He comes and says hello to me, roughly half the time. And this is how I know if I am a girl today, or if I have no gender, and have won. Thank you weird library compatriot.

And plugs in what looks like a full landline phone. He once moved around the room five times to it next to me, which was super stressful) and insists on saying hello to all the young girls who come to study. (Armless, the librarian says, and I believe her) now here is the kicker : (…)

I second the hell yeah.

Even more excited for this book now ♥️♥️♥️♥️

And so I need to fight for every word, put my back into it and bloody my knuckles. Tomorrow we try again.

Read this one this summer, and it’s melancholy was almost too hard to bear, it really captured a contemporary feeling of suspended despair incredibly beautifully. I do recommended it because it is gorgeous and strange, but you need to be well grounded when you read it.

Also a place where gen z and boomers get to bug me in equal measure, a beautiful place of community and equality. 🤣

Yes!! That was totally my feeling as an outsider person. It’s such a shame, feels like solid ideas and concepts are being wasted. (big fan of your books btw, they brought me a lot of joy this Christmas season :D)

I often read between the lines of reviews of especially new author that they might have had much stronger book, and much better reviews if the publisher had spent the adequate time on it. Thinking especially about assistant to the vilain, who seems to have just been thrown to the wolves as is.

This is where my rage goes. And I need to remind myself where my rage needs to go instead. Where my rage needs to go. Where my rage needs to go. (4/4)

Whether they did it with eyes opened or closed. I am a non-binary, neuro-atypical lesbian, married to a teacher and an immigrant. I want to scream at all my family members « why don’t you want to protect us? » « why don’t you care? ». (3)

It’s a detail, it’s also many other lovingly planned projects collapsing, another bite our ultra-liberal government is taking out of our lives. Everyday I am so angry, at millionaires destroying are country. And I find my rage turning to the people around me who voted for those people.(2)
