    NOT a good book to read before bedtime. This is terrifying! I love it!

    I have no idea what I expected going into this book, but having read a mere 31 pages, I'm working very hard to convince myself to keep going. Trusting all your reviews that it'll pick up. :')

    There's something about the retrospective way Solstad writes about youth and love and everyday things from Oslo in 1938 that resonnates deeply at this moment in time. It's a book everyone should read, if only because it's a refreshing take on a war that has been covered fairly extensively.

    This book is long, sometimes incredibly dull, and then sometimes so brilliant it makes up for the dull parts. Reading from the POV of an American journalist during Hitler's rise in Germany and the early years of the war gave me insight I didn't realise I needed, considering I have a degree in history specialising in WW2 and propaganda.

    Without wanting to seem hypocritical considering I went into this book knowing it was true crime, it feels somewhat disrespectful. It's theatrical in a way I don't appreciate when reading about real people. Too much guesswork about feelings and experiences to make it a "good story" gave me the ick. I'm sorry.

  • A Deadly Education (The Scholomance, #1)
    Thoughts from 47% (page 150)

    I have to admit I'm starting to get super overwhelmed by all the exposition and El's inner thoughts. It's probably a skill issue coupled with English not being my first language but there's just so much information all the time. I'm getting to the point where I simply don't understand what's important and what's not, and forgetting a lot of things I feel like I've just read 😵‍💫 I hope it gets better because I really don't want to DNF this. I like the world and what (I think) is happening but it's tough 😭

  • Let's talk "bookmarks"

    I have seen it ALL, been there done that; from actual bookmarks, magnetic, paper, metallic, wooden to receipts and pills I will have to take later at night so I will also remember to read that chapter at the exact time. I have used my headbands, CDs or my actual bra

    With a little imagination everything can turn into a bookmark

    After everything I have ended up just remembering pages because I got exhausted What has worked for you??
