How I feel when I see really in depth critiques of books I enjoyed highlighting glaring inconsistencies and unbelievable details, realizing that my brain regularly either forgets or blocks every last one of those details when I’m having a good time 😂

Wow.
I don't know what to make of this, but I know it's good.
I've never read anything even remotely similar to Julia Armfield's style of writing, it was so easy to follow along with but also so captivating, the last thirty pages had me absolutely hooked.
As an ocean lover, this was extra enjoyable for me. (Despite the heartache.) This isn't my usual kind of book, I'm not much a horror person and read it more for the ocean and queer aspects, but I'm so glad I chose to read it! Something else I loved is how simple the queerness feels, it's acknowledged some but in fleeting moments and it feels like Leah and Miri are just that, Leah and Miri. Wives.
Absolutely devastating. 10/10.

Name the album you're currently obsessed with along with a book you think fits the vibes!
I was looping Willoughby Tucker, I'll always love you by Ethel Cain and was struck with how many elements it has in common with Crush by Richard Siken and that's what brought this on. It's also my secret ploy to get music and book recs at the same time

I live in the UK and it's been freezing for months and months, I read outside for the first time this year yesterday! Not for long as it was still a bit chilly and I had stuff to do, only 2-3 chapters. I love reading outside but the only thing is I live right next (Literally a few feet away) to a primary school and it feels like they're always outside😭 I'm excited to start reading some of the books I've been saving for sunnier days!

We all have a weird habit when it comes to reading, I know we do! For example, my sister will read the last page/chapter first to see if she's interested enough to know how they ended up there before spending days reading a book she doesn't like. (DIABOLICAL IF YOU ASK ME!)
Me? Well, I'm a strictly kindle girly (unless I go to the library) and I ABUSE the search function. A name I don't remember? Searching it. A place? Searching it. Random object that might have been mentioned in chapter 2? Searching it!! Quotes that are repeated? Searching them to see what context it was said in the last 2 times. I've accidentally spoiled things for myself so many times. But as an ADHD girly with the smallest little pea brain, I cannot stop using the search button 💀
Tell me your weird bookish habits or things other people would find diabolical 😅

I am currently NOT feeling any of the books I'm reading/have borrowed from the library, so I feel like I keep collecting more. BUT THEN I tell myself I can't read the new books until I read the old ones (I'm fighting Libby holds and library deadlines here). But bleeeeeh. I've had The House of Seven Gables "on the go" for months now LOL I just don't feel like reading something from that time period. I own it so there's no pressure but I borrowed (stole) The Mysteries of Udolpho from my sister and I need to read it too so I need to finish The House of Seven Gables first. I've also started Wildwood Dancing (Libby is wrenching it from my grasp in SIX days) but i wasn't feeling it last night! I have a Korean book also on the go but I have 9 days left (idk if I can read it that fast), I didn't get a notice that the ebook hold was available and it was the first time using this app so eek! I'm also picking my way through Empire of Silence and someone said the narration sounds like Optimus Prime and I can't get that out of my head. It's political intrigue and yes it's interesting but it's brain power yknow? I just bumped Play Nice to the top of my list and spent the day reading it but frankly it was underwhelming. It was a bit of a palate cleanse though!
Anyways what are you all reading? How are you liking your books? Loving them? Hating them? Little bit of both?

In light of the recent newsletter, I’m curious to know where everyone stands in the streak length percentage? In my case my streak is m on 60+, closer to 70, days, so that files me within the 6 percent!
