I was just hoping because of the way it's described that it would go into the territory of at least a little bit of surrealism or a little bit of magical realism. That doesn't happen unfortunately. I was hooked though, that being said, because really at the core, this is a story about two sisters and they're kind of unhealthy relationship to each other.

BluetsMaggie Nelson
Loved it

If you are feeling the blues during the rainy days, you may find some comfort in this because it is about Maggie Nelson talking about the color blue, but also her own blues.

Another book that feels exceptionally rainy is Frankenstein. I recommend this if you are looking to be a little introspective about humanity and what it means to be human and what it means to make mistakes also again and kind of regret them.

Jane EyreCharlotte Brontë
Loved it

I just have to recommend that it's one of my favorite books, guys. Do you see the tabs in there? Again, a book about love, tragic love, mistakes, just this beautiful coming of age story of Jane Air as she's in this orphanage first.

Sister OutsiderAudre Lorde
Loved it

Of course, there's Sister Outsider by Audra Lord. already read a few essays out of this and I've loved them all. So, I just want to get into more of them.
