I'm having such a hard time articulating how I feel about this book. There was SO many good, solid parts about this story. The bare bones were excellent, and so was the writing. But it was also extremely disappointing for those same reasons - because it had so many wonderful things, I'm disappointed that I didn't love it more.

The whole storyline revolving around the aliens was extremely random, disjointed, and did not feel like it fit within the story about Katrina and Satomi. If they really wanted Satomi to have a relationship, Lan could've still been that as a human. Lan's family also provided a lot of plot convenience. It felt like the author had 50 ideas and messages she was trying to portray in under 400 pages, which left many of the side stories unfinished.

What I did really love was the family that Satomi, Katrina, and even Astrid found within each other. It was obvious that Katrina had been saved by Satomi, but it wasn't so obvious that Satomi had also been saved by Katrina. I also adored how the author uses music to explain things like gender, judgement, and life in general. The part that stuck out to me the most was when she explained how people live life in "sections", like sections of music, and when a section doesn't go how they expect it, things can go off the rails.

Please don't take the negative parts of my review as a reason not to read this book. While there are very realistic parts involving hateful things people say about trans people, and there are definitely parts I liked more than others, there is also trans joy and familial love and many good, amazing things to gain from reading this story.

i got my kindle some years back when i was just starting to understand the kind of shit companies like amazon do and now have a few books i bought that i haven't downloaded from the kindle store. anyway, i guess I'm too late for that anyway.

but off-late, I've been thinking about moving to something more in line with my philosophy and Kobo seems like a good place to move. i was, however, unable to find any online stores in india that sell Kobo eReaders. does anyone have any leads for this?

For some time, I've been trying to avoid buying from #Amazon, and I recently discovered something that helps me with that.

If you buy an #eBook from #Kobo, then find it cheaper at Amazon or anywhere else, they'll refund the difference plus 10%.

Last week, I had occasion to test that out. I bought an eBook from Kobo for £4.99. Amazon had the same book for £2.99, so I submitted a price match ticket at kobo.com/gb/en/p/pricematch-ab

Tochter liest inzwischen so viel und so schnell, dass sie meinen #tolino bekommt. Ganz uneigennützig natürlich. Aber leider muss ich mir jetzt ein neues Gerät zulegen. Es soll groß sein (bin alt, Gleitsichtbrille und so). Jetzt lese ich voll oft, dass man besser #Pocketbook nehmen soll. Und dann gibt es ja noch #Kobo. Ich lese nur Romane. Farbe fände ich schon auch schön, aber wahrscheinlich lohnt sich sowas nicht.

Owwwww :blahajread:

Thanks to a very lovely sweet friend, who jokingly said "Good news, my Nan died" (this was based on a conversation that we had about an episode of Downton Abbey, just FYI 😉), I was able to get the new Suzanne Collins book on my eReader!

Unfortunately, the account that I used when I set up the reader, was not the email that I use for the Bol Kobo store... So I had to logout and log in with the proper account.

It lost all my progress........ 😔 Which is a bummer........

But...

It did add the book to the reader. 😊 It's charging now, and then, I can start it soon!
