hard disagree that you're bad at communicating! I was first drawn to yr channel bc of how thoughtful and clear you are in reviews/wrap-us. you may be uncomfortable improvising what you say, but that's why you take pains to prepare yourself the way you need to. having to do homework isn't being bad at something; it's being good at something

Woooo Say Nothing! I think I saw you started Empire of Pain on GR too? Loved that one also. I would LOVE a new PRK for 2024!

@yenasung 6 месяцев назад

The prk hype is REAL. Yes. ❤️‍🔥

@thelefthandedreader6632 7 месяцев назад

I too enjoyed Eileen..not without some criticism, but yes. Women in Clothes will be up next for me in Sheti world. I’m taking a break for now.

@yenasung 7 месяцев назад

Oof i think you may find women in clothes delightful to read but long to get through but it’s definitely intriguing enough to continue! Definitely try to find a physical copy 🤞🏻

@litwithkat 7 месяцев назад

omg i was already wanting to read say nothing but hearing you & kat talk about it…i am gonna read it soon. adding it to my spring tbr!! its just been sitting on my shelves for at least a year now. i also really need to get to all this could be different! lovely wrap up yena!!

@yenasung 7 месяцев назад

Thanks Kat ❤️ I think my copy of say nothing had been sitting for…multiple yrs 😅 and even then i just skimmed the pgs as i listened to the audio

@anna_reads862 7 месяцев назад

I think Mrs. Polk is one of the main points but ****SPOILER ALERT**** so is Rebecca and the choice she makes when shit gets real. It reminds me of the college girl character in season 1 of "The White Lotus." Glad I haven't tried Paris yet. Sounds like one to skip. Everyone is raving about "Say Nothing" so I'm going to have to add that to my TBR. I still love Luster, not only for the writing, but for the very authentic portrayal of a New York that isn't magical or overly violent, especially with the protagonist growing up in the Capital district. Great video as always!!! Love watching you!!

@yenasung 7 месяцев назад

Oo great takes on eileen and luster which i didn’t even think about!! Young nyc life is soooo crazy romanticized even in its hardship but edie’s characterization is decidedly unromantic! Thanks Anna ❤️

Eileen was my first Moshfegh and I loved it. I liked the movie more than you did but I can't really defend it lol. I read Eileen and Luster around the same time and omg was I angsty. I own Say Nothing and Women in Clothes and I hope to get to them soon! Looking forward to a Feb wrap up

@yenasung 7 месяцев назад

Eileen + Luster = potent angst indeed! Say Nothing + Women in Clothes will be a really heartwarming combo even though topics are heavy it’s lovely to see the effort and care put into both books. I’m already shaking at the thought of feb wrapup covering 16 books when jan is already 45min for just 7 books 💀

@quinntessentialreads6496 7 месяцев назад

I also made my book club read Eileen a couple years ago and had a similar experience 😂. That's super interesting about not relating to Edie from Luster because you're more of an old soul. I *loved* Luster because my new-ass soul related so hard even though it's been a decade and a half since I've been Edie's age. Amazing video as always!!

@yenasung 7 месяцев назад

Lolol love that! The best i can do for my old-ass is to get in some new-new books as if im showing my own grandma self “look gran they call it 🧐 hooking up” 😂

@ameliareads589 6 месяцев назад

I also liked the writing in Luster, but I found the story to be paper thin. And although I'm not really a reader for the plot, I just was lost in this story. I needed more background work to understand these people and less coincidences to move the story forward.

@yenasung 5 месяцев назад

Yes, that’s what I felt about it too! It’s not like it’s plotless - I felt the need for structure. Nevertheless its chaotic vibes carried through and resonated with a lot of readers so idk maybe it’s just not for us 🤷🏻‍♀️

@bibliosophie 7 месяцев назад

women in clothes looks gorgeous -- I've been curious about it, and my interest is officially piqued! prk 🍒 is... hmmm... I don't know (I do want to read say nothing tho)

@yenasung 7 месяцев назад

I think you as a very thoughtfully fashionable person would get a lot from women in clothes! Hope you find a physical copy 🙏🏻 you should definitely read say nothing - it’s like a very longform new yorker article on the ira.

@katsfieldnotes 7 месяцев назад

I missed seeing your face here! Hiiiiii! Okay, Ive been wanting to pick up another moshfegh but have been feeling very deer-in-the-headlights about which one to pick up next. Ill def go the Eileen route! And yes to Luster just being an onslaught of this is what it feels like to be in the hell den of your twenties! Im glad you gave it another read, if only to spend some more time with her yummy sentences.

@katsfieldnotes 7 месяцев назад

Hahaha the PSA. I love it 😂

@katsfieldnotes 7 месяцев назад

We missed YOUUUU! also Im tempted to scroll back and watch the og hand-vid reviews 👀 But will be eagerly waiting for that hefty 16 book feb wrap up!

The rereads are worth it 🙌🏻 thanks for the consistently good recs Kat 🫶🏻

@casskrug 5 месяцев назад

eileen and myorar are my 2 fave moshfeghs as well!! i feel like i haven’t heard anything great about the movie so i haven’t seen it yet. you saying that anne hathaway and her wig both overacted cracked me up 😂

@casskrug 5 месяцев назад

i feel you so much on needing notes to be able to get your thoughts out on camera!! i have a difficult time organizing my thoughts when just talking about a book on the fly. it doesn’t impact the quality of your videos at all though!!

@casskrug 5 месяцев назад

i’ve seen so much about luster but haven’t picked it up yet - hearing you talk about it has renewed my interest in it!!

@yenasung 5 месяцев назад

You should still watch eileen just for that overacting wig alone. You should definitely read luster it’s worthy of the hype. I’m in awe of ppl who can just…speak. Lol. I wish i had a writers room living in my brain to feed me what to say. And then actors to take over my body to perfectly convey the delivery.

Oh no!!! Would’ve thought you were a Paris stan! 😭 But you made some very good points about her privilege. We talked about it a bit, but loved your new findings and understandings with your rereading of Luster! Still a book I think that’s sharply written. Need to revisit it when summer rolls around hoho
