My latest library haul

 I got a sweet haul from the library this past weekend and wanted to show them off.

1. The Silent Patient

The cover is great but this copy felt like it was older than I am

This is the book I came to the library for. I had it on hold and picked it up. My friend told me about it and said (spoiler?) it has a twist. I know some people consider simply knowing that the story has a twist as a spoiler, but I kind of like knowing there's a twist because it keeps me engaged in what might otherwise be a bit of an underwhelming.

In full honesty, I just finished this book today. And (spoiler) the twist was indeed good.

Although the writing was a little bland, it was a super fast read with very short chapters, and the intrigue keeps you going. It's fun. Apparently it's going to be a movie with Anne Hathaway? Exciting.

 2. We Can Do Hard Things

I've never heard of this book before or anything. It just caught my eye because like look at it. It's eye-catching. It's cute. It's a good vibe book. I like the title. I opened it up and flipped around and it looks unique and eye-catching inside. I'm excited to try it out.

3. A Glitch in the Matrix

I've seen this book somewhere before (don't remember where; I've seen a lot of books in a lot of places) and it sounded interesting.

I thought it was cute that it's an influencer that talks about this stuff, seems like they're passionate about it. I like reading Reddit stories too and I've read a few spooky r/GlitchInTheMatrix stories before and they're pretty weird and freaky sometimes. So a whole book of them? Sure, sounds cool. I'm interested to see if they're just stories that people directly posted on Reddit or if there's some extra editing and commentary.

 4. Clamor

Going to the library, I told myself that I'd only get 3 books. I have to set these limits for myself but it can be hard because my little rat brain tells me I need to get all the books immediately or else I'll combust.

Anyways, I broke my limit but just by this one book. I mention it in an earlier post but I've been feeling more lately like the world has become so loud, mentally and visually and in a bunch of weird subconscious ways that I don't actively think about. Not sure if this book is going to explore any of those, maybe it just literally means like physical(? is it physical? auditory) maybe it just literally means like auditory noise and only auditory noise.

But we'll see! I'm pretty hyped about these choices, I think they're each fun in their own ways. 

 

CURRENT RAT EVENTS

It feels like work chewed me up and spat me out today. I think I did my best today and it kind of wasn't enough. One of those days. Now I'm just watching the wedding episodes of Love is Blind with my bf.
