Whitney Atkinson
Whitney Atkinson is on page 117 of 352 of The End or Something Like That
I got this book in a book box package (unboxing coming soon!) and I intended to just read the first few pages but ended up reading a third of the book in one sitting. This reads like a novel in verse, it's so short and witty!

This book is pretty dry.. I mean, I already know that white college-aged bro dudes hate women, and this books is really monotonous.

Not very impressed by this so far. It's very political and slow.

I keep accidentally reading this instead of Empire of Storms but I can't resist a good audiobook and my scarf is coming along really nicely. So far I'm questioning if whether the added perspective in this is needed, but I finally figured out how to make my audiobook go to 2x speed so I'm not very much worrying about her anymore. Love me some Akiva!!

I'm loving this so far! Intense, but has some really great lines and I can see this ending in a really memorable way. I'm glad I only rented this so that I can go out and buy a non-movie cover :)

This book is magnificent and I can already tell it's going to make it into my favorites of the year. Extremely thought-provoking, important, and an inspiration for me to want to pick up other books like it. I looked up an interview with the author and she is SO intelligent and informed on LGBT and feminist issues, and I definitely will continue supporting her!

I dislike this writing style so much to the point that I don't know how i'm going to be able to write a 2 page paper about this.

Whitney Atkinson is on page 76 of 240 of Headscarves and Hymens: Why the Middle East Needs a Sexual Revolution
I'm contemplating a DNF on this one. I've been reading it for literally months and every time I pick it up, it's just so long-winded and it loses me. I like learning more about feminism in the Middle East and Egypt, but sometimes it feels like it's written for an audience that isn't supposed to include me. It gets very preachy, almost like a complaint letter to men. I'm not sure what message it's supposed to give off

So i'm at the point where I've started skipping Helene's chapters. And tbh I prefer Keenan over Elias. needless to say, i'm starting to get bored.

I finally uncovered what about this book made it so uncomfortable to read. The ARC is majorly unfinished, so a lot of crucial diagrams and explanations are missing. I feel like i'm missing a lot by reading this unfinished version, and i've never felt that by reading an ARC before. :/

Got bored reading Gemina so i'm gonna listen to this on audio then go back to the other one. I love this one! Tbh it's not impressing me as much as the first one did, though. The writing seems a lot simpler and the inner dialogue is sort of cheesy? Maybe it's because i'm listening to it rather than reading it but i'm definitely not getting the same 5 star vibes as book one :/

Pretty disappointed by this so far. I love Emma and her YouTube channel, but there's no plot to this so far and it's taking forever to read

I'm listening to this on audio and it's just making me remember how much I LOVED book one. These books are written SO amazingly and although I don't remember what happened in the first one (and still haven't bothered to look it up lol oops) this one has been really interesting so far!

Whitney Atkinson is on page 71 of 304 of Amelia Anne Is Dead and Gone
I was hooked when I read the prologue of this but now i'm actually so disappointed. This is boring. This is really angsty and I could care less about her shitty boyfriend drama, I just hope it'll move past this soon and get more gripping. Right now, i'm yawning, and it makes me disappointed because I LOVE kat rosenfield's storytelling and writing.

Whitney Atkinson is on page 25 of 107 of Of Mice and Men
I'm loving this so far! The writing is just great, but also I'm finding that I'm analyzing this in my head as if I was reading it for class, which normally I would despise and try not to do, but in this case it's very entertaining and it's keeping me incredibly focused on the characters and plot! I can't wait to continue, I think i'll love this :)
