12 & 15!

12. did you enjoy any compulsory high school readings?

i read beloved by toni morrison senior year of high school which i thought was an extremely good book. also enjoyed cat’s cradle by kurt vonnegut. and my teacher did this thing where we always watched live performance or movie versions of plays so i enjoyed hamlet & the importance of being earnest but i watched those more than i read them really.

15. recommend and review a book

hmmm a book i really liked but don’t think i’ve mentioned on here is the seas by samantha hunt. really interesting look into the mind of a character who very strongly believes something that the reader very much knows is false (she thinks she’s a mermaid) and i love deep dives into self delusional narrators. also really enjoyed the general writing style. none of samantha hunt’s other novels/short stories have resonated with me at all but this one really stuck with me

my beautiful leah by pj harvey and temple by thao & the get down stay down

my beautiful leah:

couldn’t listen all the way through | not my thing | it’s okay | kinda catchy | ok i really like this | downloading immediately | already in my library

yet another reminder i need to actually get into pj harvey

temple:

couldn’t listen all the way through | not my thing | it’s okay | kinda catchy | ok i really like this | downloading immediately | already in my library

i feel like if i listen to this a couple more times i’ll be obsessed with it i just need to get used to it... not what i usually listen to especially vocals-wise but i like this!

in the dream house is so good

I'm so stoked to finally read it—I bought it back in march but it got lost in the shuffle of moving and I just haven't had the attention span for anything long recently so it's nice to read each chapter as its own thing
