What started off as a Middlesex-esque family chronicle has produced some extremely sad, extremely poetic scenes in the last hundred pages that I’ve read. Wow.

The world of Strange the Dreamer is so RICH. It’s taken me ages to get through because I want to savor this sumptuous feeling as I read. Now that the band of misfit travelers has set up camp in Weep, I have a feeling things are about to speed up.

Fuck me upppp, as per usual, Madeline Miller. This is addicting.

I’m still loving this series! Even though it’s taken 350 pages to get to the magical tournament mentioned in the very beginning, I haven’t been bored once. I’m actually a bit anxious about finishing because I’ll have to wait until the last book is available at the library, haha.

This book features a mental health subject that is really sensitive to some people, and let’s just say that my fear of needles and blood extends to this type of... body horror as well. Not sure I would have picked this one up had I known beforehand, but we’ll see if it’s a persistent theme.

Considering I’m completed disgusted and terrified of the concept of zombies I should stop reading books about them, but here we are. I like how this novel focuses on the psychology and human relationships of a post-apocalyptic zombie-infested world, though. Too much gore and I would have bowed the fuck out. Knock on wood.

Think I’m stopping here. I am equally clueless as to what’s happening in this book, and equally not caring about what’s happening in this book. Ay yi yi...

This book is charming. It has the best cast of characters I’ve met in a book in a longgggg time. And Casey’s pals are supposed to be visiting! Wonder what that’s going to detail... Poor Gus... 😂

This feels like a lot of rising action... but when will we find out the identify of “Evan”... and what’s up with all the Troys? The mysteries continue...

Based off reviews of this book I was expecting an unlikeable narrator... but I’m still surprised by how much I really don’t care about Jazz. I’m in this for the world-building!

It’s been a good five years since I’ve read this classic, and the need to start the Netflix series is heavy. Time for a refresher!

It’s been a while since I’ve read this one, and since the film is coming out soonish, I thought I’d give it another spin. I can’t remember liking it all that much the first time around, but I’ve got the second installment now as well, so we’ll see...

“Inspired by Muse” seems like a bit of an understatement, haha. I’ve barely even started and I’m hoping this isn’t a silly self-insert. I’m going to give it fifty pages. We’ll see.

This one is a tad slow-going because I don't really care what happens at this point? I'll stick it out, but man, I'm having a hard time keeping invested.

Ohhhhh man, things have gotten so twisted and gross and I LOVE IT, haha.

A weeeeeeird book. I'm starting to associate all Japanese writers with the surname Murakami with weird sex things.
