i'm really looking forward to reading books from different countries and different cultures this year! 2023 was the year of romantasy, but 2024 will be the year of exploring new horizons and my realization that i don't want to be fixated on one genre
currently reading a thousand splendid suns and already feeling heartbroken

there's a scene where xaden says he knows how to handle the corset. my first thought was something like "well, he must have had a relationship before violet" but what if his experience with the corset dates back to when he was responsible for the other children of the rebellion. theoretically, xaden could be the big brother who would braid the little girls' hair and help with clothing. hence the corset skills.
i don't know if that makes sense

STOP making me think about rinezha. i can't do it anymore. enemies to enemies slow burn. enemies to begrudging allies to friends to *almost* lovers. then betrayal, and then they're just enemies who used to be in love. and they both *know* that they were in love, and maybe they are still in love, but they stand on opposite sides of a war because they've both made their decisions and cannot come back from them. there can never be reconciliation for the things they've done to each other, but god, they're still in love. i am literally eating drywall over them
