My Booklr

Decided to review and talk about books. I have a bookstagram: @freshbatchofbooks

Abolish the YA genre. No more books for young adults. At some point in your adolescence, you just go from reading Goodnight Moon to War and Peace. No more stepping stone in the middle. Grow the fuck up.

Finished two books this week. Normal People, which might not be my favorite Rooney book, but I’m kinda excited to finally watch the show.

Alive at the End of the World was given to me by an (ex) coworker. We bonded over our love of poetry, and Saeed Jones is local to her, so she got this at one of his book signings!

Cloud Cuckoo Land has permanently altered my brain chemistry

[freshbatchofbooks]

Finished my first book of 2023! Like any mystery novel, I thought I since the mystery halfway thru, then I was humbled when I was 100% wrong on my guess/theories

Giving it a 5/5

She always made sure the bad was outweighed by so much good. I… Well, I didn’t do that for her. I made it fifty-fifty. Which is about the cruelest thing you can do to someone you love, give them just enough good to make them stick through a hell of a lot of bad.

Looking for help on this one!

My sister and I were at my grandma’s and we found this edition of Gulliver’s Travels. There’s no information on when this version was published. It’s the Excelsior Edition of Standard Fiction.

If you need anymore info, please let me know!

I miss English class actually

[kitsnicket]

I want to read a book with an entire class and participate in teacher-led discussions and write an essay analyzing said book. “Just join a book club!!” It is not the same

[kitsnicket]

Half the fun of high school English class is the people who usually never read getting super invested in whatever book they’re being forced into reading. They always had the funniest comments

[kitsnicket]

Book clubs aren’t the same because everyone is there willingly

Reading The Red Dragon and when Dolarhyde at a priceless watercolor painting at the Brooklyn Museum is peak comedy. I feel like it was the inspiration behind “is it illegal to buy and eat the Mona Lisa?”
