I returned it to the library after 2 months of renewing it. I was listening to it through an audiobook for my family's car to listen to while driving by myself. But motivating myself to listen to it was difficult, and the book was honestly kind of boring in a lot of places. Maybe I will have to read it visually sometime. But I ended up only finishing 4 of the 10 CDs my audiobook copy came with.

realjame wants to read Grief is the Thing with Feathers by Max Porter
realjame stopped reading Walden by Henry David Thoreau
realjame reviewed Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad
Read it for English class, but it's good!
4 stars
Finished reading it for my English class a few weeks ago. I always like the books we've read in high school, but this book was nearly a different story. It was honestly a very difficult and confusing read. But reading summaries alongside the book, as well as making notes for assignments helped me understand the book, and combined with the way the book resolves, I kinda really like it? I don't think I'll reread it again, but I can see why it's such a classic.
realjame reviewed Monotone Blue by Nagabe
I wish gay snakes were real
5 stars
If you ever feel down about being excited but not having a tail to wag, you'll love this. Monotone Blue was indulgent (not just because of the tails). Also I loved the art and the composition of the panels, I don't really read manga so this was pretty swag. Good stuff, now I don't know what to do with my life having finished it. 👍

realjame started reading This Is How You Lose the Time War by Amal El-Mohtar
I saw a post on my Twitter feed yesterday practically begging people to read this book: "just go in blind and read it, it's only 200 pages, 4 hour long audiobook" they pretty much said.
And this is one of the books I got from my library last week, but I haven't touched it. So I'll accept this sign from the universe to finally start reading it.
realjame commented on Walden by Henry David Thoreau
I'm reading this from an audiobook I found at the library, gives me something to listen to in the car lol. I've never really listened to books through audio before, so I wonder if I'll absorb the information differently or finish it at a different pace or something like that. Also the last CD comes with an pdf ebook, wowee
