Had a nightmare about the world ending via plate tectonics last night, may be related to rereading the book about the world ending via plate tectonics. who’s to say

Good book

got a cat instead of reading a lot today

wasn’t sure if I’d totally understand the commentary going on here but I looove this. such brilliant writing.

for the first time in almost three years… I’ve found it easy to concentrate on books again. not to sound sappy but I really can’t explain how much I missed just being able to fall into new books without effort. here’s hoping for a great year!

this is actually slaying a bit I think the thematics of blood drinking are so compelling

love love love Nona!! Love love love not being in a reading slump! Aah!

I have just read all of this in one sitting. In other words, I love this.

this book loves to get more messed up every ten pages

Hi, just so we're all clear: I and this platform are pro-choice. I do not support forced pregnancy. I do not support the use of politicized judiciary to do away with rights previously granted to the American people. And I believe that the rights of human beings over their own bodies should outweigh the rights of states.

I want to say I’ve already read another hundred or so pages of short stories in this one, so hopefully the rest will be faster? Hopefully? MAYBE?

I am having a GREAT time with this one.

my girlfriend and I have been listening to this as our road trip audiobook and it is creepy as HELL to listen to. A fun time but creepy as hell.

I am fighting for my life trying to get through this book

I’m really not sure I buy that some people are just biologically narcissistic, and everyone else is just biologically different. “You are biologically different; you have been blessed with the ability to feel shame and guilt” strikes me as a take meant to exempt the reader from having to critically think about our *own* behavior [I don’t meant to those with narcissistic traits, I mean to loved ones].

Lovisa makes me crazy actually

compelling!!

god. I always forget just how compelling this book is

tana french you will always be famous

this is so SO good

I missed the six of crows characters so much🥺

spent so long feeling normal about this novel and now I feel absolutely insane all of a sudden

OOP

obsessed with lavender marriage drama being a major plot point in this book

…yeah I don’t love this writing choice

gay as hell to possess a woman I mean why do you want to be inside of another woman so bad
