pickBook two from the 2025 Stella Prize long list finished. Can‘t recall how this came to be on my radar, but when I saw it recently announced on the longlist I bumped it up.
I really liked it. The first half felt a little bit clunky to me but then it hit its stride and I didn‘t want to put it down. Excellent #queerfic #ozfiction #bildungsroman
bailedVery early in the book I realized this is not for me, so DNFing. #hailthebail and another book off my physical tbr.
Took me a second to realize this was a feature but I feel like the cool kids now! #januaryreads
so-soThe synopsis made it sound much more exciting than it actually is. It felt long and kind of slow.

Definitely not the best story, unrealistic in many situations with annoying characters, but for me was entertaining🤷🏽♀️Maybe I was in my dark academia mood😂But not a good story so my pick classification is subjective 🤣
I liked how Sarah ended with her mother and so sad what happened with the person who committed the murder 3⭐️This book has low rating so it will be a so-so or pan for many readers.
pickI read this in fits and starts over the last few months and realized that with a well written classic like this, that you‘ve read as many times as I‘ve read this, there‘s no need to read it straight through to be completely immersed in the story every time you pick it up. You don‘t loose anything.

I‘ve never seen this one make biscuits on a book before! It‘s adorable! It‘s also totally time for him to stop this and find a place to curl up so I can get on with my reading 😂 #catsoflitsy
I got a 20+kg packet from my parents. The youngest book in the packet was from 1951. The oldest book - incidentally the only book I actually wanted to have - is from 1890-1, a Ladies' Magazine.
Now I have the fifth book of Goethe's complete works, a book by Gottfried Keller, a family bible (not my family's), a book of maps and a book of remedies. And the aforementioned magazine.
