Ok 💙📚booksky, you convinced me. My next read is Babel by R.F. Kuang 💙📚#books #babel

Just finished Station Eleven
⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️. Fantastic writing, but I felt it glossed over many of the characters. The intertwining of the characters connections also never really seemed to go anywhere. What did you all think? 💙📚
November 24, 2024 at 12:10 AM
Current Read #2: I’m slowly picking my way through Shake Hands With the Devil by Roméo Dallaire. This is a non-fiction about Dallaires time leading the UN mission in Rwanda. It’s a dark and heavy history lesson.
