Time Is a Mother by Ocean Vuong

“do you never find yourself daydreaming about something or other?”
“no,” i said, humbled. what would i have daydreamed about? i loved andrée above all else, and she was right next to me.

A Vindication of the Rights of Woman by Mary Wollstonecraft
5.0
a work of hard fact and common sense; a masterful rhetoric. essential, fundamental reading.
If We Were Villains by M.L. Rio
2.0
good dark academia book! a little pretentious. cute characters, good depth- just not outstanding.
The Magic Toyshop by Angela Carter
4.0
finishing an angela carter book is almost always like waking up from a nightmare you were both horrified by as a participant and enjoying immensely as a sadistic spectator, narrated by some sort of omniscient god and remembered patchily with some spots filled in for you by your overactive imagination, and i can’t say i’ve ever finished one without deep confusion and a great desire to read it again.
by which i mean: carter is bat-shit crazy and this book was nonsense, but quite fabulous and expertly crafted nonsense.
