#coffee means never having to say your sleepy.

Last night I finished #thepeopleinthetrees & I'm honestly considering burning this book. I, the reliable reader that I am, was taken for the ride that was forewarned & promptly ignored.

#hanyayanagihara books need a warning label. It should read: you will be utterly devastated & in a fetal position crying your soul out by the end. #hanyayanagiharabooks #alittlelife #bookish #booksandcoffee

erinreads I had to bail on this one earlier this year. I just couldn't get into it after sticking it out for 100 pages. 😕 7y
ReadingEnvy Phew I know it took me a week to decide if I should give this book a good rating because of my own emotional reaction. I ultimately decided that only a good writer could take me there.... 7y
Cathythoughts Oh no. Sounds difficult. Still I loved ( maybe not the exact word) A Little Life. I'm stacking this one. Fetal position ? Crying ? Oh god, I'm still going to try. I have been warned. 7y
mellisarock @Cathythoughts I gave it 4 stars. See that hesitation to say I loved...same here. I was captivated and spell bound almost the entire time. 7y
mellisarock @erinreads once the story makes it to the Island it's captivating but you may have saved yourself some tears & the stuff of nightmares. 7y
mellisarock @ReadingEnvy same. I felt the same way about All the Ugly and Wonderful Things too. 7y
Cathythoughts Thank you. It's heavy stuff, but brilliant too. It just moved up the stack 👍 7y

#alittlelife needs a warning label but since I've already been destroyed by it, I'm giving #thepeopleinthetrees a try. #hanyayanagihara #awardwinning #manbooker

Jas_thebookthief I loved A little life 😭😭 7y
mellisarock @Jas_thebookthief @emilyhaldi @AmyG @Ms_T It's pretty good so far & the prose reminds of A Little Life. Master story teller! ❤️🙌🏻 7y
BeyondtheBookends2 What is a little life about? I've heard great things but am afraid to tackle the 700+ pages.... 7y
mellisarock It's about four people who became family to each other in college and dealing with the junk from childhood and life together. It is a massive book but it is totally worth every page. @BeyondtheBookends2 7y
BeyondtheBookends2 That's awesome. Thank you! Just bought it... 7y
mellisarock @BeyondtheBookends2 I'll be curious what you think. It's needs a warning label. But it was amazing! 7y

Exhibited an extreme amount of control in the bargain book store and only walked out with two $1 books. Still struggling with the lighting in this motel room. #bookstagram #bookster #bookish #booklover #bookworm #bookporn #thepeopleinthetrees #hanyayanagihara #charlesdickens #dickens #greatexpectations #barginbooks
