i fully realise that not everyone is gonna love the mindfuck experience that reading harrow the ninth is, but i do still get sad for them when they don’t like it. i’m like noooo you’re missing out on the book of all time!! the second read through really hits!!! maybe give her a reread and see how you feel?

I could not find the Erma Bombeck books. Every other book we ever owned is still there. And I can’t see my father getting rid of them. He doesn’t touch any of those books. He is busy with his airport MANBOOKS. Granted I didn’t look that hard. But they weren’t where they were supposed to be. 

Just one of the mysteries of my parents’ old, dark, cluttered, shuttered house that still lives in the 20th century.

Did you miss my livestream interview with Ink@84 Books and wish you hadn't? Fear not, you can still catch it on demand! For a limited time a ticket purchase (£5, worldwide) will get you access to the recording, which you can watch any darn time you please. I talk about making Worst Journey Vol.1 (including parts of the process you haven't seen elsewhere) and there's a generous Q&A section at the end. People have told me they like it -- maybe you will too!

the way I got so excited when you said you’d written a book before!! Just know that if you ever feel comfortable sharing any more info on that, I’ll be right here eagerly waiting to here all about it haha!

Are you a big reader? And if so, do you have any books you’ve read that you’ve really enjoyed? Im trying to get back into reading and I feel like you’d have great suggestions!

Thank you!!! AH, i am working on querying something so maybe one day!

And yes I LOVE books, i read one every week (if i can manage it) and hmmm books I really enjoyed

im currently reading how high we go in the dark by sequoia nagamatsu!!

I LOVED song of achilles but it will make u cry I have plans to read Circe, which is by the same author!

i started A Little Life but it's super triggering so im reading it very slowly, honestly it's been like 7 months since I started but it's also been very good so far!

Daisy Jones & The Six was my fav (no surprise there)

The Royal We if you want messy, sort of angsty romance! I loved it and I reread it often!

Babel by RF Kuang is on my list! The Poppy War was great so I will read anything she writes

for more romance: ANYTHING BY EMILY HENRY I loved Beach Read.....GUS <33333 it is sort of sad though and deals with death, it did make me teary

The Hating Game is also a romcom and it's funny enemies to lovers (i have avoided the movie though tbh lol)

if you're younger or looking for YA: Six of Crows is awesome, The Wrath & The Dawn used to be my fav YA book when I was younger and it's heavily inspired by 1001 Nights

OH! Alone With You In the Ether destroyed me in the best way

i have wayy more i just cant think of anything, ah id really love to join a book club

hiii babe :) <3 what did you think of the vanishing half & how have you been?? missed you so much! x

ugh imo I’ve been okay I’ve missed you too <3

❗️spoilers for the vanishing half❗️

okay so I think I set myself up with TVH bc I just knew there was going to be a gooood neat, wrapped up ending. it didn’t have to be a happy one !! bc I figured that was far fetched but I still longed for the sisters to reunite permanently somehow someway (the definition of far fetched). can I just say how much I liked the dynamic between stella and loretta. I wish that plot line went a little differently. I would’ve loved to see stella tell loretta her identity (though I feel like loretta already knew) and how that would’ve affected their relationship.

the only thing that really bothered me while reading were the time jumps. I had to keep flipping back to remember what year we were in, how much time passed, what ages the characters were, etc. especially bc a lot of times the years weren’t chronological, we jumped back and forth. that’s really it !! I think it deserved the hype it got, but I was just expecting a slightly different story. how did you like it ?? ik you read it a while ago but idk your thoughts

#<33 #black books getting hype is something I’ll never be mad at #I’m reading blanche on the lam #rn #asks #cheesehair #book chat #wait I wanted to ask you about giovanni’s room !! #I’ll just send you an ask #I’m so curious #I stopped and started reading it twice now

What nobody has talked about the Neverending Story...

[I have already made a video about this on my tiktok account, but the platform decided to shadowban it and not that many people got to see it.]

We already know that Bastion gave the name "Moonchild" to the childlike Empress, but everyone keeps asking if that is a name that makes sense at all. It is a very uncommon name... Unless... Bastion's mother was Native American! Think about it! How would Bastion have been exposed to Native American culture to the point of admiring Atreyu as his favorite character? It would make sense if his mother exposed him to all of the legends thanks to their heritage.

If anyone were to go by the movies they would've been exposed to some of Bastion's memories and seen a white woman acting as his mother, why would a white woman be called Moonchild? It makes no sense otherwise.

How was the book?

The Golden Enclaves? It was very readable and I had fun, but I have a lot of opinions about the quality and worldbuilding of the trilogy as a whole. I think Novik's approach to diversity is tenuous (I know a lot of criticism was levelled against the 1st book, and the 3rd book makes some very similar choices). I personally believe that a lot of the issues within this series could have been avoided by it being a high fantasy rather than urban fantasy world. But I guess, bc it's derived from her Harry Potter fanfiction...

The pros: she actually committed to queer content (not a requirement of authors tbh but I'm glad, given the slight problems with representation in this book series, not everything was tokenistic), after the cheap cliffhanger of book 2 she actually did deliver on a decent conclusion.

The cons: I still find Novik's approach to diversity very tricky, she makes a lot of attempts which means that there are as many hits as misses, and I think this contributes to the wider question of whether authors should make an effort to be inclusive, or stay in their own lane and make more space for authors of colour. If Galadriel was white, this book would be BAD, but she isn't, so now I'm just feeling slightly uncomfortable about the whole thing.

Also, on a structural note, I found the writing style infuriating this time around. Galadriel Higgins, I am begging, learn how to use full stops.

Quick Book Review (4/20)

Frankenstein by Mary Shelley is one of the best works I have ever read. It is horrifying in all the right ways and opens a deeper ethical discussion. It is definitely worth a read!

Rating: 10/10

Quote: “I do know that for the sympathy of one living being, I would make peace with all. I have love in me the likes of which you can scarcely imagine and rage the likes of which you would not believe. If I cannot satisfy the one, I will indulge the other.”

[moonshinemagpie]

I just started a reddit account and I'm on some of the book recommendation subreddits (if there are reading/writing places you like on Reddit let me know please!). 1. I love just reading about recommended books. Learning why people love them, etc. I love book chat. But also 2. The average layperson is astonishingly bad at asking for book recommendations. They'll be like "I want a book about ducks" but won't specify fiction or nonfiction, literary or commercial or scientific or for children, etc.

I bet librarians already know this, and honestly this is why librarians are doing god's work

I Have No Shelf Control

I admit it, I have no shelf control. For me books are the same as: a potato chip, a piece of chocolate, a cup of tea – there’s no way I have have just one. I wake each day (If I’ve actually managed to sleep) and I think, the world is mine for the reading! “You can never get a cup of tea large enough or a book long enough to suit me.”~ C.S. Lewis I have no particular genre or author, my motto is…
