"Craigslist is not a father-son bonding activity" good God is this a love, simon quote recycling i'm seeing here wth

reading this makes me feel old. like, that kind of out-of-touch old that is terrifying and seems made up when somebody talks about it. but i actually feel like a grumpy old lady reading about a high school breakup with ridiculous banter and little to no exposition or depth. going in, of course i knew who wrote this book, but this for sure ain't no "love, simon" kind of story to me.

not sure why i need to state this here, but i feel like i should say that i'm really really Really into this book wow

me, writing 4 papers and reading 2 books for class in one week: cc...a....nnnt..wait to rr...eead fran.mmkens..tein....

hheellloooo....'tis i, the girl who's finally reading one of the most famous works of literary fiction in history.....hello..,,,,,.

i know i've been whining about this since forever but i really wanna start vol.2 of zebulon finch but i also don't because i've got the exam month coming up soon that i gotta focus on and i Know i won't be able to do literally anything if i start this 700-page monster now

and the last one is a dnf because i just don't feel like it

"the inferno & the butterfly" got my hopes up but i feel like it would've been a better novel than a short story. this seems to be a pattern with this anthology huh

the idea of "three witches" would make a great novel, but a short story just made it shallow and confusing and not enough.

"the Emend of the world as we know it" was simply not good and there's nothing else to say about it.

"Walking After Midnight" was simply a sweet story with nice atmosphere. nothing to complain about, but that's about it, really.

this is such a weird story. i feel conflicted: i keep wondering why the hell am i reading this utterly confusing thing there are horses emerging from the ocean and kids racing to death and we're just rolling with it now i guess, but strangely i don't feel like putting it down even though there is around 83.5 books that i would like to finish before this year's end. stiefvater magic what are you doing to me explain

yeah so... that happened. also it'll probably be hanging out on my cr list for a long while bc i'm not, like, actively reading it, just checking in to add notes & calm down when i'm anxious in a cafeteria line, you feel

"the secret life of a teenage boy" is, like almost every other story in this book, meh. not enough. meh. okay. fine. it's. there. just there. exists with a historical decoration (which had so much potential and got me super excited when i saw the year 1969, but turned out to be a disappointing wasted opportunity). it could've been any other year for all i care. why would you even. i don't know, man. idk.

i've been stuck on 'the girl with the blue lantern' for weeks and i think it's time to let it go and admit that, unfortunately, i will have no words for it because i kept trying to be interested, but i simply wasn't. moving on!

im a dumbass but for some reason i was sure that michael was still alive lmao okay this kinda hit me here not gonna lie

yo this is so cliché and boring and unoriginal, i'm living my best life because my brain is dead from studying and this is exactly what i need
