Read It or Unhaul It Reading Vlog #5... Finishing 2025 Strong! 📚⭐️

I actually am finding it so interesting and I'm really enjoying the process of reading it and I'm already taking so many notes even though I'm only like 20 pages in.

Like Margaret Atwood's most recent. I think it was her most recent collection, Dearly. Something like that didn't quite land for me.

I love when they have the poem in its original language on one side and then the translation on the other.

I found it intriguing, engaging. I was emotionally invested in various characters and as I realized what was happening, but there was just something missing for me in the way the conclusion was handled and executed.

The Blue Castle is one of her books that I read as an adult and immediately became an all-time favorite.

So, for me, this was a very mixed bag. Like I said, loved some of the stories. The three I mentioned that I gave five stars to were just absolutely lovely.
