Have accidentally ended up reading 6 books at once. How did this happen. We’re smarter than this
#‘we’re’ is just referring to me. there’s no collective here
#anyway i know damn well it’s a bad idea for me to read more than 2-3 books at once because i end up setting at least one to the side
#for so long that i either forget what happened in it or lose all enthusiasm or both and have to dnf
#but. my brain keeps going ‘bök :)’ and i just end up picking up more of them
#does anyone want to know what books they are? well i’m going to tell you anyway
#first one i picked up was milk fed by melissa broder. it’s a pretty compelling and easy read; i’m like halfway through
#but for some reason i just keep putting it down for several days at a time. it’s just not grabbing me
#second was slouching towards bethlehem by joan didion which is absolutely brilliant but i just don’t feel i have the braincells
#to adequately appreciate it right now. i really should stick to reading one nonfiction book at a time (will get to the other one soon)
#third is jackdaw by kj charles and i’m 3 chapters from the end but i accidentally spoiled the ending for myself and now i’m trying
#to convince myself to continue. i mean. i Will continue. i don’t dislike any of ms charles’s work that i’ve read
#it’s just difficult to convince myself. this one just.. is not my favourite i won’t lie
#i absolutely love jonah but i’m indifferent to ben and i’m kind of feeling like this could’ve been a short story rather than a 200 page book
#next one i picked up was into thin air by john krakauer. other nonfiction book. again; i don’t have enough braincells
#but i’m really liking it. i feel like i have to convince myself to finish it soon so i don’t forget what’s already happened
#fifth is a reread of the starless sea and honestly i know the first time i read this it took me kind of a while so i’m not that concerned
#that i keep stopping and starting. it’ll grab me again soon
#sixth and final is the ascent of rum doodle. my mom told me to read it when she found out i was reading into thin air & had watched sherpa
#i’m only 30 pages in but it’s such a great satire. it won’t take me long to read at all
#in summary i’m going to need everyone to leave me alone over the weekend so i can make a dent in these books
#i can definitely finish jackdaw; milk fed & rum doodle soon & probably follow those up with thin air
#tss & stb will take a bit longer but those require and deserve my full attention
#plus i can get back to them literally any time i want. i already know the plot of tss & stb is literally essays so it’s fine
#next up.. i have a couple of books about teaching i want to read because i can pass that off as cpd
#then i’m hopefully going to reread drowning in fire and then maybe try to finish the magpie lord spinoffs
#should be fun!
#personal
