Read a queer romance that etched its way into my soul, yesterday. You’re doing yourself a disservice if you have never read the author. I read 807 pages in 1 sitting. That’s how for real I am right now.
One page for every tear I cried.

We are up to Kenya!

"A Grain of Wheat," a novel by Ngugi wa Thiong'o, is set against the backdrop of Kenya's struggle for independence from British colonial rule. The narrative unfolds in a rural village, Thabai, during the tumultuous period marked by the Mau Mau uprising. 💙📚

Books #76 and #77 for the year. Wonder how many treasures I’m missing by buying new books instead of reading my TBR…

I loved these two books and read each in one sitting! My heart!!!

#42 starting the next in my reading around the world challenge.

When was the last time you spent a whole weekend, unapologetically, reading?

What’s on your TBR?

This book fucked me up. I have many thoughts. First. It’s sort of uncommon to read a book with a MC that is so unlikable. Everyone reads differently but it’s kind of refreshing. It was a hard read.

#41. I have no idea why it took so long for me to read this. If there was a book I could force everyone to read, it’d be this.

It hit me with the subtlety of a bullet.

This was supposed to be book F in my A-Z reading around the world challenge. Turns out it’s set in Estonia not Finland. I’m going to proceed regardless.

An older woman finds a younger trafficking victim in her front yard and so the tale unfolds.

Next in my “Reading around the world” challenge is Egypt. This debut is said to “evoke Orwellian dystopia, Kafkaesque surrealism, and a very real vision of life after the Arab Spring.”

I JUST finished this. It was sometimes a very hard read. The family it follows sometimes puts the Fun is Dysfunctional. Still recommending! Just maybe not if your mental health is already bad.

Cheese Buldak. Recipe from @maangchi.com … it’s always on heavy rotation in my house. Do yourself a favor though and use real mozzarella.

I read this book in one sitting today. Surprised by the mixed reviews I’ve read. I fell in love immediately. But if you aren’t the audience that’s okay. I think it speaks loudest to scarred girls that have always yearned for home and found it unexpectedly in the darkest corners.

Old photo. But I love it. My cat Hecate shelved herself appropriately. Her last name is also Miller. Also in this house, we read Henry Miller. 💙📚
