I seem to collect literary dogs, and Buck is no exception 😭❤️🩹
Enormous TW near the end of the story (chapter 7) for the N word, hard R. Despite the publication date, this slur occurred only once in the text. Also unfortunately for 1903, they had lots of other slurs to write in 🤡
Now I can watch the 2020 adaptation!
Read this back in August/September. There are no words enough. I felt right beside Anne. I found some of the speeches listened to on the radio in the Annex. It's nauseating how much Anne is death-signaling herself too, from a literary perspective imo
Adorable 5 minute audiobook! The kids are gonna be okay 🩵
The Way of Kings (The Stormlight Archive, #1)
Brandon Sanderson

It's meant to be music I think either (a) Kaladin would listen to, or (b) would play during his POV chapters 💙
(if this breaks any rules lmk and I'll remove this post)
You Weren't Meant to Be Human
Andrew Joseph White
I was just gonna find out thru a tumblr post that there's a special edition of YWMTBH with a bonus chapter 💀🫣
Fahrenheit 451

Ah I see we're doing the "she breasted boobily" misogyny here

I feel like the plot is about to pop-eth OFF with Tiresai coming into her Raybearer-hood (as a person NoT aLLoWeD to be a Raybearer 🙄 smh)
The writing is very smooth 💙 I think my adolescent self would've swallowed the story whole by now 😅

Finished: The Old Man and the Sea by Ernest Hemingway Just the blandest, boringest, monotone stream of consciousness. I read this in a highschool English class and if I needed to read "the old man said... the old man said... the old man said" for a grade again, I'd take the 0. Whoever sold the lie that Hemingway is 'oNe Of tHe gReAtEsT aUtHoRs oF tHe 20tH cEnTuRy' must've been smoking crack bc that's the only way this short story is palatable. It should've been much much shorter, like no pages at all.
DNF: The 100 Year Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared by Jonas Jonasson Sloppy. Predictable. Misogynist. Rip-off of Forrest Gump as the titular old man is sooooo conveniently in the right place at the right time, AND always "knows a guy", AND rolls a natural 20 for every Persuasion check. I'm not sure which genre the author thought they were writing, but this tale is not worth flipflopping between investigative melodrama, and comedy, and historical fiction, and action(?). Usually, I'm all over a book spanning across many years, but I just dreaded opening this book every single time
What it says on the tin: What is the worst book you have ever read and finished? What about the worst book you ever read and DNFed?
(Remember this is all in fun, to meet people with similar tastes, and because I'm curious, not to shame anyone for liking or disliking books you liked or disliked!!)

I work in the postal service and I often deliver books signed From Dolly 🩷
Dolly Parton was an amazing philanthropist and singer. She was a queer ally and helped get kids free books. She did so much for education in East Tennessee. Truly a woman to look up to and her family is asking people to donate to her book program for kids instead of flowers to remember her. RIP Dolly you were amazing.
