“What is a game? It’s tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow. It’s the possibility of infinite rebirth, infinite redemption. The idea that if you keep playing, you could win. No loss is permanent, because nothing is permanent, ever.”

“What is a game?” Marx said. “It’s tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow. It’s the possibility of infinite rebirth, infinite redemption. The idea that if you keep playing, you could win. No loss is permanent, because nothing is permanent, ever.”

Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow, by Gabrielle Zevin I really read this one ages ago, over #Ithacon weekend, while I spent the rest of my time demoing our games, playtesting a new game, and talking about game design. Such a strange feeling. #Tomorrowx3 is all about game design and creativity, what parts of ourselves come out in our games, and which parts of our relationships come out in games and game dev. The main characters are the right age for Oregon Trail memories, and there’s a running joke about the classic You Have Died of Dysentery. But this is more about friends riffing on a shared experience, this isn’t a novel of gamer references (I'm looking at you, Ready Player One). The games, real and imagined, exist to tell the story of creativity, friendship and love.

wait i’m curious as to what books you routinely read the new 1-2 star reviews on… i do the same thing lmfaooo

theres a couple and they change around as i read new stuff but the core atm is tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow by gabrielle zevin which for me is like if that book has zero haters i am dead. genuinely still waiting for people to burst out from behind a curtain and tell me all the critical acclaim that book got was a joke. and then more recently days at the morisaki bookshop which is probably the worst book i read this year but NOT the one i hated the most. the one i hated the most and whose bad reviews i routinely check is on the savage side by tiffany mcdaniel...think i hated this even more than tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow tbfh like i got a hardback copy (second hand thank god) and genuinely dont believe it was worth the paper it was printed on like it was garbage. also memorial by bryan washington which was awful but not so intense a hatred that i kept coming back to the reviews once id finished it...if i love a book i will read zero reviews for it but if i hate a book im reading every review i can find filter 1-2 stars sort by newest addition i DONT play. would LOVE to hear what books you revisit to read bad reviews of anon please spill in fact anybody who does this please spill..tell me what books you are an all time hater of unrecommend me a book please i love to gossip!!!!

anyone know books similar to tomorrowx3?

[thegreatimpersonator]

here to give you updates that will annoy you:

babel didn't win (i still haven't read it this slump is so annoyingggg😔) sjm did instead (i think she basically set the motions for a crossover of her series in this book so....)

best romance went to book lovers by you know it 🤪

but in good news best memoir went to jennette mccurdy (can't wait to read it) and best fiction went to tomorrowx3 (which has been so highly recommended i can't wait to read it when i get out of this slump)

sjm won over Babel booooooo ALSO SHUT UP I REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE FACT THAT BOOK LOVERS WON. tomorrow x3 has been on my tbr omg i need to get to it soon

I finished Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow. I definitely enjoyed reading it, though the characters were not super relatable. I'm trying to think of interesting insights I had reading the book because I feel self-conscious about writing a vapid review. I was not very convinced by Sadie and Sam's relationship towards the end. This unshakeable unbreakable bond they supposedly had and all the symbolism surrounding it was over the top for me, especially the part about them getting married in Pioneers. The beginning of the book was very compelling, with the jumps between the present and Sam and Sadie's complicated backstory. I'm not sure what to think about Marx as a character. As much as Sam and Sadie referred to him as an NPC, I also felt that he was an NPC in the role he played in the book. Some people like a book based on how much they like the characters. If I ever write a book, I want to write a main character who is purposely unlikeable. Anyways for how large of a role Marx plays in the novel, I'm not sure what the author wanted to communicate through his character. Clearly something with all the treatment she gave him but I guess I missed it. I enjoyed the parts about making video games though. I thought the details of the games were very convincing, and I'm impressed by the author's imagination for game design. And overall, it was an enjoyable read that kept me turning the pages. I also thought that the author's treatment of smart people in general was apt and accurate, and I appreciated that it didn't lean in too heavily in that aspect either.

Houseboating... I've been telling people it was just okay, and I guess that's accurate. If you gave me prior knowledge of how it would be, I'm not sure if I would go again. But I'm not positive that I wouldn't either. so I guess it was ok. I tried a little bit to meet people but I was too fucking tired most of the time. I kind of regret not talking to Winny on the first night. It's so dumb that I still just revert to omg hot asian girl on trip I need to talk to her mindset. So maybe it's a good thing I didn't initiate a conversation then, and just kept reading tomorrowx3 lmao. I drove and slept in a shitty bed anyways, but I don't feel too miffed about it, its truly whatever. In the words of George, "fuck you tommy". I appreciated when Catherine was nice to me I guess. Honestly I think I'm being a little uncharitable to 69 circle. I think they were nice for the most part and some of them helped and almost all of the rest wouldn't have minded helping. And Tom seemed like overall a really nice guy. I think having two boats just made it so it was way harder to get to know everyone, and with that large of a group people just stuck to who they were comfortable with. Also didn't help that Kevin and Sammy didn't really want to get to know people either. Meeting new people is hard compared to people who've been practicing their whole life.

Finally.. Oyasumi Punpun. This manga hit me kind of hard. I was hoping to relate more to the main character, but honestly I couldn't because things kept happening to punpun, good and bad, to push the storyline forwards while nothing happens in my life. Nevertheless, the themes of wanting to hold onto some ideal while your life turns out nothing like you wanted seemed very real. All the hurt characters just struggling and compromising through life, was a message that I wish people who had happy lives would understand. I didn't really understand punpun's actions after he killed Aiko's mom. I guess it's because i've never murdered someone or been in a similar situation of panic and disorientation. I wonder if the author somehow had insight into that. I really liked how the ending fizzled out. I think it's the best ending punpun could have hoped for. I feel like the author's view of life is darker than mine. I feel like I weigh everything down these days by forcing it to my standards of realism. I wonder how to regain that childlike suspension of disbelief with media. Did I ever really have that?

I have to message Abby about reading tomorrowx3 but I don't really want to. It's gonna be a boring superficial conversation between two people who don't really want to talk to each other. That's what it feels like to me. what if I don't really want to talk to anyone? that attitude is what's gonna get me killed.

🌊☀︎BOOK REVIEW☀︎🌊 

SHE IS FINALLY HERE, and she is more gorgeous and more glowing than I have ever imagined. 

"This is my first book from her but let me tell you or more precisely let me warn you dear reader; This is a love letter.

A love letter to this absolute therapeutic soul balm of a book.

A love letter to @gabriellezevin and her introvert Mario-mustache 🥸 and a love letter to @tri.northern from @vintagebooks 

Because she was kind enough to grant me an ebook version of the book when no one else would have done this due to my newborn state in the book blogging community.

The first thing that came to my mind when I was reading this book was that the author; Gabrielle, truly loves and cares about her characters.

Both Sam, Sadie, and Marx felt very close to me; their personalities were so emotionally raw that I instantly cared about them.

I also love when the characters feel like they are actually alive.

Making their own decisions and living their own life in this parallel realm where the author ultimately becomes this very sensitive satellite.

Collect and receive data from them and then send it over to us in the form of a gorgeous bouquet of words."

“Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow” by Gabrielle Zevin – Book Review @VikingBooks @PenguinRandomCA @PenguinCanada #TomorrowX3 #TomorrowandTomorrowandTomorrow #NetGalley

“True collaborators in this life are rare.” I chose this book on the author’s name alone because I loved her novel “The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry“. This one was completely different in every way but I loved it just as much. Anyone who dismisses the idea of reading it because it is about ‘gamers’ will be missing out on a fantastic book. Fredrik Backman wrote books that were, at first glance,…

i’m currently 2/3 of the way through my current read (tomorrowx3) and am just in awe of the complexity and tangibility of the characters 😭✨✨ everyone is a mess but i love them all. the gaming concept is WONDERFUL and so full of creativity. the writing, as expected, is excellent. i read the author’s previous work and had very similar feelings for the writing and characters. everything is great, and i’m really enjoying the book so far 🥹 hoping i can finish it by this week! 🤍 have you read tomorrowx3? #penguinpreviews https://www.instagram.com/p/CiaPJWdPUmD/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
