#post: 2025 reading thread #hello coconation i am trying to get back into the swing of things!!#i have knocked off 3/25 books on my 25 in 2025 list so far <3 #i can see why people love writers & lovers! and i think the way lily king wrote about grief really resonated with me #i really liked casey as a character but sometimes i was very frustrated with her i'm not going to lie!#the art of memory collecting ... unfortunately i fell victim to craftok's influences ... and i do not think it really taught me anything ne #but it is very pretty and i'm sure i'll look at it if i need inspo or something ... in the future ... at some point. ... maybe.#tom lake. wow oh my. my first ann patchett and i adored it; a beautifully written book made even better by meryl streep's audio narration #slower paced than what i'd normally enjoy but i never lost interest + honestly felt like one of the girls themselves #just sitting and listening to a story of my mom's past + trying to figure out what was next and trying to get a better understanding of her #and her choices it was just so brilliant and i loved it so #and then of course i had to reread our town <333333 #(and also watch the 1940 film after that but that is not the point here)#i also want to say that it is very clear that ann patchett loves our town + molded tom lake around it in a very careful + tender way #and then i read beloved by toni morrison and i had chills the entire time and it was brilliant & i will be thinking about it for a long tim
