    I posted a few days ago (a week ago? 2? Can't remember!) about wanting to reread it, and I finally started! I didn't remember how heavy the info dump of the world building was at the begging, it took me by surprise! I read it on 2013, and I just passed the first sentence I underlined on my first read and yep, not something I would highlight now! Instead, I've found another snipped that caught my attention that I completely ignored on that first read... It's really interesting experimenting how different my experiences with this book are!

    This book has been on my tbr forever. I’m finally jumping in, but I am a little intimidated by it. It’s my second RF Kuang novel, so I am extremely excited!

    Should I reread it?

    As this book is part of the summer readalong, I was looking through comments and realised I don't really remember much about it! I gave this book 5 stars years ago, and I remember how impactful it was, yet I can't remember much! Should I reread it given that's a classic that's always mirroring our convoluted times? Or should I keep the memory of my first read and how I loved it despite not recalling much?

  • I’m Glad My Mom Died
    Thoughts from 41% (Chapter 34)

    "Her happiness came at the cost of mine." 💔💔💔 This is a different scenario, but it always bothers me when family vloggers say, "When they get older, they can make their own decisions" in reference to being filmed. This part highlights how experiences like this can negatively affect children while they are still young, and simply giving them a say when they are older is not enough. I do not care if this fame benefits your child's financial future or if you're greedy, your future. Prioritize their safety and well-being above all else.

  • To Annotate or Not to Annotate - that is the question

    Hello everyone~! Does anyone not annotate in their books? Like, I see on book socials and stuff all the time of people organizing their notes or annotations with color coordinated sticky tabs or pens/highlighters, people drawing little memes and stuff for their reactions to stuff. But I cannot take notes on or in a book to save me. I hate writing in my actual books because I like to donate them from time to time, I can never put my thoughts or opinions in the proper order to write them in a separate notebook without getting the plot lost somehow, and I'm just really unorganized. I respect the time and dedication that it takes, but I feel exhausted just thinking about it. Does anyone else have this problem so they just choose not to annotate/note or is it just me?
