Immediately, the writing of this book surprised me（´∇｀”）I didn’t know it was written recently, so the short, punchy sentences were not what I expected. Still, despite how seemingly to-the-point and emotionless the sentences were, the overall raw feeling of this book made it so that it took a bit more effort for me to read, […] read full post >>

I don’t really know what exactly I should be talking about in this blog. However I’ll start by talking about how I kept kicking the stone down the road when it came to my literature requirement. I didn’t really get the logic behind a science, literature or writing requirement. I completed the science and the […] read full post >>

To be completely honest, the title of this book absolutely made me go back and listen to the Elvis song by the same name. That was on loop during this book. But that’s a side tangent. In all honesty, at the start of this book I didn’t love the fact that it was in first […] read full post >>

I just finished Love Me Tender by Constance Debré, and I feel a bit conflicted about it in a way that actually made the experience more interesting. Going into it, I wasn’t expecting something this emotionally heavy. The story follows Constance after she loses custody of her son, and that situation kind of hangs over […] read full post >>

Reading Love Me Tender by Constance Debré felt kind of like being dropped into someone’s brain mid-thought with no filter, no neat explanations, just raw emotion and sharp observations. It’s definitely not a traditional narrative, and that’s one of the first things I noticed. The writing is stripped down, almost blunt, and it moves in […] read full post >>

Reading “Love Me Tender” was a very interesting experience. The writing felt a bit similar to “The Book of Chameleons” in that some of the chapters are extremely short and the narration is simple to understand.I like that Constance decided to live her ... read full post >>

There are a lot of topics in this book that shook me to the core. What does it mean to be a woman? Moreover, a gay woman? Moreoverover a gay woman who’s a mother. Because of this book, I questioned my perception of love, whether I was seeing things through too much of a fantastical lens, whether I got love all... read full post >>

I wanted to start by saying, I am not one who is particularly interested in literature/ i usually dont enjoy literature courses, but RMST 202 and the teaching team has changed my mind. I loved how i could freely state however I felt about the books I’ve read, without worrying abt it being correct in […] read full post >>

I can’t believe its the end of the semester already. Coming to the end of this course, I keep thinking about how every book we’ve read felt so different on the surface, yet somehow kept circling back to the same questions. At the beginning, I thought I would be reading a series of unrelated novels. […] read full post >>

I can’t say I’m not relieved that the school year is ending, but I still can’t believe how fast this term felt. I signed up for this class completely on a whim. I remember finding this course on a Reddit post at 2 a.m., and thought, sure, why not? I had no real idea what […] read full post >>
