    Happy Birthday!!!
    My Death is definitely on my list now! And I’m also so happy you talked about loving Writers & Lovers as well, I put it on my list foreverrr ago and you’ve rekindled my excitement about it!

    Happy belated birthday! I had the same issues with the first book in the Neapolitan Quartet and, like you, the people around me have been pushing me to pick up book two swearing I will change my mind. Knowing that you went through the same thing makes me much more inclined to scoop it up this summer.

    wooo woo happy birthday!! i rlly need to get to splinters soon, i feel like i would love it. also makes me so excited to hear you loved the last sane woman bc it’s one that got brought up as a pick for the book club im in & i hadn’t heard anything about it before!

    • @casskrug
      @casskrug  Pƙed měsĂ­cem +1

      thank you!! i can’t recommend splinters enough, definitely not a light read but it’s so well done. the last sane woman would be a great book club pick i think, there are a lot of themes and ideas to unpack!!

    Happy Birthday! I’m so glad to be reminded about The Last SaneWoman! I’m searching for it on my library site. 👏👏. Maybe I’ll try that second book of the Neapolitan series!

    Happy birthday!!!! My favorite book this year is Bad Cree by Jessica Johns. It’s a horror/mystery about grief

    • @casskrug
      @casskrug  Pƙed měsĂ­cem

      thank you!!! ooooh this one has been on my radar for a little while, seems like such an interesting way to explore grief!!

    hbd bb!!!
    OOF both you and Sophie have sold me on My Little Death! Will be waiting for the next NYRB sale lol
    also, if you are wary about Ali Smith’s prose from what you said about narrative, i say call it quits! i don’t think narrative structure is key for her. it really is exploration of language and wordplay.

    • @casskrug
      @casskrug  Pƙed měsĂ­cem

      thank you â€ïžâ€đŸ”„
      omg i would absolutely love to hear your thoughts on my death, i feel like you would have some really great takes on it!!
      ugh yeah i think you’re probably right about ali smith. i might still try how to be both since i already own it but not gonna push it otherwise. sucks because i enjoy an exploration of language but something’s just not clicking for me
