Love the tombombadil character. He’s very mythical and really gives you a sense just how rich Tolkiens world is. For me, good world building in books is as much about the mysteries as it is about the culture/magic/values of the world.

Where the f is Tom Bombadil in our world right now?! We need him!

You've totally sold me on Picnic at Hanging Rock- I love an open-ended book! And when authors refuse to explain themselves 😅 Sounds like you had a great reading month 😍

Ambiguous lit girlies rise up!! I hope you also had a great reading month 😍

hi! i love your discussion on giovanni's room! i agree that it's a trailblazer especially with how the characters were fleshed out in such a small book, how the dialogues are just so painful, so realistic. this reminds me of what i told my friend: "Giovanni's Room was their Eden, until it wasn't anymore, until they've run out of reasons to make it their version of paradise." great video! i'm subscribed now :D
