Someone recommended this to me when I asked for book recommendations for books on apartheid. I was skeptical at first but my god this was an amazing book. Fascinating look at a childhood under a repressive regime and damn if Noah's love for his mom didn't have me sobbing at the end.

What an utterly charming book this is. Much needed.

Liberty I thought it was so much fun! 7y
Pesty1079 @Liberty I'm about 70 pages in but it kind of makes me miss working in a restaurant. 7y
Liberty Right? She nails it. I call it 'Showgirls in a restaurant.' 😂 7y
Pesty1079 @Liberty That is spot on. 7y

Little known fact about me is that I'm obsessed with Patty Hearst. Well known fact, I drink on Friday at lunch.

The Girls: A Novel | Emma Cline

I did not love this as much as everyone else did but I liked it fine. I thought it could have gone a whole lot darker.

Starting this puppy. Hear good things and also hear it's very sad. But sometimes sad is good and necessary.

This book is 🔥🔥🔥🔥. Giving me 90s feels, being a girl in high school feels, and Kurt Cobain feels.

Reading this for my book club and damn is it not fucking around. Quick read but one I'll have to revisit many times.

Gezemice I just finished it on audio and ebook from the library but I think I will need to buy my own copy so I can refer back to it. Too important to not have it. 8y

I found out recently that I went to elementary school with this author. It was already on my TBR list so it got moved up! Can't wait.

I wanted to not like this because I feel like everyone was so excited and I was sick of hearing about it. And then I read it and realized I was being an asshole and love Lauren Groff and this book is incredible.

We had an amazing launch party for this book last night. I want to just scream from the rooftops what a beautiful book this is. Martin's writing transports to the thick bayous of Louisiana and what it is to be queer amongst a queer land. Beautiful.

This book is so great. Like a more funny, more readable David Foster Wallace novel.
