" I couldn’t hold back my laughter. The delirium I felt from the lack of sleep or food probably didn’t help the situation. Tears streamed down my face, and I could barely breathe.

“Why are you laughing?” my interrogator asked incredulously. “Is it illegal?” I replied. “You’re not allowed to laugh, so stop!”

nice prose and pacing minus the philosophical bits thrown inside- they feel as the author is trying too hard to make it deep and also break the flow a bit. empathise with both of the characters so far. i wish the psychoanalysis on tereza wasn't so in your face and left some room for the reader to interpret

Ramadan Kareem to everyone who celebrates! 🌙 I hope this month brings us peace, blessings and so much joy !

For those who don’t know, Ramadan starts in two days and is the ninth month in the Islamic calendar. During this month Muslims around the world fast (abstain from food and drink) from dawn to sunset. It’s a time for us to focus on spiritual growth, empathy for the less fortunate and overall self discipline.

I wont stop reading (I have Libby holds) but I wont be reading as much as I need to focus on other things. So my question for anyone who will be fasting this month, what are your reading plans 👀 And what will you be reading? Curious on how people will handle their reading as I tend to neglect mine lol. I guess I’ll be on my Ramadan Hiatus (stole this from @leyaa)

I also need to mention that during this month, I pray for all human beings who are suffering and oppressed all around the world. May Allah grant them peace, strengthen their hearts, grant them safety and mend their broken hearts ❤️‍🩹

Be honest with me for a second.

Are you actually reading books right now … or are you collecting them?

Is your TBR a carefully curated reading plan, or a beautiful tower of good intentions? Are you finishing what you buy, or are you chasing the thrill of the next preorder?

No judgment. This is a safe space for the “I own it and I’ll get to it eventually” crowd.

Tell me: 📚 How many unread books are currently staring at you? 📖 And what’s stopping you from starting them?

Confessions encouraged.

I will say, one thing this book does well is capturing the essence of a 14-15 year old’s diary. Bar for bar probably the type of stuff I would write at that age
