I don’t know about y’all, but I am always on the hunt for new friends to steal books from—yes, even from those who are pro-tomato even if they’re WRONG. /t
I wanted to make a post so we can all share our ISOs for niches of books we like and find folks we want to follow so we can hop on board their TBR Trains 🚂
The idea in general is for each of us to make a comment with what we’re looking for, and for those who read something on our list and want to be followed to reply so we can find them! Not sure what that looks like? You can find my own post in the comments. 🫶

faatimah-_- commented on amanda_the_tangerine's review of The Art Thief: A True Story of Love, Crime, and a Dangerous Obsession
EXTREMELY unexpected five-star read for me. What the actual hell. The story is insane, the heists are crazy (in the sense that they're so stupid and anticlimactic it almost reads as a comedy), and the later portion of the book goes mental. I couldn't even believe some of the stunts this guy pulled off. All he had was a swiss army knife, a girlfriend who saw no flaw in him, and the crack of his ass, and he made that work, by God did he!
The book is written in a very cinematic way, it recounts the events, sometimes in a repetitive way, but every time a theft is described, there is always something new to note in the progression of his abilities as a thief. It's super effective as an entertaining read, and also manages to give some interesting facts about art and art thefts throughout history, scattered in the book.
Bonus point: The author gives an absolute treasure trove of similar books about art thefts at the end. My TBR has grown in about 20 books.

I read the first 7 chapters back in the summer, put it on hiatus for a few months, got 5 chapters from the end then put it on hiatus again. I WILL be done with this book by tomorrow. 😭 It’s not even that I don’t like the book, I actually like it a lot, but the slumps I’ve been getting while reading it are crazy. I’ve read and finished four books in the span of time since I started this one.

I WISHHH this were a movie or show so I could visually see how the spellograph works in real time 🤧 I feel like my imagination and limited understanding is not doing it or the trials a true justice
