#tfw you realize you aren't mutuals with someone anymore bc of a book post :(

@boysenpop You asked for this, now I'm doing it bc I've remembered how to read! I'm going to keep WC and WoF off this list because I've read both so much and my opinions are usually, "That's nice :)". Anywho.... Book that pleasantly surprised you:

The Great Gatsby, F. Scott Fitzgerald. I was expecting a book to sludge through because I was reading it for school, but was pleasantly surprised when it wasn't bad! I liked the vibes of the book and the complexity of Gatsby's character. Discussing it after reading it was extremely interesting to me.

Honorable mention: The Odessy, Homer. Took everything I had to read, loved the story itself.

Book that disappointed you:

Huckleberry Finn, Mark Twain. I HATE this book. I just cannot read it. I genuinely sat down, no distractions, and tried my HARDEST to read this, but it was SO FREAKING BORING to me that I just couldn't. Even the sparknotes would barely hold my attention. Someone could have held me hostage and said "I'll kill you unless you read this book and tell me the plot" and I would just hand them the book back and say "then do it."

Current read:

:) We are trying <3 The only "in progress" book I have atm is The Divine Comedy, Dante Alighieri. I would like to eventually finish reading it, but I've been saying that for years LMAO

Top 2 books on your tbr:

Plague Dogs, Richard Adams. Story about dogs :) Unsure much else about it. A family member needed to use Audible credits, so I found this randomly, and they gifted it to me. I also have the hard cover version, but I drive a lot for work, so listening is easier.

Watership Down, Richard Adams. (Just realized these both are the same author LMAO) Was recommended this by a teacher in like 5th grade instead of Warriors, continued reading Warriors and held a grudge against this book. Now that I'm not a petty child, I plan to read it in case my teacher wasn't just being disrespectful to a kitty obsessed child. Only time will tell.

Frick, uhhhh I guess it's my turn to tag folks @dirtplace-tunnel, @nmirah, @granitethesandwing, @who-is-this-weirdo, and @jaggedpeak
