Book 31/52. Martyr! by Kaveh Akbar.
May 10 to May 13.
I almost DNF’d this early on, but found some reddit posts where people said that the last 50ish pages are really worthwhile. They were right. It completely changed my view of the book. Overall I really enjoyed it. Four stars.
Technically I finished Yesteryear today, but 🤷
Best Read: Bird Suit. Highly recommend.
I Who Have Never Known Men was also a phenomenal read. I finished it in less than 24 hours because I couldn’t put it down.
Yesteryear was… fine. I should have known better than to expect true weirdness from something that’s already been optioned for a movie.
Currently reading a collection of Joan Didion essays, trying to pull myself through Blood Meridian, and next up are She Made Herself a Monster and Tender is the Flesh.
