Kew Gardens by Virginia Woolf
3.0
"Wordless voices, breaking the silence suddenly with such depth of contentment, such passion of desire, or, in the voices of children, such freshness of surprise; breaking the silence?"
People weren't lying when they said Woolf's work were beautifully written (2.75)

The Princess Saves Herself in This One by Amanda Lovelace
5.0
“that is what abuse is / knowing you are / going to get salt / but still hoping for sugar / for nineteen years.”
“i’m sorry / i wasn’t / the daughter / you had / in mind.”
Oh, wow. I’ve only really liked one compilation of modern poetry, but this collection is absolutely lovely and beautiful. No words(!) will describe the emotions I felt while reading the poems in this book, oh my god.
Again, beautiful– I want the words carved in my skin and in my bones

Inferno by Dan Brown

dnf at 40% ,, maybe in another time, i’ll find it in myself to want to pick this up again ITS GOOD, it is. though idk its kinda boring but maybe its bcs of the Italian references and not understanding them is what's boring me out (the first few
chapters were interesting tho) OH AND, the 100+ chapters
intimidate me (2.75 ⭐️)

Violet Bent Backwards Over the Grass by Lana Del Rey
3.0
“They say I come from money and I didn’t and I didn’t even have / love and it’s unfair” “I’m yours if you’ll have me / quietly or loudly / sincerely your daughter / regardless / you’re mine.” “you don’t want to be forgotten / You just want to disappear” “Paradise is very fragile and it seems that it’s only getting worse / Our leader is a megalomaniac and we’ve seen that before / but never because it was what the country deserved.” “because things that can’t be bought can’t be evaluated / and that makes them beyond human reach.”
—lines from the compilation that I really liked
(I’m not a huge fan of modern poetry by the way) Maybe I’m a little biased but… Lana Del Ray, your mind. Good lord. Favorite poems: Bare feet on linoleum, LA Who am I to Love You?, My bedroom is a sacred place now - There are children at the foot of my bed, and Paradise is Very Fragile
