Yeah gd you SLD for that quote on the cover

The intro really had me excited. Ultimately there is dare I say too much going on here. Happy to have read and as a whole very solid. Recommended for folks who want to read the classics of the genre.
Rating: 4/5
Final verdict: read it.

This cover is better

Really trying to read my physical book collection. Managed to get through 5 and 1 from the library. Favorite was space Invaders by Nona Fernandez which was just outstanding #booksky 💙📚

Ha

My bad. BLRW is good..ish. I have to say that it could redeem itself further on in the series (this is book 1). It has way too many characters and is very plot heavy. I honestly wasn't invested until page 400 which is criminal imo.

I mean it's Frankenstein but in Iraq. You really can't go wrong.

Penguin paperback of Frankenstein in Baghdad by Ahmed Saadawi

What a delightful story so far #booksky 💙📚

Finished the netflix version of three body problem and honestly....I liked it. Not sure why people were hating on it. #booksky

I have not tackled Ulysses yet. Im not ready.

Trump's USDA is hiding the data on food stamp cuts The agency's food insecurity survey was pointless "liberal fodder," a spokesperson said.

Thanks to Trump's Big Beautiful Bill, millions of adults aged 55 to 64 may now be locked out of SNAP if they’re not able to work.

And in a one-two punch, the USDA has terminated its annual food insecurity survey, making it impossible to know just how devastating Trump’s cuts will be.

Mine is Toni Morrison's The Bluest Eye

Lmao

Sweet. I love when I see reviews of things to not read

This year I am going to try some book journaling. I want to prioritize quality, getting more thoughts down for each on what I liked and disliked, in hopes of retaining more about each. #bookjournal #booksky
