    "I had told myself when Mrs. Grandlin handed this treat to me that I would make it last the week, that it could be the prize at the end of my duties, but once I figured out the proper soaking time, I greedily consumed all of it in a single, shameful go. God was watching, as he watches all, but assuredly he would allow a broken old man this simple indulgence, would he not?"

    Let he who has never overindulged in a little treat cast the first stone 🙈

    I'm trying to figure out what angle this author is taking with the narration style because the writing feels so different from what I'm used to. The first sentence starts off with "A day worker reaches into the wall" and yet after the first paragraph it becomes established that this is a recollection and not something happening in the moment. It's an interesting choice, especially since only a few pages later the narration begins to focus on addressing Etsy's great x3 -grandfather, and so I guess technically switches to something akin to second person pov? Makes me wonder how often switches in POV and tense will happen throughout.

  • ‘action’ heavy books?

    hii :) currently trying to get out of a like two month long reading slump & it has not been going well unfortunately 😞 what are some 'action' heavy books that you've enjoyed? doesnt have to be super action-y in the sense of fighting or battles (tho im open to those too) but i need something where there's something interesting happening almost every other moment? if that makes sense?😭 something that doesn't give my brain too much time to rest or get bored. my close friends(usual reading buddies) are in slumps as well so it'd be nice if there's something we could read together? some of my fav 'action' packed books are:

    • you made a fool of death with your beauty • kindred • im glad my mom died • the silent patient • the duke and i • battle royale

    we're open to literally any genre! thank you so much in advance <333

    For some reason it didn't occur to me that his "Adventures" would be many. They're so bite-sized! Considering that I have a long book that I'm planning to read soon, I think I'll pace myself with this one so that I can read a story here or there in-between instead of trying to read all these in one go

  • Whoops! Just found out you don't get points for any reviews you leave after you've already submitted a rating

    Today I finished reading a book and since I was a bit busy I decided to leave a rating on my phone before I forgot and then write my review when I could get on my computer. After posting is when I found out that you get 1 point for ratings and 5 for reviews, but you only get the 5 points for leaving the review if you leave it at the same time that you're rating it but not after. I don't leave a lot of reviews and usually if I do I leave it at the same time as my rating so I wasn't aware of this until now, so I guess this counts as a little PSA for anybody else who didn't know :P

    Although the last 30% or so of the book did make me emotional, for a vast majority of it I just found the characters to be vapid, annoying, or both ^^;
    Being in the POVs of two characters definitely made it more interesting, but it was also just a really exhausting read to have to constantly be in the heads of two people who have very angsty inner monologues
