concept is so fun but think it would've been even More fun if it kept it subtle :,3 little moment in the middle of the worst day of her life where she starts worrying abt the HOA contract,, know she's not real but at that moment she was to me

Lost & Found by Shaun Tan
originally went looking for a copy of the cicada n found this instead !! a littl scared n endeared. shaun tan's art alrdy felt so surreal, in luv w his textures even the two pg spread of Red was such an insane thing to look at, but all of these stories n worlds also paired so well with each other on top of that ,there is so much to love. exists beyond anything i can wrap my head around n still feels familiar, made me remember why i still love reading picture books :)

The Sailor Who Fell from Grace with the Sea by Yukio Mishima
4.5
writing was so dreamy didn't expect Weightlessness coming out of a thing so miserable, so many strings of words that felt so sharp (the lines abt rage and despondency..unreal)stands apart from all the other mishima i've read but still feels like a natural progression :o blurry picture of a book, squinting at the sun, loved
book cover in the hall of fame of my heart!!
