It also has a sweet narrative of Draco giving her gifts and she’s just so deep in pining and denial(2) 000
joyannc.bsky.social @joyannc.bsky.social · 03/03/2025It’s the slowest slow burn fic I’ve ever read. So much so that I feel detraquee (woman w mental illness) from the pining. But it’s worth it because it starts with Hermione’s growth, it rewrote Harry’s battle w Voldemort into a something that made more sense than the book or movie, (½) 100

joyannc.bsky.social @joyannc.bsky.social · 07/02/2025These books did not spark the joy in me so I gave up on them. I accept your rebukes since I didn’t want to give away the Naguib Mahfouz. I actually haven’t read them and I felt it would benefit other people than them languishing on my pile. Maybe in another time I’ll meet them again #books #tsundoku 000

It took me more than a year to finish this book, not because it was a hard read, but because I never wanted it to end. The Alipin’s Tale by Raymond Falgui is my favorite but there isn’t a lackluster story in this collection #books #philippinelit 031
