New week means new Monday bookish meme hosted by  The Book Date.

It took me this whole week to read this, and it's got nothing to do with the book 😂 Last Monday, I read 8% then I literally didn't pick the book up until yesterday when I read the remaining 92% 😅 These Gentle Wounds is truly a gentle book about a boy dealing with some heavy trauma and his brother helping him along the way. It's a character-based novel, so you won't find many dramatic plot points, but that's the point.

It's all about his emotions, heavy anxiety episodes, and trying to find his place in the world. It was a lovely book and I'm happy how it ended. I expected to be a bit more...emotionally involved, but I was slightly detached from the characters. Maybe it's because I had such a busy week and the exhaustion got to me because it was truly a great book.

This week drained me so much that I have no desire to pick up anything new or challenging. To get back into the reading game, I'm gonna pull the same move as last time - reread a fave 😂 I've been meaning to read this series a second time, so this is the perfect opportunity. I'm in the mood for some light space shenanigans, so this will be the best intro to read sci-fi the rest of the month.

 

Binging the rest right away!! 💙
