I honestly thought this would be a quick one, it was not.
In this episode are the books I've read this year, so far, the ones I loved, the ones I didn't finish, and the one I want buried with me when I die. No full reviews, just vibes, honest ratings, and some unsolicited opinions on how you should be reading poetry (slowly, with breathing room, not in one sitting like it's a Subway order).
