Cursed Bread by Sophie Mackintosh
4.0
“To give my confessions nobility, now I think of myself as biographer, archivist, witness, doing the important work. Who else will remember? Who else will make it good, make it beautiful, make sense of it all?”
Heard that this was a fictionalized account of a real life town that succumbed to mass hysteria because of bread (?) and was immediately intirigued. Intriguing is the least I could say about this novel. It was hypnotizing, homoerotic, fiendish in its prose, and absolutely baffling from start to finish. A fever dream of daily life and dynamics. The whole book I was wondering when the other shoe was going to drop and then oh…there it was, in all it’s gore and glory. Loved it.

Yellowface by R.F. Kuang
4.0
Juniper Hayward was an exhausting, horrible voice to read, but my god, did R.F. Kuang write her well. This was such a biting glimpse at the book industry, and an even more scathing treatise on white women and tears. The ending was masterful, and I’m never going to think of a Very Berry Hibiscus Refresher in the same way ever again.
