If we're adding books to your endless tbr pile, have you read The City and The City by China Miéville?

I have not! It's very much something I've been meaning too - even had it out from the library - but just, never got around to it before, I guess?

So sure, will add it back to the list, have heard literally nothing but good things.

To go with my zombie book post, here's a post with a bunch of vampire books I read in middle school / early high school that I remember fondly!

(yes I know Cirque du Freak was a series of novels but I read them as manga so. yeah. also You Suck is the second book in a series but I've only read that one so it goes in the list instead of book 1.)

Once again, some ratings:

Adults Book. Kids can probably read it once a parent's looked it over first, but they might not understand/like it. - You Suck, I Am Legend. Young Adult Novel. - Chronicles of Vladmir Todd, Suck It Up, Sucks to be Me, Cirque Du Freak, Thirst. Kids Book. - Bunnicula

If any of these look interesting, give 'em a read this Halloween season! And if you've got any cool vampire books you want to recommend, feel free to reblog with them!

#ok to reblog #vampire books #cirque du freak #chronicles of vladmir todd #you suck a love story #suck it up #bunnicula #Sucks to Be Me: The All-True Confessions of Mina Hamilton #thirst christopher pike #i am legend book #book recomendations #book recs #i read Thirst freshman year of high school and thought it was an adult novel i shouldnt be reading. then on goodreads it says it's ya #i don't think you suck was that raunchy or adulty of a book but there were definitely some things in it i didn't realize were funny b4 #until i got older and read through the book again #i feel like i have so many more vampire books in my closet and if i dig them out maybe i'll add to this post #but for now these are the ones i remember

Review : Paris Daillencourt Is About to Crumble by Alexis Hall

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✨ 4.5 Stars

The second book in Alexis Hall’s “Winner Bakes All” series takes place in the same world as Rosaline Palmer Takes the Cake, and is set on the same Bake Expectations competition show with the same hosts, judges & producers (Jennifer Hallet and her non-stop cursing is still my favorite), but it has very different themes and a different story structure to Rosaline.

I wouldn’t consider this to be a full-fledged romcom. Yes it’s very funny at times and had me cackling, but Paris has severe anxiety which reminded me of The Charm Offensive with its mental health rep. It’s intense to read with well-written anxiety spirals and an on-page panic attack, so please go in gently. There is way more off-camera and post-filming life instead of every show detail, which I loved. Now that we know this baking world, Hall decided to take a turn and talk about other things instead:  how anxiety affects you and the people around you, being Muslim and queer, being white and privileged, but not happy. Being diagnosed with GAD and learning coping mechanisms. It is deftly blended together.

Paris falls for Tariq, a fellow contestant who is a queer Muslim man with strong religious beliefs.  They are both 20 and still figuring themselves out. Although there is no sex in this book, I found refreshing for a romance novel and right for the story, and it shows that a romantic connection can exist without it. But there is lots of kissing, talking and banter. Tariq is the cutest thing ever with his nicknames “Honey” and “Angel Cake”, his personal style of mixing patterns and his rainbow nail varnish! Tariq’s own self-worth becomes a safe space for Paris and helps to calm him down. And Paris’s roommate and best friend Morag, the self-titled Glaswegian sex goddess, is one of the best side characters I’ve read lately.

From their very first encounter The BanterTM  is so good. Hall writes some of the best banter I’ve ever read and it’s in this book as a way to break up the intensity. It filled me with such joy I had a smile on my face as I was reading it and had me cry laughing at moments. Why are there so many euphemisms and puns in baking terminology? It’s endlessly funny.

If you are a fan of  The Charm Offensive or The Heart Principle where a delightful story is wrapped in depicting mental health issues, I would recommend this book. It felt very true to life.

PUB DATE:  NOVEMBER 1, 2022

Yes... No longer human.

"The society. By then I already began to have a slight idea of what it was about. In other words, a fight between individuals. And a fight in which winning is everything. Human beings obey no one." 

(direct translation of my version in Spanish, so my apologies if there are errors)

NO LONGER HUMAN, by Osamu Dazai, is one of those rare books that cannot be read lightly, no matter how few pages they have. They call you on a few occasions from the time you start it until you finish it; but that's good, because that's where I think you can really enjoy them in all their glory. And the best thing is when, once finished, they keep calling you to take a look between its pages.

Interestingly, another of the few books that have done this to me was also Japanese (Haruki Murakami's MEN WITHOUT WOMEN anthology).

But let's get to the point. What is NO LONGER HUMAN? Well, apart from a complete mockery of that saying: "show, don't tell" that is exhibited so much today and that seems to have been deceiving us (we have been deceived, haha), since not all texts need it, the truth it's just that if I think about this book, all I can think of is for you to walk away from this review (any review!) and start reading it. Because I don't think anyone really knows what this book is about until they read it. And, the truth is that it is better that you do not know. Because just like its adaptation to the manga by the teacher Junji Ito (that's why I met him), READING NO LONGER HUMAN IS AN EXPERIENCE, and those things have to be lived, right?

Hello! I found your blog scrolling through the Baru cormorant tag in the daze following reading the final chapter of Tyrant. You seem cool and we seem to have about the same taste in books (lesbians committing atrocities while having complex feelings about imperialism). I see Baru and TLT and often A Memory Called Empire rec’d together but very rarely Ninefox Gambit which is too bad because it really does deserve to be included in the category of disaster lesbians and imperialism. Anyway, just wanted to say hi and also ask if you had any recommendations of things to read which scratch the same itch as these books?

Oh, thank you! And congrats on the excellent taste!

Okay, other recs! (writing on a break so sorry for lack of description)

Ancillary Justice/Imperial Radch - you've probably already read it, but basically the progenitor of the whole, like, sub-genre, so probably worth a try if you haven't. Honestly never quite fell in love with the series the way a lot of people did, and thematically a bit muddled imo, but still a very fun read.

The Poppy War Trilogy - set in obvious fantasy China during what's socially the fantasy 19th century but with weirdly primitive tech and some magic. So, if you feel like Baru was too soft-hearted and had too many moral qualms stopping her from doing what was necessary to fight imperial, oh boy is Fang Runin the protagonist for you! (Okay the books are honestly pretty uneven and luxuriate in describing various atrocities a bit much, and Rin is theoretically textually straight, but if you need an anti-imperialist girlboss committing war crimes hit this is the series for you)

The Unbroken - Fantasy Algeria/Egypt after colonization by the fantasy-French, about a colonial auxiliary soldier whose returning to her homeland for the first time since she was adopted/conscripted as a child and the princess there to quell a rebellion to gain enough political capital to take the throne despite being disabled (and also make things better for the natives) who she ends up serving in the household of. Of the 'historically accurate racism and colonialism, but patriarchy and homophobia aren't really things' school of worldbuilding. Touraine is a great protagonist, but also very frustrating in that she's got the skillset of Gideon but keeps trying to be Baru.

The Jasmine Throne - Fantasy-India, about one of the last surviving acolytes of a massacred priesthood devoted to the primordial demons who once almost conquered the continent (theoretically) and the imperial princess sent by her brother to rot in that conquered city after she refuses to burn herself alive as she was expected to. (The subgenre's just full to bursting with princesses and not-quite-knights, isn't it?). Clashing loyalties, terrifying mystical powers, intrigue and rebellion, you know the drill. Very good and a sequel's coming out soonish, I think?

Monstress - I don't know if you read comics at all, but if you do read Monstress. If you don't, also read Monstress. (Do not read Monstress if you've got any sort of weak stomach in either a metaphorical or literal sense. There's a lot, and it's all lovingly illustrated)

That's all just off the top of my head, will probably reblog this with more recs at some point after my brain stews a bit more.
