Bookish Contradictions Tag

And then i do have a bonus entry for this entry but i also thought of this one as well — and speaking of ann patchett — it's bel canto, which i, like i said earlier, i love this book but i don't love this cover.

But this was one of those books where every single point of view made sense, was compelling. I enjoyed all of these characters.

It's not an easy book to read because of the formatting and things like that. But the story in and of itself is amazing and beautiful and should be read by anyone who enjoys sort of like a dystopian or apocalyptic sort of stuff.

I found it to be just utterly disappointing, just not for me.

This is literally a book i recommend to everyone. It's like there's no one in the world who i wouldn't hand homegoing to, unless you just literally don't read fiction books. This is masterful and 100% the exception to the rule of i don't enjoy multiple POV books.

i couldn't get through it. i realized that i didn't care about like privileged white people problems, like rich white people problems.

Like this is a complicated book and so i could imagine that the designer of this cover didn't really know what to do with it because i also wouldn't know how to market this book because it's not a simple straightforward plot with clear elements that you can pull out to highlight what this book is about.

I was completely unimpressed by it. Like it was fine, it was a three star experience i think but i honestly could not tell you anything about that book. It just didn't leave an impact on me.

They did it with state of wonder, it got like a harper perennial re-release, which i bought that version because i enjoyed it so much.

And yeah, i just remember like i hated my experience reading this book because it just felt extremely narrowly focused and sexist and things like that.

But i've like really enjoyed a lot of her books. Like bel canto, this is a story of a happy marriage, like dutch house, i just read her recent essay collection and raved about it.

And so i've read the patron saint of liars and i didn't really enjoy that one.

But i did, i loved it despite, or maybe because, of how dark and disturbing it was.

But i've like really enjoyed a lot of her books. Like bel canto, this is a story of a happy marriage, like dutch house, i just read her recent essay collection and raved about it.

I think i tried to read truth and beauty and i couldn't get through it or something along those lines. Or i started and i just could tell it wasn't working for me so i put it down.
