‘i’m mostly here to enjoy myself’ sounds so good, i might need to give that one a listen on audio

the blue room painting!! i love that

i think i’m gonna read HAPPENING this weekend!! excited to read another ernaux 💌

9:02 DYING AT THIS LMAO - will def need to pick up A GIRL’S STORY!!

immediately adding THE COUNTRY UNDER MY SKIN to my tbr

Agreed! It can totally make or break a romance!

Thank u ☺️!!!!! Ditto!!!

i do not love that glynnis travelled quite early in the pandemic though it is giving peak westerner energy!!

ok annie ernaux...here we go again. be her pr agent already!!

OK fine i'll try an ernaux!!!!

ooo Assata

Eeeep! I enjoyed Glynnises memoir too! There are a few parts I want to return to actually

Omg thats the only ernaux i lowkey dnf-ed 😂

Waittttt! I bought a really pretty book by Belli (PURELY for the cover to be honest😂, te voy a mandar una foto). Thats too funny. Her memoir sounds so good!

Belli is a badass what the heck

Not a memoir but I am on the surprising long library queue for Paula because I lowkey miss Allende 😂 I also remember reading Arudhati Roy's walking with the comrades and being so blown away

Ahhh! I actually LOVED Cisneros’s memoir!! Some of the essays are just okay but the ones that hit HIT!!! Please lmk if u read El país bajo mi piel! It’s so worth it!

Totally with you on the not relying on translated fic simply to teach

I still feel like you should read a julia sanches translation. it ends up feeling like a new book

Hell yes to ernaux!

Wait I actually really like your DOA copy!

"its the filthiest book literally"😅

Sayuka Murata whatever they're smoking; I don't want it! EARTHLINGS....I absolutely cannot because the ride that book took me on was WILD

lmao "she may or may not be in love with her cousin" scrim.

ughh i need to move shubeik lubeik up my tbr! gonna start crafting sept's tbr :)

pahahahaha zomg I do hope u get to read Ferrante!!! AND YESSS ADD SHUBEIK LUBEIK TO YOUR SEP TBR! I wanna discuss it with you!!!

Earthlings f**d me up, I loved it 😂

Earlier this year I read Parade, the companion (tiny!) book for Strange Weather in Tokyo, and it was lovely

Omg, I had no idea that STRANGE WEATHER IN TOKYO had a companion!!! Will have to read it v soon!!!!! and yess!! EARTHLINGS is next-level!! Can't thank u enough for creating this challenge <3

Aw, yes, I think so many of the WIT recs I see are by Latinas (which is awesome)!! Glad u could find ones in other languages! Thank u for watching :D

Aww, yay! Hope u read an Ernaux or a Ferrante soon! Both THE POSSESSION and DAYS OF ABANDONMENT are short, so I'd start there! :D

i needddddd to read annie ernaux and im using ur little guide to get me started! i’ve been intimidated on where to start with her

OMG IVE NEVER SEEN THAT COVER OF DAYS OF ABANDONMENT ITS GORGEOUS WHAT DO U MEAN U DONT LIKE IT

Annie's soooo great! Espero que la leas pronto! And LOL u are the second person to tell me that you love that Days of Abandonment cover! It just doesn't do it for me -.- pero that makes me feel better!!

I am so curious about MacNicol’s first memoir! I really enjoyed her new one! I like her writing style, and her book made me feel less afraid of aging 😂

Thank u, Cass! Escaping is the best 💨

omg you’re doing amazing with the 10 books 10 decades!!

so impressed with your reading challenges so far! this vid is already getting me excited to reaaaaad

it’s so interesting bc i wouldn’t have thought migrations would be so dramatic & that it would hook someone. so i am so excited to give it a read!!!

yess minor detail - every sentence really did feel so purposeful. so so good.

Agreed! Such a pleasant surprise!!!

Libraries are the best!!! 3 is manageable!! I currently have 9 checked out :/

okay loved loved loved hearing you tell us about your thoughts reading ‘the autobiography of malcom x’ - was def intimidated by it but will have to take it off my shelves soon!

The Husbands is such a good time :))

Lmk if u pick Sociopath up! Can’t recommend it enough on audio!

Perú and Costa Rica were so beautiful! Thx so much for watching 😊

pahahahah glad I wasn't the only one who thought that!!!
