    me listening to you bringing up lucy, a scene:
    kat: mentions lucy
    sophie to self: ha! i think this was one of *my* recos for geminis
    kat: which sophie picked as a gemini book
    sophie to self: ha! exactly. well, jamaica kincaid is a gemini, so...
    kat: sophie might have a leg up bc jamaica kincaid is a gemini
    sophie to self: HA! not just a gemini but born on the self-same day i was born

    This list makes me want to be an aquarius haha but I think some of my gemini qualities relate. Also finally getting to that Rooney this year and hearing that you've read it multiple times just makes me all the more excited to get to it!

      @katsfieldnotes  9 месяцев назад

      Hahaha its a pretty cool club, not gonna lie 😂 And I actually really do think Geminis and Aquarius are super similar. And omgosh, have fun with that oneeeee. Are you doing it physically or on audio? (I have such a soft spot for that audiobook 😭)

    A perfect reading list! As a fellow Aquarius, happy almost birthday to us! We are high risk, high yield companions, but my gosh do we go hard for the things and people we love. That’s the infamous fixed sign obstinacy-i mean loyalty!! 😂 also ive never met an aquarius with bad taste in art. 🥳 ❤
    I love the way you interpreted Bluets under this lens. When I read it, I thought it was steeped in emotion, but you’re right. Nelson truly was reporting on her grief via the history of the color blue as a way to process it. She really said, “in this essay i will…” 💀
    Excellent video as always, Kat. If I were your friends, I totally would romanticize emails with you. If you ever need a penpal, look no further. :D also belated HNY!!

    • @katsfieldnotes
      @katsfieldnotes  9 месяцев назад +1

      Aquarius gang, assemble! Happy almost birthday to you too!! And happy aquarius season! Lmao I ALWAYS tuck that little aquarius traits away because I cant let the enemies see that we are truly super mushy and devoted to the things and people we love. Must come off steely and indifferent 😂 also re: art taste -- say that again!
      Your take on Bluets is so interesting! I could totally see that! Idk I remember loving it because I was like if she were to make direct eye contact with it, I think it would take me under 'cause she burrowed deeeep into that sadness. It felt super emotion-adjacent to me, and I was grateful for the distance but also felt super moved, which was a cool balancing act on her part
      I appreciate you, Jackie! Happy new year to you too! ♥️♥️♥️

  • @KenzWils
    @KenzWils 9 месяцев назад

    Ooooooh I see why I immediately loved you, I'm an Aquarius girlie too and proud of it! I feel like we get such a bad wrap lol. I am a "leave me alone I don't want you to know me but also I want you to know me deeply and I will intellectualize everything and have thoughts on everything and will talk to you about everything and have too many interests to fully commit to one and also I feel everything very deeply but won't acknowledge that so it seems like I don't feel anything" Aquarius. Every time I hear Aquarius traits I am struck by how much of a stereotypical Aquarius I am. (I remember looking up lists of famous Aquarians forever ago and being like oh this makes sense why I've always wanted to be a writer...) Happy Birthday!

    • @katsfieldnotes
      @katsfieldnotes  9 месяцев назад

      Heyyy Mackenzie!! The happy accident of this video is seeing just how many aquariuses were unknowingly drawn to one another haha! Astrology is trippy, I love it! Also so happy your're here!
      LMAO TOTALLY! That is us, little aliens with too many contradictions to count 😂 And sameeeee! I remember at first I was skeptical and felt like this random zodiac thing was not going to be able to pin me down, I am a unique individual and cannot be boxed in! (Aquarius 101) Then I read it and was like ... oh. well then 😂 And the writer thing always makes my brain bend. Love that you want to be a writer! Are you working on anything right now? And you too! Happy happy birthday!! ♥️♥️

    @emilyem3 9 месяцев назад

    I love how you talk about Sneha learning through trial and error in All This Could Be Different. ❤️ Because you couldn’t be more right. It was an immediate five star for me when I read it last year, but when I went to Goodreads the second I finished it (bad habit hehe), I couldn’t help but feel disappointed and like a lot of readers missed the point of seeing her personal growth throughout the book. Instead they just wanted to “cancel” her for, yeah, an arguably bad take, but one that she ends up coming around on by the end of the book. Anyway it’s very Aquarius of you to be non-judgmental of characters and leave them space to grow IMO 🙂
    Also, as a Virgo, you being an Aquarius just gives me another reason why I feel we would be friends IRL. ❤

    • @katsfieldnotes
      @katsfieldnotes  9 месяцев назад +1

      Emily I feel the EXACT same way! And I think it highlights the importance of more books like these, not just for the explicit sort of themes it was exploring but for the thought exercise and practice in letting people get things wrongs and right those wrongs, instead of just shunning them. I think the way we call people and become better humans to one another needs reform, and this was a pretty cool example of it! I def think a lot of people missed the point too. And hahaha I will say, I LOVE me a Virgo! I def think we wiuld be friends IRL too! ♥️♥️

I think its been my fav of Kincaid's so far! I always see it in used stores and lil free libraries and an lowkey offended ('cause how do you let go of ART) but better for us. I think all my Kincaids have been free lil library finds 😂
