Caraval by Stephanie Garber
"Sorry, but this book is overhyped
Okay, we get it he's hot 🙄
Also, the protagonist keeps saying her sister is the most important thing in her life.... is it? I don't think so..."

No, it's not the same at all. You can read something for academic reasons or to dissect the text. I do not believe in a single existing religion. Using your "gay" analogy, this is more like when a straight person reads Heartstopper. It doesn't make them gay to read it. It wouldn't make a gay person straight if they read the Notebook. ]]> UserStatus1014892092 Mon, 24 Feb 2025 01:34:30 -0800 <![CDATA[ Kay is 41% done with Kindred ]]> Kindred by Octavia E.

Hi Kelly! Thank you SO much for your comment, it made me feel that my reviews have truly been worth writing, which means more than you'd know. I'm doing so much better these days, thankfully. Thank you so much for your beautiful words <3

I hope that you are doing well. I personally believe that one's past struggles can do so much to positively shape us if we work through them. Sending lots of love! ]]> Comment286910625 Sun, 09 Feb 2025 08:28:00 -0800 <![CDATA[Kay commented on Jenny's review of The Winds of Dune]]> /review/show/7225013115 Jenny's review of The Winds of Dune (Heroes of Dune, #2)
by Brian Herbert

Lovely review. This makes me want to get into the Brian Herbert books since I've mostly heard that he hadn't captured the essence of Frank's philosophy, but I do miss Lady Jessica so I'm giving this a go! ]]> Comment286910225 Sun, 09 Feb 2025 08:18:24 -0800 <![CDATA[Kay commented on Kay's review of Green Almonds: Letters from Palestine]]> /review/show/2493271033 Kay's review of Green Almonds: Letters from Palestine

Hey Yan. If you check when I reviewed this, it was nearly 7 years ago. I did read this book, I was trying to convey that I don't know where to start with it. I added an update to explain I support Palestine and likely didn't have enough of an understanding at the time to review this properly and as it deserved. Your criticism is valid, but my opinions and attitudes have since changed. ]]> UserFollowing319956751 Tue, 21 Jan 2025 02:34:10 -0800 <![CDATA[Kay is now following Persephone's Pomegranate]]> /user/show/123893338-persephone-s-pomegranate Kay is now following Persephone's Pomegranate ]]>
