Crying In Front Of Mechanics Or Mathematics Was Not My Idea Of How I Was Going To Spend My Evenings As

In the goldfinch Donna tartt has the power to create a special atmosphere. I am not a native English speaker and even if I do not know the word the impact remains the same.The descriptive talent of this writer will always fascinate me.

So I’ve just finished to watch red white and royal blue and honestly I didn’t have much expectation but that was great !

I was literally giggling and kicking the whole thing because of my joy seeing Henry and Alex on screen. First of all,Alex actor was perfect. The first part of the film was so fun and gave a feeling close to when I was reading the book. The cake scene, the hospital scene etc… But, I expected it, when the love story started I was so disappointed that all the side stories were erased. The story of Béatrice, Alex freaking out about being bi (as a bi person it really matters to me), the personality of Nora, Raphaël and of course June (seeing Alex being an only child was heartbreaking). Most importantly, I missed the whole group of friends (and the kimono in the karaoke scene) that I think was so important to Henry's development. And I wanted a few little details like the quotes from Remus Lupin but it's just that I wanted an unrealistic 5 hour movie for this book. So yes the story had lost a lot of depth but again it was expected. Except, the romance was cute and touching and I'm definitely going to see it again (I have to reread the book first )

My biggest flex ? Using Saltburn and quotes Jacob Elordi in my french essay 🫡

So happy to have had Babel for Christmas. I already have the American edition so I can compare the translations, and I can't wait to see how the translator has adapted the meaning of the words in the French version!

And above all, I can't wait to meet the characters again. Babel is the book that really made an impression on me in 2023, and I literally quote it in all my French essays.

On the booktok there is this huge thing of "don't damage the books". And the whole "never break your spine" "no dog-eared page" thing pisses me off so much. Since I was a child I learned that the more the book is damaged the more we like it. And reading old books, I saw which page was read again and again. I want to see that the book had gone to the beach even if that means the page is crumpled. Books are literally a part of our lives, so it's only normal for them to look worn down from life.

I specifically remember this book when I was 8yo , Inkeart where the main character Meggie talk a lot about this and I think it has greatly influenced my way of being a reader (since I read this book I always keep my reading of the moment under my pillow)

Gradually falling back in love with studying 🫶

Doing organic chemistry always helps me enjoy what I study

I literally chose difficult studies (one of the most difficult courses in my country) to go beyond my limits, and I have the audacity to complain when it's actually beyond my limits.

The Black brothers.

narratives about doomed love that aren’t romantic in nature. the love between siblings who understand each other the most but are growing apart no matter how much they try to come back to one another. the love between friends whose life paths pull them apart and they never see each other again, only remembering the face of a once kind childhood. the love for a hometown that year by year becomes less and less the one that raised you until you are a foreigner in your own backyard. there was no stopping it. the love was there and it mattered and you can never come back again.

Reading jjk new chapter and seeing the new episode in a row was the biggest mistake I’ve ever made. Now I’m just going to cry for few hours…

I guess Cesar doesn’t like geology…
