every time i go to my parents' house i gotta stock up on books left over from high school/college. this time it's all #queerlit. not sure if my younger brother knew what kinda treasure trove he was sitting on! #shelfie i guess?

Well, Libby is currently too buggy to allow me to check out even one book, but I like their extremely polite and transparent request for app permissions! (I really wish I could like it as much as I want to but it's just. always. broken.)

(tagging the Encyclopedia Britannica bc I think it can handle my mean technology opinions)

was so glad to finally read this. Honestly I thought I would love it just bc it's a queer coming of age graphic memoir (and I did) but I also saw a lot of elements of my own teenage depression/frustration in it & I was both surprised & touched. thanks Tillie 💜

I think I need to start reading better books, because this is like nothing I've ever read, and I want to read it forever

The Argonauts | Maggie Nelson
Pickpick

Update: finished it. And you know maybe I'm being too salty and maybe it's just that Maggie Nelson reminds me of myself (the passages about being a perfectionist, whew!) but I felt like it could have been less detached and dense! Can't believe this one queer woman's memoir wasn't everything I wanted it to be UGH. The best parts--and they were very very good--were more based in experience and less in endless citations. I'm salty I'm sorry.

Centique Thats a good review - not too salty at all! 7y

I am way late to the party on this one--I tried reading it when it came out but honestly I think I wasn't ready for it. There's still a lot more feminist theory here than I care to know about (tbh) but the queer internet was so excited about it that I wanna understand #queerlit #overdrive

I read this a few years ago in college & now I'm rereading since failure has been on my mind lately (also now I am way more familiar with video games, ha). It's a different read now--been taking lots of notes to figure out how I feel about it!
