scene’ to being unable to wipe the stupid grin off my face

good thing they cut Alice’s origin story from the movies and stripped Jasper of any hints of a personality, I don’t know how I could’ve managed without as much Bella ‘If She Was a Spice, She’d Be Flour’ Swan content!!!

NOO no ‘hold on tight, spider monkey’?!?😭

bella: my mind doesn’t work right? Im a freak?
Im a weirdo? I dont “fit in” and I dont *want* to fit in
