Totally dystopian!! I dont know how she managed to make me feel like I never wanted to be in that world but wholllllly familiar and smack in the center of that world at the same dang time?? So well done!
ripe is one of my favorites of the year for sure!! i was also tense af while reading and i felt an immense sense of dread while reading it??? but i had so much fun???? i loved it lol
Eeep, thank you for being here! ☺️ And ugh, The Details was such a special book, I hope you enjoy it as much as I did! I really need to look up if any others have been translated by her
so so so many bangers in this wrap up. i remember when i first read Trick Mirror, it placed me right at the center of the world and i felt involved!!! reading at the time in the moment really put into perspective how much we're all thinking of the same things that hurt us but weren't show how to express the hurt. also ahhh! need to read My Husband. waiting for it to come out in paperback heh
It was a GOOOOD reading month! And yes! I love how she pulled and prodded at the different ways we embody, exploit and shrink the self. It was such a full reading experience. And buckle up for My Husband, shes a fun one 😂
Very interested in reading Mrs. S & The Details. I also have a copy of Sheena Patel’s book that I’ve been meaning to read so now I’m more compelled to do so! Ripe is one of my go to books to hand sell as a bookseller at the moment and your thoughts are so spot on! The ending of the book left a lot for thought and I totally recommend reading Sarah Rose Etter’s The Book of X especially in the context of what the author is trying to do with her main characters and then all possibly being named Cassie… “a multiverse of Cassie” as I’ve heard her mention in an interview 😮
A multiverse of Cassie, woahhhhhhhh. Im going to put my hold in the library right now for that book! And I love that Ripe has been your go-to rec! Its such an "of the moment" book, and a wild mindfuck at that (i will NEVER get over the ultrasound scene). I hope you enjoy Mrs. S and the The Details!! And Im a fan is a ROMPPPPPP, hope you have fun with that one too!
Theres ONE scene -- and I know that as soon as you read it you'll know what Im talking about. And I want you to read it solely because of that 😂 UNREAL writing!
I feel the same way about rating books as you do! Its such a tricky thing for me! I feel like over time my opinion changes as well, hard to commit to a number haha
What an amazing collection of books you've read. Really loved I'm a Fan particularly, I thought her somewhat toxic behaviour was both justified by him stringing her along, but also reflected typically bad male relationship behaviour in a way that men reading it could learn from. Excellent reviews, quality editing. 😊
Totally! I think he destabalized her and that sort of tumult in a relationship can have you acting outside yourself for sure, but I also think she had some faults and could have benefitted from some major introspection 😂 I was totally invested in her journey! And aw, thank you so much for watching!☺️
This is why i stalk comments, it's a great way to find new channels 😂 4 minutes in and I've already had to pause to go reserve a book from the library 👌👌
YES to everything you said about I'm a Fan! Train wreck central! I genuinely think you'd know if you'd like the book just by reading the chapter titles 😂 my favourites were "first of all i didn’t miss the red flags i looked at them and thought yeah that’s sexy" and "d*ck from someone who doesn’t care if you live or die" 😂😂👌
HAHAHAHA i relate to this so deeply, 'cause sameeee! (Which book did you put on hold👀 Mrs. S???) And ive been toying with the idea of rereading it! Such a trainwreck in THE best way. The meme titles were my fav 😂😂 Thanks so much for watching, Beth! ☺️♥️
Hahaha oh no! Books written by MFAs, especiallllly those interrogating MFAs are my fav 😂 And you're a Murdoch fan -- not low brow at all! Though all are welcome, I'm very happy you're here
Hey hey! We have a very similar idea about book ratings. It’s hard for me to rate a book right after reading it as well. So happy to have found your channel. 🫶🏽
Hiii! I literally just subscribed to you last night, so funny (and delightful!) to see your comment today! Thank you so much for being here, and Im excited to follow along with your channel as well! ☺️
Omg you read some bangers this month!! Ripe COMPLETELY messed me up existentially as well lol! Like I finished it and was just pacing back and forth in my apartment for a hot minute. 🫠 Have you listened to the Reading The Room podcast? The episode interviewing the author of Ripe is fantastic. Also loved Really Good Actually, she is MESSY and I love her.
We need to create a support group for the post-Ripe reading experience 😂 I definitely just sat catatonic for a sec, too haha. YES! It was such a good interview, and had so many tender moments. Are you (or have you) read Book of X? Im soooo curious!
You’re my comfort booktuber, thank you for always lifting my spirits with your content 🤍
Wah this is so sweet Jess, thank you! 🥹♥️♥️♥️
books with unhinged obsessive female main characters are my obsessions
We need a club so we can fangirl because truly. The obsessive girlies book are a TREAT! 😂
"it's ok, you caught me at a good time, i've been reading a lot of esther perel" 💀
When I tell you I fell out of my chair!
You're a phenomenal Booktuber!
Please don't change,your style is unique and refreshing.
This is so so sweet and means so much 😭 Thank you for this, I honestly really appreciate it!
Finished Ripe this past week and Eep!! That book! I am so glad I was not the only one that got dystopian vibes from it!!
Totally dystopian!! I dont know how she managed to make me feel like I never wanted to be in that world but wholllllly familiar and smack in the center of that world at the same dang time?? So well done!
ripe is one of my favorites of the year for sure!! i was also tense af while reading and i felt an immense sense of dread while reading it??? but i had so much fun???? i loved it lol
THATS EXACTLY IT???? It was horrible and addictive and so much fun??? How'd she do that???? 😂
Come for the cozy vibes, stay for new books to add to my tbr. I'm going to look into The Details!
Eeep, thank you for being here! ☺️ And ugh, The Details was such a special book, I hope you enjoy it as much as I did! I really need to look up if any others have been translated by her
my husband is on my tbr so now i'm really excited to read it!!
Oooooh buckle in, girl! Its SUCH a fun read! I was just like NAHHH the whole time 😂 Addictive disbelief
so so so many bangers in this wrap up.
i remember when i first read Trick Mirror, it placed me right at the center of the world and i felt involved!!! reading at the time in the moment really put into perspective how much we're all thinking of the same things that hurt us but weren't show how to express the hurt.

so many of these peaked my interest! i’ve added a couple to my tbr 🤩
Oooooh let me know if you end up reading any!!!

So many of these sound so good! Definitely interested in Mrs. S now!

@@katsfieldnotes Well now I'm ordering it immediately! Haha I need to know!
the details and my husband are high on my fall reading list !! super excited to get to them soon now that i heard you talk about them
Eeeeep so excited for you to get to them! Such yummy reads for the fall, too!
I feel the same way about rating books as you do! Its such a tricky thing for me! I feel like over time my opinion changes as well, hard to commit to a number haha
Yes to the commitment thing! Ive never gone back to a rating and understood why Ive chosen that random number. Reinforces the lesson every time 😂

@@katsfieldnotes yep Mrs S! You had me at one-sided crush 😂😂
i'm with you on the ratings thing,, it just feels too limiting (?) a way to assess a book
Totally! I want a way to class my books but yeah ratings aint it. Maybe feelings- buckets is the way to go, idk 😂
hi frend!! happy freaking fall! you look so dang cozy!!
YAAAAY i’m glad september was good to us both!! YA GIRL READ 7 BOOKS!!
i love love love that your idea of sharing the rating on good reads & if you agree w it or not!
ugh really making me want to pick up the details! i feel like i’ll love it
LOL WILL DEF BE PICKING UP IM A FAN
PA QUE FUE ESO
Jumping in!!! 💦 🍂
So interesting about ratings - I often disagree with so manyyy
I also look at times in my life like chapters 🧐 - the details sounds so good 😯
I love ur use of the Royal We 😂
¿Pa qué fue eso? 😂😂 ☠️
Picking up my husband at the lib mañana y estoy bien pompiá!!!
I avoid all contemporary fiction, especially those written by MFAs; nonetheless, big fan of your nerdom as your sole low-brow follower.
Hahaha oh no! Books written by MFAs, especiallllly those interrogating MFAs are my fav 😂 And you're a Murdoch fan -- not low brow at all! Though all are welcome, I'm very happy you're here
