Reading at Midnight

The Midnight LibraryThe Midnight Library by Matt Haig
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Formulaic and fun...?

So weird to have a feel-good moment after you realized the book started with a suicidal character. I dunno. Suddenly I feel guilty for feeling optimistic about the plot when in fact, the writer is simply profiteering with depression kineso like Hanya Yanagihara's A Little Life.

Sometimes, a book can give you a toxic positivity vibin'. Hays.

Silly Sally - My Third Read

Mr SalaryMr Salary by Sally Rooney
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

That's helluvah ton of kinikimkim na damndamin! It's a short story, but can actually be a part of a novel. Some say that this is her writing exercise before starting conversations with friends. It's weird though, this is the second time that I encounter a plotline depicting an electra complex. Naol nabibilhan ng bet nya sa shopping eme. Charot not charot.

My rating: 2 of 5 stars

Really? Reading a novel with a Russianism-fanatic character? In the middle of Russian imperialism to Ukraine? *trashtalk intensifies*
