  • Haruki Murakami and his views of women

    I haven't read any of his works yet, I tried but couldn't get into. But I often heard that his descriptions of women are very sexualised and one-dimensional. Do you think it is true ? Does it get better or worse with time ? Which are his books where it is less or not the case ?

    I find the story and writing style too juvenile for my taste. It seems this books is much closer to the younger side of young adult. The other problem is that the book description gives too much information. The story was already very predictable, I don't think we needed extra information about what will happen in the middle of the book. The premise was cool and the main characters were cute, but it didn't land on me very well.

    The description

    I think the description of this book should be changed... it gives too much information??

  • Reading Journals

    I personally keep a reading journal because I like being crafty and having a physical space to reflect on my reads and keep track of readathons. I will admit I can absolutely get behind month-to-month, though, if I get busy. What do you all think of reading journals? Do you like them? If you do use them, what kind of spreads do you make?
