God, this book is life-changing. I recommend it to everyone in my life. It’s so beautiful and devastating. What an incredible breakdown of grief, love, and what it means to be human.

The Haunting of Moscow House by Olesya Salnikova Gilmore
Did not finish book. Stopped at 36%.

Why on earth would I give a fuck about a bunch of disgraced aristocrats during the Bolshevik revolution? Oh boohoo, did someone get addicted to hoarding wealth? Did someone get a little too comfortable with the extreme class disparity that they were on the better side of? Cry me a river dude. Every time they started whining about how they’re not allowed to be rich anymore I felt like the “Damn… I kinda don’t care” meme. And the worst part of it all is that this book is fucking boring. I love Gothic novels — this isn’t a Gothic novel problem, this is a “this book kind of sucks” problem. I’m not wasting any more time trying to get through this one.
