I don't know if I'm making sense. I'm very new to discussing non-fiction, and I don’t read it as much as I wish I would, so please let me know if I'm getting something wrong or don't make sense. There is something in this book that leaves me very conflicted, and it's the way it talks about wars and conflicts. Because saying someone was not interested in unnecessary force/cruelty (I don’t know exactly how you would say that in English) and then explaining during the next 3 pages how this person forged war their entire life in the name of proving their religion as righteous, killing civilians without need and threatening with more forceful conquests .... is certainly a choice. Mind you, I'm not saying the book should take a stand here - it is a historical and cultural account, so I want the facts. But there is sometimes very positive framing followed by a description of actions that feel strange then.

This is such a unique way to say that Eron is trans without him having to say it outright; he just offers menstrual products to Grey, mentioning that his just finished. I always love when authors "quietly" include queer characters aka it's so normal in the world, our MC is just like "oh yes this is my friend, they go by" and "so embarrassing when he offered me his extra pads." It makes me wish our world was like that, where everyone was just themselves and didn't need to explain themselves or anything 😢

Considering that each TheBrokenBinding edition book has around 800 pages, I'm glad they split the last book up, but it does lead to confusing tracking.
Anyway, aww, Simon, I feel like a proud mother or something. You are still sometimes an annoying teenager, but honestly, what a mood. I would be, too, if I had to spend an entire winter outside. 👌🏻

Hey, page-turners 🤗 So, I used to lend out my physical books without even a second thought (now I only read ebooks and audiobooks, which means I don't have that problem anymore). But, man, not everyone’s in a rush to give them back, are they?
There was this one time I bought an absolutely beautiful art book when I was at the Louvre (felt super fancy, not gonna lie), and I let a friend borrow it. He loved art as much as I did, or so I thought. Yeah, that book never made its way back to me. The worst part? I barely even got to look through it myself. Ugh, talk about regret. 🤦♂️
What about you? Are you cool with lending your books out, or do you kind of feel like you’re just saying goodbye forever? 📖😊
