when I read books, I don’t annotate or keep tabs of quotes etc. Is that bad thing? 
          	
          	I genuinely just read for the pleasure of it
          	
          	but how would I even go about annotating? what am I even annotating? my own interpretation? Favourite lines?

@whodisdivaa I don’t do it either. I think that it doesn’t matter how many books you read, you’ll always remember your favorite parts of a book.

I am going to tell you something beautiful you wont understand until later on the book.

@whodisdivaa i have read the mountains echoed, and watched the kite runner movie but i feel like atss was more heartbreaking than both of the works together. 
            Mariam deserved a happy ending.

@whodisdivaa "regret, when it comes to you i have oceans of it mariam jo" 
            "For the last time mariam did as she was told" 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 khaled when i catch you khaled. 
            SHE COULD'VE LIVED. If they just escaped together to Pakistan and Tariq would say they were all together. They could've all lived happily together. I kept crying all the time after mariam died, especially when laila and the kids were playing a game of names for the new baby but only if the baby is male. Because if it was a girl she had already decided 😭😭😭😭 i am literally crying right now. Its my fav book ever but i will never read a thousand splendid suns ever again.

@cardansnemesiss I just finished it and that was more heartbreaking than Kite Runner. My heart actually breaks for Mariam, she deserved sm better. But I’m so glad that Laila, the kids and Tariq got to live a better life, Laila had the life that Mariam yearned for. Tariq was the perfect man, husband and father.
            
            Omg but Jalil’s letter to Mariam was so devastating , he reminds me of Silvio. God the movie, and the letter broke me😭😭

Just started A Thousand Splendid Suns and I HATE rasheed. What a disgusting and sick man. Mariam deserved smmmm better 

cardansnemesiss

@whodisdivaa yeah there is worse to come  especially with the taliban entering. 
            
            I love them sm I am tearing up even remembering what laila and mariam go through. My poor girls deserve so much better. I cant wait for you to finish the book. 
            
            Also did a thousand splendid suns hurt more than the kite runner?

@cardansnemesiss THERES WORSE TO COME?! omg see when they got to the police station then back home, I was stressing sooo bad for them. My heart breaks for Mariam bc she got it the worst. And now with the Taliban entering, idk what to expect. 
            
            I LOVE mariam and laila’s relationship, the moment she stepped in for Mariam to stop her from getting hit, my heart warmed for her. The way mariam finally had people caring for her, and loved her for her. Such a beautiful bond

@whodisdivaa what do you think of mariams and laila relationship? I love them sm. Laila became the daughter mariam never had. Her and aziza are mariams everything.

I finally finished reading Kite Runner and omg it was the most devastating book I have read. Hassan’s story absolutely crushed me, the world was soooo cruel to him, he deserved sm more. 
          
          The betrayal was so heartbreaking but Hosseini illustrated loyalty and redemption perfectly. I also loved the reflection on the history of Afghan and the political implications

@cardansnemesiss hassans son going thought the same thing absolutely crushed me, even more when he tried to kill himself. Poor boy has been through SOOO MUCH

@cardansnemesiss oh my gosh, laila, tariq and hakim are so so wholesome. I love her dad already and I’m on chapter 21 or 22. Lowkey not a fan of her mum tho, she kinda irking me. But Rasheed deserves worse than hell, his kind facade that he put on for Mariam had me pissed

@whodisdivaa what i found devastating is that Hassans son went through the same thing as his hassan did. From the same abuser too. I cried so hard when i saw the blood on the snow but I cried harder when i saw hassans son with assef.

just started getting back into reading physical books after SOOOO long and I’ve missed it.
          I’ve been so consumed with doomscrolling on tiktok, Instagram and social media that I forgot what it was like to stop being reliant on it
          
          I started reading Kite Runner and whew I’m in for a ride. 7 chapters in!
          
          Leave me book recs please :) anything similar to Khaled Hosseini books. I do have A Thousand Splendid Suns and Where Lemon Trees Grow on my list! I’ll also accept any other genre, like classics or Greek mythology . ANYTHING

ironically, I hated how America hosted the World Cup because of the game times but seeing Scottish people get along with Boston people actually warms my heart.
          
          the way everyone is getting along, I could cry. The Japanese in Texas, the English in Florida, it’s so refreshing to see in this chaotic world
          
          maybe America needed this.

whodisdivaa

@sxell_ he’s so chaotic but lowkey love him, I love how he continues to play. But agreed, they should’ve been yellow cards bc that was brutal, and also this might be controversial but I do think Scotland maybe deserved that penalty when one of the players got thrown down by 2 players but harsh ref indeed. 
            
            Omg I agree, my dad always says the players literally fall and cry for no reason but I get why they do that so they can use it to their advantage ig

@sxell_ hopefully they get a point or a draw against Brazil and we have a chance to get further than we ever have! But agreed, they defended well against a great time like Morocco and I think that first goal being 70 seconds in really threw them off

@whoresane let me tell you that the same guy with the ripped up shirt (crazy by the way) and the broken tooth also got a bloody eye and concussion in the Africa Cup </3 I would crash out idk how he stayed so calm
            The ref was indeed a bit harsh BUT I didn’t really mind because I hate it when the players start rolling and crying with every single touch they get. He was like nope chop chop continue, but the ripped shirt and the broken tooth were at least a yellow card tbf
