    Levin is going on about farming again haha I feel like I'm reading two books at the same time - one about a high society Russian lady having an affair and one about some bloke trying to run his farm. I don't mind it too much compared to some other people I've seen online who really hate Levin's story, but I would much rather be reading Anna's story instead

  • Book buying ban 😳

    Who else has banned themselves from buying new books because of their substantial physical tbr and who else is quite bad at upholding that ban haha I've become very aware of over consumerism over the last couple of years and am trying to adjust my bad habits but sometimes I can't help but grab a new book every once and a while

    Very tempted to re-read this series even though I have sooo many books on my tbr that I've never touched before 😭 it's honestly such a brilliant series anyone who hasn't read it DO IT NOW

    Obviously I'm not an expert on 19th century Russian high society so whilst I can understand most of the social expectations of the characters and understand their words and actions within their own context - sometimes they say or do something and the reaction they get makes no sense to me?? I feel like I need an explanation for most of the jokes or why the characters found something funny cos even reading things back I can't figure it out! The struggles of reading classics I guess

  • Pagebound as my new doomscrolling replacement

    Once I go on Pagebound, I spend SO MUCH time in here, that I have no time to doomscroll anymore LOL. It's great, but it also makes me think that I don't have enough lifetime to read all of the books T-T I love how much it motivates me to read tho and I started listening to audiobooks thanks to people's recommendations!

    I've only really just started this book, but I'm already in love with it and it's reinforced my love for classic novels! The drama and the characters are so good it's like watching a soap opera đŸ«¶đŸ«¶
