Catch up & recent reads 📖 Beautiful World Where Are You by Sally Rooney | Claire Fenby

it was a really wonderful exploration of how you navigate your life and relationships and the meaning of life when the world is burning around you and that kind of anxiety about the world and the direction of the world and what is meaningful to you and how do you kind of continue living when there's so many problems in the outside world and how do you kind of navigate that

emma probably is my favorite jane austen but i feel like whenever i re-read them i change my mind and they all kind of become equal

for me far from manning crowd is like the perfect novel because it has that contrast between the light of life and also the dark and the torturous natures as well as jealousy and love and hope and ambition as well

one thing i definitely appreciated more in this reread was actually the maturity of her writing and i guess the kind of the sadness as well in the novel which i don't think i picked up when i was younger but i definitely do now

i've recently just finished voyager and for me this is like the ultimate escapism i always feel like i'm completely immersed in the world with all these characters and it's just been a joy to read to be honest
