This book sounds great, added to my TBR. Several book-tubers recently have been talking about purging their book collections and I’m feeling inspired. As I get older, I find I need or want less things and I have downsized quite a bit but I do struggle with getting rid of my books. I love your idea of not buying a book until you are ready to read it! Great review as always! ❤
This book is amazing and I hope you enjoy it! Have they?! Surprisingly, I don’t want a lot of booktube 🤣. It’s been so … freeing to get rid of stuff and this new policy of mine with buying books makes purchasing books so much more fun. Gives me something to look forward to.
ofc the word 'asylum' has at least two meanings: One refers to an institution designed to house patients experiencing mental turmoil. Another meaning is a place or dimension where a beleaguered person finds safety. It seems to me that the difference between those two divergent ideas is upon whom the benefit is conferred. Is the institution there to protect the patient, or to protect society from the patient?
Oh I'll definitely be picking this up sometime soon now! I read Girl, Interrupted earlier this month, and enjoyed probably isn't the right word because it's rather harrowing, but it's a great read.
@@alanaestelle2076 I finished it Friday. It was pretty good. The writing style took some getting used to initially. The commentary was spot on. It did its job.
@@alanaestelle2076 The Vanishing Half is sort of the kind of thing I imagine you writing, or Gone with the wind- a sort of history major , well-researched but ficticious tale.

We need an unhaul video after THAT preamble. 😅
LOL! I can make that happen!!
Yes please!
@@alanaestelle2076 Yes, please
Sounds very interesting and eerie too. Again, you have given me another book to add to my list.
Yes! Eerie and yet some how beautiful at the same time. I hope you enjoy it when you read it!
Officially added to my TBR
This one sounds interesting! And I love the rambles. Being able to fit all one's clothes into a closet is awesome.
This one is so good! LOL I'm glad you like the rambles.

Yessssss! You’re spot on!
Oh please do an unhaul video. I hope you didn’t purge any that I bought after watching your bookshelf tour video (a dozen times). 😂
I plan on it! The books I unhauled won’t be spicy hahaha. No classics left my collection, that’s for sure lol.
I bought 7 books after that video. I’ve read 4 so far. I purchased them because we have already read or have on my tbr so many of the same.
Non-conformist. Misunderstood. Criticized. Sounds like Janet Frame and I have something in common. I'll read it. Thanks, Alana. Well done.
Same. Same. I hope you enjoy this one. It’s a stunner. And thank you!

I really want to read Girl, Interrupted. I really think you’ll enjoy this one. The writing alone is beautiful.
Currently digging my way through this novel.
How’s it going? 👀

"Owls do cry" by JF is better.
That's on my list to read eventually.
I can't wait until you write a book. I'm predicting this. It'd be both tragic and funny. Nonconformist.
Hahaa! I’ve brained stormed some things. We shall see. 👀
