I picked this because Books are Sick put this as #8 on his top 10 favorite books on YouTube @ 00:04:20. I liked it. It was cute. I am surprised to see he put it at #8. It was a single night listen though.

I thought this was fine. I am really starting to think that I have a different taste than the Booker Prize judges. I think I saw some of the symbolism, etc. but I wasn't blown away. I also found the end hard to believe.
If it's okay to be a transvestite then its okay for a racist to be one. What's not okay is to be a racist.

Honestly, I felt like vestcody (instagram) and Oprah steered me wrong. I found the first part to be incredibly upsetting but I could get over that. The second (or third?) was okay but dragged on too long. I distinctly noted around 75% was I losing interest and was ready for it to be over.

I generally enjoyed it but found the third and final part to be very slow.
Interesting side note, this is the first book in a long time, if not ever, where I had to turn it down to 1.4x instead of 1.5x or more.

Enjoyable. Cozy and fun. Not that it matters, but I liked Sangu Mandanna - The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches more.

This was intense but also very good. It is, by a wide margin, the most I've ever cried while reading a book. Like absolutely balling my eyes out and having to stop what I was doing. I guess that is a testament to both the writing and the horrors of the time.

I hated this book! I found Pippi to be insufferable and fake. And it was super "problematic" in so many ways, including playing with guns

I enjoyed this. It was fun and introduced me to more Greek mythology. The narrator also did a good job with the different voices
