Book Favorite

"Giovanni’s Room is one of my all-time favorites by James Baldwin, a master of deconstructing the American character and social temperature during an era in which novels that explored race and queer love were few and far between, at best."

Book Favorite

"An aging drag queen falls in love with a young revolutionary in Pinochet’s Chile. It’s a crime that Lemebel is so little known in the English-speaking world. This is one of the great novels of the past half century."

This is one of those romance novels that reviews encouraged me to keep on reading. Like everyone else (most probably), I hated Luke at first because I really couldn't stand "the disabled kid being the world's biggest brat" trope, but that quickly changed after I got through the first few chapters.

Sometimes as I read novels, I question why characters get together (like the majority of romance novels), but for this one, I was so happy that they did. For a party guy, Zach is the nicest person I've ever read about in my life. And I feel so bad for Mandy because though I didn't grow up in an abusive household, but I've been in her shoes for taking care of my little sister, too.

I really don't wanna spoil the book, but it really turned in places I didn't expect, and I really hope that people will read this.

This show is an amazing dystopian series based on a couple of novels. I really enjoyed the show and how it speaks about people being forced to do thing they don’t want to and it puts a whole new perspective on rape too.

Book Favorite

"Still the most satisfying of Kelman’s novels. I reread it recently, and it seems to have gained even more potency through time. We’ve all been Patrick Doyle, going into a place of work, and even through your life, and feeling hopelessly, utterly miscast."
