i DO be reading!!!!! recent reads 📚

[@nathansnook]

everybody run. new cj video drop

[@nathansnook]

also very much care about wrap ups! please please give the people a wrap up!

[@lukehillier4343]

just joining the chorus to say your videos have def been missed, esp the vlogs!! you are objectively the best vlogger on booktube lol

[@freshtarmusic]

for what it's worth i think the newly translated "an apprenticeship or the book of pleasures" is definitely lispector's most accessible novel, and as amazing as anything else she's written!

[@sofiaparanhos9013]

I miss your vlogs!! And wrap ups!! And Lispector is insane, I recommend her collection of short stories!

[@nathansnook]

if you want to go through the very quintessential thick of it for Lispector, i say do it for the roach and read The Passion According to GH. if anyone can only afford one Lispector in their life, it's that one. but if that's too intimidating, Agua Viva is fantastic, but i say save it for when you feel you're entering some kind of threshold in your life. hope this helps!

You’ve reminded me how much I want to read The Heart… and of course haven’t. But now you’ve reminded me I must. Same with French Exit. Note on a bookish note but THOSE NAILS, love them. and that feline cushion in the background.

[@CJReads]

its so gorg i think youd really like the heart!

[@bibliosophie]

"woah she be writing" and "I don't understand what this book was about" are honestly perfect reactions to hour of the star -- lispector gets easier to understand the more you read her but always remains a little overwhelming in the best of ways. I second nathan's rec of reading passion according to g.h.

[@CJReads]

shes truly wild

[@litwithkat]

AHH that sunny’s mural!!!!! that’s gonna be so so cool!!!

[@sakinaalia1067]

I think the most accessible lispector is her first book near to the wild heart

[@Thepeejay]

I love this so many good reads! I love tge way you say honestly this didn't work for me. More vids please!

[@jacquelinemcmenamin8204]

I loved The Rachel Incident ❤

[@jen1jk]

Missed this face on the KZbins! We do miss your vlogs and reading wrap ups🤍

[@brynperry3740]

I’m so glad you liked the heart, it was my favorite book of last year and I never see it getting any love

[@parnissia]

Absolutely loved Beautyland!

[@whatpageareyouon]

CJ, I miss your wrap ups and vlogs v much! Speaking from the peanut gallery 🥜 Also thank u for also not liking The Guest! I didn’t get the hype ❎

[@nathansnook]

i still think about how much i HATED reading this! thanks for hate-reading it with me 😭

[@RyansBookshelf]

Love you comparing Caroline O'Donoghue to Dolly Alderton since they have a podcast together lol

[@alliebeesreading]

I don’t dress up but my 10 year old nephew is going to be a giant banana for Halloween 🍌

[@TheErikaB]

MOST CERTAINLY care that you haven't vlogged!

[@josephlastname]

Patrick deWitt simultaneously being a very successful Booker-shortlistee but also having no shooters online makes me so sad lol. the girls that get it get it

[@CJReads]

ok literally

[@BenjaminRazon-r6f]

I care!!!

[@yenasung]

Yay a new CJ vid!! Loved this catchup ❤ oo a new eula biss is always worth a gander. I have a feeling whenever I read lispector i too will convulse and shout “whoa, this is Writing!” The rachel incident is on my library hold! It’s the cover painting that did it, but im glad there’s more beyond 😅 Retail is wild indeed, emotional and financial ups and downs. Every slow period you gotta work your brain how to drum up more sales whether it’s new promo/flash sales or just straight up calling ppl to say Hey! You Want This, Right?!! 🥲
