Even on a reread Aaron Blackford can make me weep

Not me crying while rereading this

An unoriginal experience, but now I really want to learn how to play chess.

First of all, Juan Sempere!
Second of all, what happened to Vargas could’ve been avoidable. I’m baffled that he didn’t clock Rovira after asking Lenares about him.

“He was gripped by what he could think of only as a numbness, though he knew it was a feeling compounded of emotions so deep and intense that they could not be acknowledged because they could not be lived with.”

I kept going between “This is killing me” and “I’m numb.”

I genuinely don’t know what he could’ve done better. It just keeps getting worse. No wonder he’s a dissociative queen.

Had to stop reading because the whole Walker-Lomax thing is making my blood boil.

Divorce babe, divorce.

“Sometimes, immersed in his books, there would come to him the awareness of all that he did not know, of all that he had not read; and the serenity for which he labored was shattered as he realized how little time he had in life to read so much, to learn what he had to know.”

“He became conscious of himself in a way that he had not done before. Sometimes he looked at himself in the mirror, at the long face with its thatch of dry brown hair, and touched his sharp cheekbones; he saw the thin wrists that protruded inches out of his coat sleeves; and he wondered if he appeared as ludicrous to others as he did to himself.”

Read As You Like It and loved the part where Rosalind and Celia enter the forest in disguise; I’m all in for girlies on an adventure. As for The Two Gentlemen of Verona, I didn’t really care for it. And Proteus did not deserve a happy ending. Julia STAND UP!

I’m already attached to him and it scares me. I can tell this book is going to destroy me.

Loved Much Ado About Nothing, enemies to lovers trope hits every time.

I’d anticipated a certain scene so much that I fell into a reading slump (talk about attachment issues mixed with post-Ramadan depression).
