April 2021 Reading Wrap-Up

it's a lovely charming romance novel with a few tropes that are a bit exhausted by this point especially the whole miscommunication

that is my favorite book of this year so far i think or at least definitely book in english you know not in translation

50 sounds is a really fantastic book and i'm so glad that i got to read it polly's an amazing writer she's a great linguist a great philosopher a great translator everything it's really amazing how she explores the language and culture of japan through this book

it's a really charming book it's a little long and meandering it could have been cut down a little bit

these two books had just come out and i got to read them and i absolutely adored them

it's fine like it's really an okay story there were a lot of things i liked about it and a lot of things that i didn't like about it the writing starts off particularly poetic and beautiful and then kind of peters out that is both a good and bad thing about the book it's a very underdeveloped world

i really liked all three of these books terminal boredom was my favorite

it is twisted and dark and it deals with a lot of hauntings and ghosts and witchcraft and cults and paranoia and it's pretty much all set in one city and it really gives that city this horrible weight and thick gravity that i loved to pieces it's a twisted nasty gorgeous book that i cannot celebrate enough

the vanishing half is incredible it's as good as everyone says it is i took a bit of time to read it i found that i had to devour it in tiny bite-sized chunks i'm not sure why something about me but i'm so glad that i read this
