Not sure how I feel about the writing style yet. It contains a lot of short incomplete sentences used for emphasis which I know is more common nowadays but it's a style that seems a bit juvenile to me when it's used as often as it has been so far just in the first 10 pages. I hope it gets toned down a bit as the story continues.

I know this might be too early of a judgement but after hearing from everyone and their mother how amazing this book is, I guess I was expecting more mature prose to go along with this supposedly amazing story.

I love a narrator with a distinct narrative voice and was hoping I'd vibe with this one

I'm really hoping I can shake this off and get invested in the main characters soon.

Aside from my 40 book goal, I really want to start annotating more. I think I struggle with this because I get so many library books and it's hard/time consuming to transfer the context of my notes to my reading journal. But at least for the ones I own, I want to put forth more effort.

I also want to be more social but part of that struggle is I don't do well with small talk. So another book-related goal I have is to start attending more book club meetings at my libraries.

by inverse unpopular opinion I mean books that aren't that loved but you love, or if you have any niche books that aren't famous but should be tell me. The title is mostly clickbait😂

my examples: for niche book we have "the secret diary of Laura palmer". I understand why this is niche because you only know about this book if you watched Twin peaks but seriously, is one of my favourite books all of you go whatch the series, then the movie and then the book thank you

and another one would be "from blood and ash", I know it is very loved but most of the youtubers/content creators I follow hate it and, surprisingly, because its not the kind of books I read at all, I really liked it and I finished really quickly although being like 600 pages.

tell me yours!!
