to be honest, i felt a little uncomfortable while reading it, but i also think about it a lot now and i actually really enjoyed it! the journey that tsukuru tazaki goes on and the differences between his life and the lives of his friends is so interesting to me. uncovering that mystery as he goes & figuring out just what happened for them to have left him??? i couldn’t put it down!!
i think it’s not for everyone though. a lot of murakami’s works are like that to be honest, and like i said it made me go “eugh…” a little too… but if someone asks me for one of my favorite books i think i’ll continue to tell them it’s this, just because of how much the story’s stuck with me!!

such a good book. really made me think about the way i engage with food and the way i exist in the world and reevaluate those things. if you go into it wanting a horror novel you'll probably be disappointed, and it is on the slower side, but (like the food in the book) if you take the time to savor and enjoy it it's a really powerful experience

they were on SALE !!!! how lucky is that !!! ◝(ᵔᗜᵔ)◜ it felt like a sign from above… the universe telling me 2day will be GREAT !!!!! so naturally i got 1 choco and 1 strawberry (the best flavors (•̀ᴗ•́ )و)
