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.

I’m currently halfway through Normal People and the hype is kind of not worth it. I do love Marianne though, she’s one of the very few YA protagonists that I genuinely connected with. The guy can choke, I can’t even remember his name.

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!

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.

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

 

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

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?

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

A romance with cocaine by m. Ageyev…

 

Very good book that makes you think & reflect on decisions and their consequences, Can’t really sum it up here.

Just read it!

I really wanna get more into mysteries/thrillers so I'm going to get the You books today and I wanna read through the Millinium series (Girl With The Dragon Tattoo)
