I am really liking these little vignettes of everyday Irish life. So far, “The Sisters”, “Eveline” and “After The Race” are my favorites.

Sally Rooney makes me care so much about the smallest things about these so called normal people when they honestly make terrible decisions and cannot communicate.

This is a very fast and engaging book when I get into it. I first thought it was surface-level but now I am very invested

Middling thoughts— not really super enjoying all the changes in style from one voice to another. And I like interconnected narratives!! Its just there’s not enough really holding them together. My favorite parts so far art the future parts

I love angst, vignettes, and a good romantic yearning triangle interspersed with an obsession with Shakespeare.

I’ve probably spent like 5 hours on a bus today and the sheer amount of writing I’ve spewed out on my phone is crazy. Go check out my substack?

THIS BOOK IS BECOMING MORE AND MORE WILD and I find like Robin, I am cheering for the demise of the British Empire, for violence, for burning. I can’t help but feel as if I am being misled to hate for much the same reasons I was misled to love the past. A masterwork in storytelling and history and fantasy.

Why does every book I’m reading right now have a group of obsessive scholars trying to hide a body. Not that common of a plot, and it’s weird that it’s happened twice

There’s this one part where Oliver says “I need words to live…” and I actually relate to it but then I remember 1.) Oliver is deranged 2.) Holy shit that was incredibly pretentious.

Also this book’s going just great so far

SO much fizzling conflict and meaning. R.F Kuang is genuinely a genius for inventing a fantasy world so similar and mirroring our own prejudices. But oh man is this a long one lol. I have so much further to go.

Omg this is so interesting- esp when I am living in a foreign country for the next week or so and I have a lot of language on my mind. The way that this translation and magic system works hand in hand with the iron-fisted colonialism of the British Empire. Cool, fascinating, victorian beans

I used to hate a multiverse plot but I love love this. The deep complexity in the plot warning of the dangers of prejudice, anger, gentrification and so many 21st century issues through compelling and funny urban fantasy. Next time I’m in NYC, I’ll appreciate it more
