The deadpan delivery of "And I am happy to report this white man is still struggling" has killed me 🤣

Sorry to hear it’s been such a tough year and hope 2024 improves for you, my friend. Totally agree Melchor is a future classic author and Mauvignier = if Woolf had written a thriller. Yes! 💙

First of all, VERY happy and delighted to see you in a video! Oo so interesting to hear your thoughts on the right to sex as it’s a book i’ve been really desperate to hear other booktubers articulate on. Lol i technically dnf’ed disorientation and the birthday party but really what it was is i read the first couple pgs of both and decided wrong book wrong time. I’ll pick back up disorientation when im in a kookier mood and im definitely more motivated to resume birthday after your description of it! Sending you the warmest 2024 wishes with the exact right amount of books and relationships/situationships ❤

A girl's story is definitely my favourite Ernaux ! It has stayed with me so much through the years, I'm glad you loved it as well :) I have tried The Birthday Party but never got past the first 20 pages... I'll try again !

happiest of New Years to you, Alex. How much I loved along Live The Post horn this year. It was on my top 10 list! The reading experience of The Birthday Party, to me, was so unique.

I stopped giving star ratings to movies and books this year, it’s very freeing. Always great to hear your thoughts on what you’re reading! Have a happy new year!

I really look forward to your end of the year list, and this year was no exception!! I really enjoyed The Happy Couple too. To be honest I wasn't expecting much, so I was surprised by how invested I got. I think the narrative structure really enhanced the character study aspect of the book. And there are so many books on this list I want to read, but you really sold me on Disorientation, which I'd only heard of but hadn't really considered reading. I'm sorry it's been such a rough year, I hope 2024 brings you all the joy and good things!

In 2022 I read 52 books in 52 weeks. Then in 2023 I read 73 books and 14 of them fell in my top 40 of all time so the best reading year of my whole life in 2023 and so I figure take it easy in 2024.

I've also moved away from star ratings and tracking my reading online. I just have a notebook where I write the title and author and then leave half a page or so of space to jot down my thoughts as I'm reading or after I finish the book. I feel like this method helps me recall how I felt about a book better than a number based rating system.
