hello friends! I was tagged by @the.openbook to do

hello friends! I was tagged by @the.openbook to do the #bookslikefriendstag so here we go 💞

BFF (a book you couldn’t live without): White Nights by Fyodor Dostoevsky! the story and the protagonist in this one really spoke to me and the ideas Dostoevsky presented I resonated with so so much.

EMOTIONAL (a book that made you cry): A Little Life by Hanya Yanagihara. when I first read this there were tears. there was ugly crying. sleep deprivation. everything you could possibly imagine 😂

DRUNK (a book you don’t remember): literally every YA fiction I ever read when I was a teen haha

SMARTEST (a good non-fiction book): The Mother of All Questions by Rebecca Solnit. always a personal non-fiction fav!

WILD (a book that’s unpredictable): Atonement by Ian McEwan! I wasn’t expecting that twist 🤪

I have tagged a few friends in the photo in case you’re interested in doing the tag as well 💛

Currently rereading The Handmaid’s Tale by Marga

Currently rereading The Handmaid’s Tale by Margaret Atwood. I’m glad I decided to revisit this book albeit it being an unsettling story in all ways — I mean, what an eerily appropriate read for the times we’re in. Definitely recommend in case you haven’t read it yet! x

Franny’s delirious typographical errors and mood swings are what I live for 🤪

Recently finished both of these. They’re not exactly favorites but I’m just glad they’re off my back 😅 Right now I’m currently rereading The Handmaid’s Tale and really appreciating it the second time around. I haven’t seen the series adaptation yet but I’m looking forward to it... actually you know what who am I kidding I’m just excited to see Alexis Bledel in it 🤣

Happy Tuesday! x

HA. Damn. Finished this one tonight! Finally!! Too

HA. Damn. Finished this one tonight! Finally!! Took me long enough. I have decided to give it a 3.25 star-rating (I know it’s very complicated and I have really mixed feelings right now). There’s so so much to unpack (both the good stuff and the bad stuff) and I don’t even know if I’m adequate enough to write a review on this book – but HEY kindly swipe till the end to see how I generally feel now that I’ve finally finished it. I think that pretty much sums it up! Awesome.

But, on a more serious note – I really admire how this book successfully encapsulated the Latin American identity, and how it explored issues of rebellion, power, and political violence in the region’s troubled history. I highly respect it for that. I also think that the sense of enjoyment in this book begins not at face value, but only when you start studying its metaphorical aspects, and it might take us one hundred years if we start doing that right now haha (see what I did there...). Still, there’s so much of it to appreciate in this novel.

PS. My biggest takeaway: magical realism really isn’t my cup of tea, no matter how many times I try to give myself a chance to attempt to like it 😂 Anyway, I’m just glad it’s over.
