LOL same same....I work and I'm like oh look, work email .....scrolls reddit

enjoy the books that everyone has reco'd! I'm also perusing and adding to my TBR after I finish my current book (Cloud Cuckoo land which is another book that took me forever to stick to and I'm so glad I came back to this because it's damn good. Same author as All the light we cannot see and holy shit, this dude can fucking write ).

Bruhh I bought all the light we can see years ago and its rotting on my shelf. I've started it from the beginning thrice idk why the hell I can never get thru. The problem is I've gathered so many new books over the years that the I cant bring myself to look at the old ones lmao

All the light is so beautifully written it fucking hurts..... I have never said that about any book before and I've been consistently reading for over 35 years. I'm not one to fawn over beautiful prose and all that but goddamn, that was an incredible book. I read The Nightingale right after and holy shit, two incredible books back to back it was almost as good as sex. Those two books gave me massive book hangover for months. Ever had that? when you read a book/books so good that everything else after it enrages you because it's no where near as good and you scream THIS FUCKING SUCKS at everything else? Just me? alrighty, then.....

I reco'd all the light to one of my friends AND SHE CALLED IN SICK AT WORK AND FINISHED IT IN ONE DAY lol.
