Starting a new book today based on one of my favor

Starting a new book today based on one of my favorite movies of all time. Probably a movie you’ve never heard of! 🎶 I read this over a decade ago and remember a.) it’s nothing like the movie; and b.) I hated it. I think I kept it because it’s out of print and REALLY hard to find. 🎶 Interested to see if I like it any better now, or if I’m gonna rip off the band-aid and just unhaul it.

At the drive-in for the first time this summer (much later than usual) and of course I had to bring my current read for before the show! Who has already read Gallant? What did you think?

I have waited for this book for such a long time that now, finally reading it, I am deeply torn between loving Tess (who is as flawed and relatable as ever as she stumbles through trying to be worthy) and disappointed at how thinly stretched the story is - too many POVs. I am still enjoying it… but it is not Tess of the Road.

Sending love to everyone with a uterus, everyone who is afraid for their rights, everyone who is afraid of what will come next, and everyone who is so angry they don’t know what to say.

Hello beautiful people. How are you? 💜

I’ve stopped reading lately - even audiobooks!! - because I’ve got an exam in 2 (!!!) weeks and the only time I have to study is in stolen moments between working and adulting and being too tired to keep my eyes open a moment longer. I have a newfound respect for working students who still read prolifically for fun.

Wishing I was back in Greece like in this photo, at sea and enjoying life. Hope you are all happy and reading something wonderful!

Finished Daughter of the Moon Goddess earlier this

Finished Daughter of the Moon Goddess earlier this week. This one took me a really long time to read, not for lack of enjoyment, but for lack of energy to read anything at all. It definitely has some debut flaws, but there’s scenes that just blew me away with how immersive they were. If you enjoy Chinese fantasy, you’ll probably like this, you just need to have a little bit of patience with the flaws. Sue Lynn Tan has a lot of potential as a new author and I’ll be keeping an eye on her work.
