Wow there is so much to unpack here 😭 I don't read much contemporary fiction mostly because it can be too meta or too... contemporary for me BUT this novel was a must read and I have to say it did not disappoint!!! I loved it! it's indeed very meta, the social media feuds whirled me back into my chronically online episodes where I'd dig into whole threads of twt sh00ters going for someone or some woke topic 😂 these paragraphs were just very on point! thank gosh I no longer use that hellsite ✊🏽 aside from that, I really wanted to strangle Juniper lmao R.F. Kuang brilliantly puts us in this girl's shoes and brain, which btw was infuriatingly annoying throughout the entire book 😭 you can tell R.F. KUANG has written with a LOT of her own experiences in mind, and I appreciate the criticism she's doing although some might think it overbearing. But to me that's the whole point!!! because entitled white women with an inferiority complex and karen behaviour tend to be THAT extreme and overbearing too!!! another great read 👏🏽

I don't know that I've ever been so stressed reading a book?? Like I know it wouldn't be satisfying for June to get away with it so I don't want that, but GOD do I not want to be living in her head when it all comes crashing down. And the anticipation in the meantime is killingggg me!! It's a lose/lose/lose but the book is good so I do want to keep going. So I guess I'm....trapped?

I hate this woman, omg. As a writer myself, I would've haunted her ass.

The toxicity of this lady, omg. I will read the book, but I already despise her.

Hi! I really want to read some sci-fi books this month because all I've been reading so far were romance books. I wanted to change pace and try reading a sci-fi book. I was hoping any recommendations to a sci-fi newbie like me 🫶

i have no idea if this would ever be possible, but thought i’d mention something i’ve always wanted out of a book app (literally i think about this every time i use storygraph) i’d looove if when adding a book to my tbr, i could add just a little note where i can document where i found out about the book and why in that moment im so intrigued to read it i just find my tbr can get so long i often look through it and see many books in which i have no recollection of where it was recommended to me, or why i was excited by it. especially as i tend to get my recommendations from many many sources. does this sound like something anybody else would enjoy too? perhaps could be a future suggestion the the page bound creators

delightfully creepy, odd and witty all at the same time! I didn't know I'd like reading light horror like this but it seems I do?! a great introduction to the genre imo! 🙂↕️ if like me you barely remember Poe's original story, or don't know it at all, this retelling will feel very novel, positively so! loved it!

I took a Climate Fiction course in my Masters (I studied EngLit) and have been invested in this subgenre ever since!! I want more recs for climate fiction though, it could also be just a subplot rather than the whole plot🥺 I'll share my recs here and you share yours plz!! My recs: 1) How Beautiful We Were by Imbolo Mbue 2) Dark Wild Shore by Charlotte McConaghy 3) A Psalm for the Wild Built by Becky Chambers (this one is more hopeful than the others) 4) Death of the Author by Nnedi Okorafor (a subplot in this one) 5) Parable of the Sower by Octavia Butler 6) Annihilation by Jeff VanderMeer I don't recall more rn but please give me your recs🤲

what did I just read? oh my goodness 🥹 I'm not used to sci-fi books, because they can be difficult to understand but this was just the perfect amount of sci-fi. I feel I'm not eloquent enough to explain why I loved this story so much, nor how good it was without spoiling the whole plot 😭 BUT TRUST this is amazing, it blew my mind more than once!! btw I loved Ambrose and Kodiak's bond, however many versions of it there was. I can't wait to read the sequel!
