need to start reading this even though i'm still on vacation 💀

the beauty of books is how they indulge you in a world that consumes one's mind and make you feel like you're also traveling with the protagonist (and i get to live in a world different from mine)

how do i get out of my reading slump? 🥲

so far, the stories are very intriguing in the most disturbing and uncomfortable way

i just finished the infamous chapter 21. i need a deep cleansing in my mind, body, and soul. that was the worst, grotesque, and intricate scenes writing horrors of the genocide i've ever read in my entire life. at first, i felt so disturbed i was actually second guessing if i should continue reading, but at the back of my mind, i thought i could stomach to finish it through. i can't feel anything now

okay, altan is becoming an ass :/

nezha's redemption arc was SO PREDICTABLE LMAO & i don't really like the subtle romance like rin falling in love. maybe it will be relevant to the plot later on but idk

what the fuck did i just read? and why do i find the first story weirdly funny? how are some of the minor characters be so calm when the “mother” said there's a head in their toilet?

i'm scared of myself. i devoured almost half of the book today with no abandon. i couldn't stop reading HELP

most of the characters seem interesting. the history of nikan as well as the class in strategy are complex enough for my brain to short-circuit.

i love how amy slowly becomes the true gentlewoman she wanted to be <333

yey part two

when they're talking about their castles then laurie said “I’ll let my castle go, and stay with the dear old gentleman while he needs me, for I am all he has.” ????? HE'S SO PRECIOUS

btw this book is longer than i thought oh my god

the way the author writes the story is so descriptive and vivid that it feels like i'm really with the march's sisters. i'm engrossed

everything charlie says sends me squealing

reading this because i feel like i'm missing out so much contemporary romance books (and to remedy the void the stranger left in me)

mersault's intrusive thoughts win and just shot a person to death omfg

what was camus cooking, i wonder

if pride and prejudice was assigned in one of my class, i would've enjoyed analyzing it. but i read it with the intention of reading it for fun, so i'm quite disappointed how boring it actually is. tho it's getting interesting on this late part of the novel 🥹

whenever i read this i get drowsy :/

mr. darcy is so annoying and prideful that he gets mad when rejected when all he did was confess in an aggravating and condescending way

is it called pride and prejudice because those are the hindrances of mr. darcy and lizzy towards each other?

that primogeniture system is so sexist i just hope the bennet's sister will be truly taken care of

i just now realized: that is the reason why mrs. bennet is adamant on marrying of her daughters

finally have the resolve to read this

a whole paragraph of nick describing gatsby's rare smile i'm sold

i thought gatsby would be the narrator i guessed wrong
