My Current Reads! Do NOT read Asian American Dreams while reading Yellowface, it somehow makes you hate Junie even more!

You got a point lmaoo. It just lowkey gets frustrating reading comments from people who swears the world is against them because i read a couple more books than them, or because i decided to “over consume” by buying a heap of books 🤣

You just said a word! Literally, It’s never crossed my mind to feel shame or “less than” because someone else read 10000 books and i read 2 books, I’m just happy with my 2 🤣 You aint ever lied!

Just finished “If Beale Street Could Talk” and it wrecked me. Baldwin doesn’t just tell a story—he makes you feel every ounce of love, pain, and injustice. Now I have to watch the movie 😭😢

Assata is in my top 3 autobiographies ever, one of those books that make you realize you’ve been too comfortable all your life

The Feburary book for The Oasis Bookclub will be “If Beale Street Could Talk” by James Baldwin! I’ve never read any Baldwin before so I’m excited for this one. The bookclub is on Fable for anyone interested!

Just finished one of the greatest books i’ve ever read, and one i’ll think about often.
You could write an essay about almost every character in this book. Epic, Larger than life, and Legendary. #booksky #lonesomedove

Probably the book I felt the most *horrified* with the turn of every page. Legendary, scarier than any horror book i’ve ever read though 🔥

450+ pages in so far and I can definitely say that Lonesome Dove has some of the best characters i’ve ever read 😭 7+ plotlines and I care about EVERY SINGLE ONE! You know a historical fiction is good when it makes you want to learn more about the time period, Believe The Hype! #booksky #booktok
