loved hearing your thoughts on lapvona!!

@Mapletron Год назад

Hi! I loved your review of The Temporary. It struck me while reading it that she possibly stayed in the relationships because she liked his pal? And that he stayed in the relationship to keep his friend away from her. All that also seems very 90s I suppose.

@r.enee.morris Год назад

Maybe in the end but during most of the book I felt like Francine just wanted the attention and Ralph was a bit of a narcissist.

@bibliosophie Год назад

love your thoughts on Women Talking -- really really beautifully put. have you seen the film?

@r.enee.morris Год назад

Thank you Sophie. I have not seen the film but I must, have heard the adaptation is really good.

@katsfieldnotes Год назад

Literally panic-texted someone about Women Talking because we started to shift it down the TBR, but obvi that was rectified after your take on it

@katsfieldnotes Год назад

Beloved is in a class of its own!

@r.enee.morris Год назад

That friend is lucky to have you. 💜

@r.enee.morris Год назад

Top tier novel territory

Fantastic video! Beloved is a book I want to read again. I appreciated your thoughts on Cusk's book. I've only read Second Place and I really loved it. However, it hasn't compelled me to want to read through all of her works.

@r.enee.morris Год назад

I’ve read all Cusk latest fiction and love her writing, so far her early fiction is an interesting time. Second Place was/is perfection.

whew! what a month im sold on women talking & beloved! curious to see if your feelings on pure colour change after some time - i felt similarly but now remember it really really warmly. & lapvona definitely should have come with some sort of parental advisory sticker haha i was so caught off guard as well

@r.enee.morris Год назад

I know you’ll have brilliant thoughts on toews and beloved so buzzing for that. I’m contemplating rereading pure colour to see what I missed the first time. Lapvona needs an explicit content sticker on the front - omg books should actually do that.

@nathansnook Год назад

this video came at the right time! was actually thinking of reading Jane bc it's poetry month! loved your thoughts on Red Parts

@r.enee.morris Год назад

The book universe does what it does to provide

@rebareads Год назад

I want to go back and reread Beloved after watching this! I totally felt the same about Lapvona. Really too graphic and gross for me to completely enjoy the reading experience but I liked talking about it afterwards.

@r.enee.morris Год назад

Good discourse can salvage an unenjoyable book for me. I endorse a Morrison reread for you.

@Sinikiwe840 Год назад

I am also trying to go through Cusk's body of work. So far 2nd place and outline trillogy my faves. I am struggling to get into her earlier work and non_fiction . Looking forward to your review🙂

@r.enee.morris Год назад

Cusk newest fiction is a whole different ball game to her older stuff. I enjoyed The Last Supper from her if you haven’t given that a ho already, have her memoir aftermath on the cards this month as well.

@dinaklarisse Год назад

"the most beautiful exploration of decision-making" I am so adding Women Talking to my list, love the idea of the politics and social climate of a women-led community

@dinaklarisse Год назад

on Pure Colour, I almost wish Heti had either chosen art and artistry or grief within the context of the different versions of the universe/types of people (was it fish, bird, and something else?). I did like the book overall, but it felt like she was trying to fit all of these themes into one chosen concept and at times it felt convulated and forced

@dinaklarisse Год назад

I JUST checked out Lapovna, hmmmm I still don't know how I feel about Moshfegh but I'm looking forward to seeing her narrative style in a different genre

@dinaklarisse Год назад

Aaaah Beloved was my very first Morrison. Also trying to savoring Morrison's books as I read through them slowly since we have a limited number of her works😔

@r.enee.morris Год назад

I hope you enjoy Toews, it truly felt powerful to read and so obviously right. I’m keen to reread Heti and give a second chance because I know there is something in it I maybe missed reading it the first time. Moshfegh has a great mind, I’m really excited to see Eileen adapted for film! Toni Morrison has my heart forever, I might need to start reading her children’s fiction when I do run out.

@ameliareads589 Год назад

My favourite book in March is in German and unfortunately not translated, so I can't recommend it to you. But I read a very interesting short story collection, Friday Black by Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah, which I really liked.

@r.enee.morris Год назад

Black Friday I have seen floating around but never looked into proper but I trust your taste Amelia.

@ameliareads589 Год назад

@@r.enee.morris You have to be into weird and dark. And the writing is very much like George Saunders.

@bookladyreads Год назад

Friday Black is wildly imaginative and creative. We're going to be reading his upcoming novel Chain-Gang All Stars over the summer, which I'm really looking forward to.

@r.enee.morris Год назад

I like the sound of imaginative and creative
