this was supposed to just keep me going for a night as i only had my kindle (i share a kindle account with my mum so i get all the books she’s bought on it and this was one) and was going to my mums the next day where the book i was going to read next was but the 10 pages i read hooked me a bit so i’m just reading this one and i’m quite enjoying it!
i recommend jessie burtons other book the miniaturist which is also really good
i’m on 3/15 for my 2025 reading goal but i’ll probably slow down soon as this books a bit longer than the others i’ve read this year

i have about 50 pages left and it really is probably the best book I’ve ever read (which isn’t a lot but hopefully will be a more consistent hobby from now on) it’s just so fun even though what’s happening is so disturbing and it’s the kind of book where it’s 2am and I’m reading and get to the end of a chapter but have to read the next one because its so engaging

I bought a book that caught my eye from a bookstore in Boston either as a high schooler or college student. As a busy, unmotivated ex-reader, I could barely get past the first 10 pages.
For at least four years but probably more, I’ve picked up and read the first few pages a few times. It’s come with me to every apartment and most vacations.
I read some books for pleasure last year, the first since middle school, and felt like a baddie. Then I started a meh book and fell off the reading train.
I brought this new book on a trip this weekend and started it over yesterday. It is so good. I just finished it. I knew it was worth taking everywhere. Am very proud of myself :,)

there’s something so funny about seeing a friend before they notice you cause it’s like a look into what they’re like alone
seeing how they walk when they’re by themselves or their expression when they’re just going about or looking around

discovered this song after it came on in the credits for the film the outrun and it’s literally so good
the start literally hooks you with the crazy cool and unique accordion
then the rest of the song is also amazing i love the bittersweet feel of it with the line ‘this is the day your life will surely change’ that most people can relate to when you swear to yourself you’ll break your bad habits to make a better life for yourself, deciding that THIS will be the day youll change but you could say that any day again and again and never actually do anything to change or stick with it
