*sigh* I wanted to like this but.......it was just so....bleh. I didn't feel any chemistry tbh. The ending left me feeling similarly to Sense and Sensibility: Bored, disappointed, and with the conviction at least one person in the final couples was settling. 

Beautiful collection! Vivid and precise language. My faves were :

Heaven
The Warning 
Nightly Detonation 
The Bulimic Soul Says to the Bulimic Body
Telling Your Best Friend
The Kittens 

SO incredibly important. It should be required reading for anyone concerned about the ongoing occupation of Palestine. It is also essential to have the historical context of the IOF and their treatment of palestine (as well as the global response) to be able to parse through and uncover propaganda and biased coverage from supposedly neutral or progressive organizations like the ADL, Amnesty International, UN, etc. 

It just gets better and better with every reread. I am spiraling back into LOTR obsession

Some of my fave poems from the collection: little beast, boot theory, litany in which certain things are crossed out, snow and dirty rain

Oof to the casual antisemitism. Although, not really surprising for the middle ages. My favorite tales were the Wife of Bath. RIP wife of bath, you would've loved dating apps. I also found the Clerk's tale very engaging (but depressing). Griselda....DUMP HIS ASS

Just not the right time for me

I found this engaging and sweet. The pacing was a bit off at times, and I found that some of the direct quotes from P & P annoying/pulled me out of the story between Mary and Tom

Super interesting! I feel like I have heard whispers about this cult but never looked deeply into it. Fascinating read and deeply troubling.
