#Play It Loud #Instruments of Rock & Roll #book cover #The Metropolitan Museum of Art #Perhaps one day we'll own the catalogue and we'll finish reading beyond the Google Books excerpts #It was very nice to listen to the songs mentioned while reading

#Play It Loud #The Metropolitan Museum of Art #book cover #I'm still a bit mad I didn't have the chance to visit this exhibition or Apollos' Muse #(And that buying the catalogues is prohibitely expensive) #Google Books excerpts will have to do

#Manual de Supervivencia de la Pareja Moderna #Vaya que el mundo era otro antes del 2016 #Las tiras de Facebook me parecían simpáticas y me animé a leer la compilación #Pero todas juntas y siguiendo el formato que eligieron uno se da cuenta de que no han envejecido para nada bien #Bien podría llamarse Manual para la Pareja Heteronormativa

#Secret Life of Humans #book cover #theatre play #I read this mainly because I thought it was written by David Byrne from the Talking Heads but it turns out it's a different David Byrne #(And I found out at the very end) #:') #It certainly had some good quotes and it's a somewhat simple but interesting exercise in reflection #But man THE DECEPTION

#Quiet Girl in a Noisy World #book cover #Debbie Tung #Nice is a good word for it #Although there were bits I'm wary about because of the casual approach towards crippling social anxiety being just a quirky character trait #that can be filed under being introverted #But mostly it was just fine

#Axiom's End #book cover #Lindsay Ellis #I didn't expect it would hook me the way it did at the beginning #But in the same way An Absolutely Remarkable Thing is a novel written by a YouTube whose main medium isn't fiction this one too #Feels like it's not there yet #Once the my monster boyfriend connection dawned on me #It was very hard not to see the novel-length Transformers fanfiction #*gestures and sighs vaguely*

#Brief Lives #Neil Gaiman #Sandman #book cover #Jill Thompson #Brief Lives is my favorite Sandman arch #And Destruction is the best #Reading Sandman on the hammock while eating grapes and granola bits under the sun and swimming in the aftertoon #<3

#The Lover's Dictionary #book cover #David Levithan #It had its moments #But for such a brief book it took me a while #I'm not sure if I'm outgrowing some aspects of Levithan's prose or the book just wasn't quite there yet #¯\_(ツ)_/¯

#Anthony Bourdain #The Last Interview #The Last Interview and Other Conversations #book cover #Finally finished the first book of the year \o/ #I was surprised by the fact that most of these were available on the internet #It was interesting to see the patterns that made up his beliefs #The bit where he talks about Italians and their relationship to food how cooks learn and the whole interview with Trevor Noah were the best

#Escucha las Sombras bajo el Palmar #book cover #Mariana #Osorio Gumá #A bit predictable but fine #I appreciate the use of tropical spooky ambience #Mucho mejor que la bazofia que tuvimos que leer el año pasado #Pero aún así con algunos detalles medio clasistas/racistas

#Pumpkinheads #book cover #graphic novel #Rainbow #Rowell #Faith Erin Hicks #This was my way to get into the autumn spirit while also having a full schedule #The use of color was very nice #And I enjoyed the small details in the setting and their relationship

#Fangs #book cover #online comics #Sarah #Andersen #It had a few moments but overall it was kind of meh for my taste #It's not bad #But it's not the kind of thing I would deeply enjoy as some other people apparently do #¯\_(ツ)_/¯

#Gut Instincts #Heart and Brain #Awkward Yeti #book cover #online comics #It was fun #Some of the first panels really capture the dynamic between me and my sibling #Not gold but mostly good stuff
