What To Expect - - 'Tender Is The Flesh' is a novel I would describe as a mix of horror, dystopian, and speculative.
My Feelings - - I didn't enjoy reading this story, although I can appreciate what it was doing. I felt the clinical way of writing the POV of our MC was very effective in communicating the themes of the book, and the way the story was pushed forward in the second part, and then wrapped up, was exceptional.
The descriptions of the 'special meat' were pretty gross, but I found the casually horrifying ways the MC would think and act more disturbing.
Recommendation - - If you like to read about flawed MCs, awful government propaganda, and disturbing themes - this book is for you.
2.5 āļø = I can see why other people would enjoy it, it just didnāt quite hit for me

This one may be too heteronormative for meā¦ I do like reading about others experiences but for this memoir I was hoping for insight into love that could be reflected into my own life and queer-love. Sooo may just not be what I was looking for š¤· Queer people, are you enjoying this book? Iāll hang on for a bit longer!
Funny quote from the beginning~ āNo moment in my life will ever be as heart-breaking as when Will Young came out as gay and I had to pretend I was fine about it. -but I cried while I burned the leather book I had been given for my confirmation in which I had written about our life together.ā and so far itās just been a lot about āboysā -perhaps intended to be more humorous than insightful

Soooo, Iām trying to fix my chaotic reading habits for next year, and I made this super chill reading plan:
ā¢ Aim for 4 books a month (realisticā¦ I think?) ā¢ Mix 70% fiction with 30% non-fiction so I donāt get bored halfway through ā¢ Finally finish the stack of unread books that have been haunting me since 2020 ā¢ Try 3 genres I barely touch (maybe queer, horror, and a memoir) ā¢ Also kinda hoping to join a buddy read if anyoneās up for it!
How about you guys? Anyone already plotting their 2026 reads?

āAfter all, the Latin word translatio means āto carry acrossā. Translation involves a spatial dimension - a literal transportation of texts across conquered territory, words delivered like spices from an alien land. Words mean something quite different when they journey from the palaces of Rome to the tearooms of todayās Britain.ā
im sobbing on the floor I LOVE LANGUAGES I LOVE THIS BOOK

I know, I havenāt made much progress in the book but Iām hesitant to continue. Isnāt that what I expected or am I not in the mood? The language is quite crude and the characters are unsympathetic. People with the same feeling who continued or people who loved this book? šš
