i am so excited to read red comet by heather clark, the new biography on sylvia plath :trisha: 


i didn’t love it and put it down after 100 pages but maybe I should try again…I just wanted it to be better. Also tbh don’t need the close readings of plath’s childhood poems.

After weeks of searching for an immersive high fantasy book, I caved and just started Priory of the Orange Tree
 

fingers crossed that I’ll like it!


“…and this is all I looked for all my life – to be able to give of my love, my spontaneous joy, unreservedly, with no fear of…misuse, betrayal.”
Sylvia Plath

i just finished A Ballad Of Songbirds and Snakes and now i’m in my feels

The Hunger Games (books and movies) played a MASSIVE role when i was a teenager, with the movies coming out when i was in high school. it’s a series i hold near and dear to my heart, and i’m so sad to see it finally over.

I just finished A Little Life, I am distraught :defeated:


Can you recommend it? I hate the cover so much that I never bothered to read the back cover :bebe:

 

Rn I‘m reading „Vanishing New York- How a great city lost its soul“. Basically a big warning against hyper-gentrification.

Haha I know the cover threw me off for a while but I got over it eventually. I would recommended only to certain people. I thought it was incredible but it depends on what kind of books you tend to read, it is extremely upsetting and devastating. So if you read a lot and are fine with super heavy subject matter, then yes I definitely recommend but proceed with caution because it is definitely very sad and disturbing.

 

Vanishing New York looks interesting!

I will put it on my list! I read so many books last year that destroyed me. Song of Achilles. Flowers for Algernon. Alle, außer mir (I think this one hasn‘t been translated yet), The Story of the Lost Child. I think I can take one more :wowcry:

The only novel I've been reading for many years is The Count of Monte Cristo. I'm stuck somewhere in the middle and really only read when I'm sitting in the waiting room at the doctor's or something.


Can you even remember the storyline every time you start reading again? :hide:

my biggest problem is to remember the characters and what was in their mind in the last weeks or months :defeated: it's so demotivating, but I can't start reading another book before I've finished this 1500 page opus
