The Eighth Life by Nino Haratischvili. There was just something mesmerising about this epic book for me.

Cobalt Red by Sidhart Kara. Such an effectively and well written and researched book about an important and horrifying subject.

Myrish swamp.

I eventually loved the book, but I don’t think it establishes Red and Blue as enemies/rivals well enough in the beginning. I enjoy the relationship but it happens simultaneously very fast and very slow – I’m a bit of a lazy reader and generally need more story along with the prose (which I did find beautiful.)

Is that an actual quote from the book? 🫣 Is the reason George RR Martin hasn’t finished Winds of Winter because he ghost wrote the sex scenes for Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow?

(I DNF’d that book so never got to that part.)

Something something Harry Quebert by Joel Dicker. Don’t remember the whole title despite finishing the whole ridiculously long book. I’ll give it 1,5/5 stars, the 0,5 comes from the actual mystery being pretty intriguing (hence me finishing the book at all.) Other than that it’s disgusting drivel with awful characters. The whole plot revolves around a “romance” between a 30-something man and a 15-year-old girl and almost no one sees anything too wrong with it in the story, that tells you everything.

I’m reading Drowning right now. It does read like a B movie screenplay haha but I quite enjoy it nevertheless. I love everything airplane related.
