Since I've been very shitty with blogging I decided to try and make things easier by introducing a weekly update of my reading, almost like a vlog in written format. I really can't promise I will be consistent but let's hope I can at least post more than once every other month.
SEPT, 14th - Finished late at night Long Live the Tribe of Fatherless Girls by T. Kira Madden. One of the most beautifully written yet brutal memoirs I've ever read. It blows my mind how anyone can write about such horrible things in such a beautiful way. Highly recommend it but keep in mind you can find trigger warnings for everything. I am not normally triggered by much, if anything I might feel very uncomfortable, but there was one specific chapter which made me wanna vomit and I had to put down the book for a few days.
SEPT, 15th - And I am done with Exciting Times by Naoise Nolan. An okay read: you can tell it is a debut. What I enjoyed the most was the discussion around language and the ending. If you cannot stand books where characters are unable to communicate properly, stay away from this.
SEPT, 16th - This evening I decided to pick up volume 2 of Heartstopper and, as expected, I finished it in one sitting. I found it as cute as volume 1 and although not much happened in terms of plot and most of the volume is Charlie and Nick being smitten with each other it does deal with some important things such as accepting one's feelings and the importance of coming out at your own pace without being pressured to do so. I cannot wait to read volume 3 to see where the story takes us.
SEPT, 18th - It's almost time to start making some lunch but just finished The Last Magician and oh my god, what the fuck was that ending? seriously, it should be illegal to end a book in such a cliffhanger. Especially because I have other books to read before I can get started on the sequel. But I do think the book shouldn't have been as long as it was.
