You know what I really enjoyed this novel! This is such a creative perspective as a chameleon and honestly very cute imagining it too. Also I couldn’t stop thinking about the song ‘Karma Chameleon’, hence the title of this blog – it just fits so well. Anyways, let’s jump into it! Starting with the narrator, […]

okay, “Money to burn” was the drama. I feel like really haven’t seen as many books with this criminal, dystopian genre so I’m glad we added this to the mix. If I’ll be honest I’ve never been too much of a fan of crime stories, (aside from my annual true crime TikTok story time that […]

Well this is one of those books that leaves me with an unnerving feeling after finishing it. THIS WAS GROSS MAN. “The lover” was not a good title, should’ve went with “The groomer” instead cause all I read straight illegal activity. Let’s take this from the beginning, I think I originally chose this novel because […]

What the freak man. ‘If on a Winter’s Night a Traveller’ was genuinely so trippy I am half confused but also very intrigued. To start off, i’ve never read something with this writing style before, my actions being narrated by someone else felt weirdly unsettling and kinda like a tutorial for how to feel/act. I […]

First things first, this book was strangely comforting to read. I enjoyed how the Rodoreda’s writing was smooth and simple just a description of Camila’s day to day life, raw and human, I guess it just felt relaxing the way it was so familiar. Now onto the actual story, the progression from seeing the relationship […]

I really enjoyed this book! Hallelujah our first female author yayy:00 (plus she’s Chilean ultra cheer!!) Starting with an overall reflection, I loved how this novel was depicted. The whole concept of death and how it is entered through reflecting on your lifes journey – heavily including all who were involved in it is sweet! […]

At first reading, I was gonna title this “nadja or nada” because the book well – wasn’t too appealing/ frankly boring to me BUT midway through I changed it because… well you know if you chose this book. I’ll be transparent and say I have a lot of mixed thoughts and confusion after reading this, […]

Alright! I have my thesaurus open and I’m ready to overuse it. My first impressions reading ‘Combray’ is that I find myself re-reading a lot. Maybe i’ve fallen out of practice but if so, i’m glad this is the start of me rebuilding my trains of thought. Note 1 – The authors writing feels more […]
