THE GOLDFINCH BY DONNA TARTT. MASTERPIECE. MAINLY BECAUSE THE AMOUNT OF RESEARCH SHE PUTS INTO IT. I RESPECT THE F OUT OF HER FOR ONLY WRITING ONE BOOK A DECADE. SHE WRITES EVERYTHING IN LIBRARIES SO SHE CAN CONSTANTLY RESEARCH. SHE PUTS SO MUCH I TO EACH BOOM. I AM FROM MISSISSIPPI AND IT’S SHOCKING THAT SUCH A GOOD WRITER CAME FROM HERE. I’VE NEVER EVEN HEARD OF THE TOWN SHE IS FROM. SHE WAS DISCOVERED AS A PRODIGY BY WILLY MORRIS WHEN SHE WAS 17. HE READ HER FIRST ASSIGNMENT FOR A WRITING CLASS AND CONVINCED HER TO CHANGE COLLEGES. HE KNEW SHE WAS THE NEXT GREAT AMERICAN WRITER

The Goldfinch by donna tart
this book was life changing for me when i was 17, donna tart tells the story of a young theo decker after he survived a terrorist attack in the met which killed his mom and left him in possession of the titular goldfinch, tart manages to weave an almost fantastical story which somehow remains grounded in reality. theo is an unreliable narrator who exist almost outside of time, the prose is incredible the characters are unforgettable truly one of the most wonderful books ive ever read

sula by toni morrison
i’m stunned. Sula is an immediate icon to me… how have i never read this before? i love the way Toni writes, such smart and precise cutting of the fat. you can see this world she builds so easily and feel so much in just 160 pages. now THIS is a NOVEL!! i feel strongly that if i had read this in high school i would be sooo diff…. like damn they really had me read Old Man and the Sea instead …whatever i stopped reading this halfway thru on my Kindle to go buy a hard copy bc i knewww this was a book i needed to own. absolutely no notes I simply loved
