Currently reading: Babyji by Abha Dawesar.
And how is it? I like it, but I don’t know how to feel? It’s about a sixteen-year-old sleeping with older women, and I honestly don’t know how the power dynamics work. One is her servant and one is a woman she hardly knows who she actively pursued. The other woman should have turned her down, of course. I feel uncomfortable about… how… it doesn’t make me feel uncomfortable? Well, the power she has over the servant makes me more uncomfortable. I’m conflicted.

Food eaten: None, and I brushed my teeth, so that’s my snackathon done.
Interruptions: Not much.
Anything else? I am really getting tired. It’ll be a push to get get through one more hour. Though we’ll see if I get too invested in Babyji to put it down.

Babyji made me feel a bit weird too. It was one of the first queer books I read, and I remember thinking, is this what I should have been doing I was 16? Is this what lesbians are like?
