What in the plot� getting insane whiplash from reading Brontë syntax right to this�

Oh YA i’ve missed you

I need a lil fairytale fantasy rn but wtf is this pacing??

Is this� a happy moment for Jane?

This book is genuinely INSANE
and it would still be insane if published today

Back ob ny rating change grind

Almost done!!

Very atmospheric

Covid being plot points in novels� uhh

Mr. Rochester Byronic hero era

Fascinating setting meets fascinating mind
obviously amazing

NOT HELEN!!

gonna have to read this in two weeks for school

pray for me (excited though)

fun fact me and Mrs. Didion are birthday twins so I'm henceforth obligated to read all her work now

"Broadside Ballads"- Passionate writing on the era when intertwining music and political activism was a radical act

"My Brilliant Friend"- Maggie Nelson seems like she had the intellectual prep-school HS experience I wish I had.
- Also gorgeous and meditative.
-Oh god I need to read more Ferrante.

still very good!

okay

I flirted with the bookstore employee to get this recommendation� and I bought it here we go

How much more trauma does little kilton have to take?

Pip you crazy bitch (affectionately)

"Love was where I always wanted to be. I guess I was already there."

- Leslie Jamison

Words! I love words and feeling!

A book where the short chapters work!

ACTUALLY CRAZY FOR THIS

I am now realizing "murder mystery that somehow focuses on true crime podcasts" is not a unique genre but somehow I am reading two of them at once.

Love love loved Jenn Pelly's essay on Lucinda Williams-- I want to listen to all her work now!

Juliana Huxtable's essay on Black women experimentalists was pretty good also, albeit with a too-wide scope

Great essays so far I love reading the passion of others for something they care about!

okk

Finally? Is that.. plot?

Actually in love with this story
