[unpretty]

this is not the first person to have added this to my post about karen from hr and i've gotta wonder if they actually read sss class revival hunter. like. he goes back in time and steals powers from the people who kill him. that's a pretty core part of the premise. is the time travel. and gaining powers. at no point as far as i can recall does the main character of sss class revival hunter wake up soaked in piss because he jumped out a train window to save time on the commute home from his office job. i am not sure what you think the plot of sss class revival hunter is.

#original #ficblogging #if corinne could go back in time by dying she would do it every day to catch up on her tbr and her watchlist #she would NOT use that technique to catch up on her video game backlog because then she wouldn't get to keep her cheevos #the people who tagged kim dokja are valid though

Top Ten TBR for August

1. The Iron Widow by Xiran Jay Zhao (currently reading)

Back in December, I was re-watching a bunch of Zhao’s videos on YouTube and in one of them she was promoting her novel Iron Widow. While I’ve never been too into mecha-novels in sci-fi, I decided to give this one a try! I’ve been finding the mechanics of the mechs really interesting, and I find Zetian a very engaging character. It also helps that Zhao explains some of the history of the real-life Wu Zetian in two of her YouTube videos. I still haven’t finished the book, but I am pretty close to finishing it.

2. Epithet Erased: Prison of Plastic by Brendan Blaber (currently re-reading)

This novel is a part of the Epithet Erased series on JelloApocalypse’s YouTube channel, which also includes several trailers for this novel and a part of chapter 1 of the novel’s audiobook. I remember seeing the original show on YouTube when it was coming out and it’s a really fun series! This part of the novel focuses on the story of Molly Blyndeff, a twelve-year-old with an epithet, a power that depends on whatever word the epithet is based off of. The story focuses on Molly’s relationship with her older sister Lorelai, and how her friends support her and try to help her as she tries to stop her sister from expanding her dream world within their family’s toy store. I’m actually listening to the audiobook while writing this post! I really recommend the audiobook version of this novel, the voice actors did an excellent job!

3. Everyone in This Room Will Someday Be Dead by Emily Austen

I actually was recommended this book a couple of years ago by an aunt and a cousin of mine. I had gone to a Catholic school and they both knew I was pan (I still haven’t come out to them as agender though, but that’s because I don’t see or talk to them very often). However, what actually convinced me to try the book was an old friend group that started a book club, and this was their first book. I still haven’t read it because I didn’t end up making it to the meetings, but I am interested in reading it.

4. The Henna Wars by Adiba Jaigirdar

This novel I was interested in more from the author than the subject matter, but that doesn’t mean I’m not interested at all. I first read Jaigirdar’s Hani and Ishu’s Guide to Fake Dating and really enjoyed it, so I wanted to read more of her works! That’s when I learned that this was her debut novel, and I wanted to compare the two. Plus, I will always find some joy from learning about different art forms through writing in novels. The most I know about henna so far is from a friend of mine who had another friend who wanted to practice henna on them. Because of that, I’d like to learn more about how Jaigirdar depicts henna artists.

5. A Queer Dharma: Yoga and Meditations for Liberation by Jacoby Ballard

I actually found this book at a book exchange that was at an LGBTQ+ friendly event. My friend and I are both interested in this book because we’re both into learning about different kinds of religion and how to express different kinds of spirituality. From what I’ve looked over with the book it talks about how queer people create their own spaces within Buddhism and yoga.

6. So This is Ever After by F. T. Lukens

I’ll go more in-depth with this particular choice in the next book, however the main reasons why I was interested in this novel is because I had already gotten a book from this author that I was pretty interested in. And after looking through another book of Lukens’s (or Lukens’), they also seemed to be really interested in fantasy, especially magic. I also thought it was an interesting idea that the story takes place after the typical “ever after” of defeating an evil king.

7. In Deeper Waters by F. T. Lukens

Now this is the novel that I originally found F.T. Lukens from, and the main reason why I was interested in reading this novel is because I love pirates. I also found myself hooked from just the summary of the novel. When people say a character is mysterious, I don’t really know if they’re going to be mysterious until they appear in the story. However, the summary does show how mysterious Athlen can be, considering he’s introduced as a prisoner on a burning ship. So, I’m interested in learning more about Athlen just from the summary.

8. Red, White & Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston

This novel has a bit more controversial reason for why I want to read it. I originally got this book because it was popular, and I was vaguely interested, but then I started hearing about debates on whether this is good MLM (men-loving-men, not multi-level-marketing) representation. However, I then had another friend that’s a part of the queer community that read the book and he liked it. So I wanted to read the book to figure out my own opinion on the novel. Plus I thought it would be a good time to read it since the novel’s getting it’s own show soon. 

9. Everything You Ever Wanted to Know about Trans (But Were Afraid to Ask) by Brynn Tannehill

This book is less for me and more for family reasons. I’m not going to go into too much detail for privacy reasons, but a lot of my family still don’t quite understand much about what it exactly means to be transgender, especially not someone who’s under the non-binary umbrella. So I wanted to read this book and see if it’d be a good fit for some of my family members who do read.

10. Video Game Storytelling: What Every Developer Needs to Know about Narrative Techniques by Evan Skolnick

This book is more for my own learning and future career. My specific dream job is to create a video game story, which would go into scriptwriting. However, most of the creative writing advice and tips I’ve gotten were either for fiction in general, or for short stories and poetry. This book might be able to teach more about scriptwriting, but also how to develop scripts for video games.

I finally had time to finish reading "Children of Ash and Elm" by Neil Price. This was such a great read for people who want to get more into reading non-fiction for fun but aren't really experienced with the genre yet (aka: me).

The book acts as on overview of the Viking Age, going into detail about religion, society, history, and more. I was always learning something new and fascinating with every page.

And now my fascination with vikings has only deepened, and I'm already chomping to learn more.

#i need to remember the name of that youtube who does videos on viking life #this book also took me forever to read not because i hated it but because i started reading it at the worst time possible #i just caught up to the person i have my reading bet with but luckily the next few things on my tbr are easy reads that will give me #some filler page counts #me reading #me rambling #children of ash and elm #the children of ash and elm by neil price

for january i always do a challenge (2022 was veganism, 2023 was no tv) and this year i think i might delete the youtube app because the scroll addiction has gotten so bad that i'm watching shorts regularly now

#have deleted everything else but i like youtube videos too much. but good for a month #tumblr is fine because i only follow like 100 accounts a solid half of which are inactive. so if i'm done i'm just done #might finally put a dent into my tbr shelf like that. hate when i want to read and then i just get stuck watching slime videos #leog

[permanentreverie]

Binge watching Mr. Illustated's SCP 1730 videos rn, it's great.

[hischiersdraisaitl]

The Folk of the Air Trilogy by Holly Black has been on my TBR for so long, mainly because I keep seeing it around BookTok and Bookstagram. Whenever a book is making 'rounds and rec lists in those social media sites, people tend to be hesitant: is it actually good, or is it just overhyped? After nearly two years on my TBR, I finally got around to reading it. So, here are my thoughts, reactions and review on the entire trilogy. Enjoy!

#the folk of the air #the cruel prince #the wicked king #the queen of nothing #holly black #jude duarte #cardan greenbriar #ya #young adult #fantasy #romance #bookblr #booktok #bookstagram #tbr #to be read #my videos. #shameless self promo <3 #Youtube

I released my book review for The Road by Cormac McCarthy!

I think I did better in this video than the last (meaning I actually wrote a script, lol).

#you can see me looking at my script occasionally #and then often #im sure ill get better as i do this more #but ive been having fun doing this so far #next week i want to do a video for to sleep in a sea of stars by christopher paolini #ill try to get that done this week #if not itll have to wait for next week and this week ill do a wrapup and october tbr

I have too many books and money for a $15 cart. Watch me try to sort everything into this thing as I explain where I got every book.

We need to start bullying people who organize their bookshelves by color actually

#I’m tired of ‘let people enjoy things’ it looks bad and how do you find anything #I feel myself entering my grumpy old bitch time of life but seriously the thought #of putting my red Agatha Christie book on the other end of my shelf from my blue Agatha Christie book makes my skin crawl #and for what?? it doesn’t even look good #bookshelves painstakingly put into rainbow order and then covered with fairy lights and funko pops? like do you read those books or what #I don’t want to get too deep here but there’s a connection between having ‘pretty’ bookshelves and reading books for ‘the vibes’ #or whatever the fuck booktok’s always on about #I cannot tell you how many videos I’ve seen hyping up books by just saying ‘this one has a dark academia aesthetic with enemies to lovers’ #and everyone in the comments goes ‘Omg adding to my tbr!!!’ uhhh and what is the book about? pls and thenk you? #I once saw a tiktok that said ‘I want to live in these movies/novels so bad’ #and one of them was Anna Karenina (w/ pics from the Kiera Knightley movie) #and I commented why tf would you want to live in Anna Karenina do you know what happens in that book #and the person responded ‘ummm obviously I was just talking about the aesthetic 🙄’ #the aesthetic of the inability to attain happiness within the confines of Imperial Russian society and marital infedelity?? #or did you just like the pretty dresses?? what is the draw here

1st Ship: Don’t look at me, it was ShiZaya okay leave me to my peace, Durarara is dead to me.

Last song: Let It Die - Starset

Last movie: I don’t remember what we watched last in the discord but I do know that it was the last movie I’ve seen and it might have been Pacific Rim and then whatever we watched after Pacific Rim ( man I don’t know, I have no memory.)

Or. It might have been Jurrassic World with my family. Regardless, we have mechas or dinosaurs so I’m still winning.

Currently consuming: YouTube FF lore videos and half a gallon of Brisk.

Currently watching: Uh. Like a TV show? YouTube? I started Wednesday but I have a track record for never finishing TV series or Anime unless I do it out of spite or morbid cusiosity. It was cute tho.

Currently reading: Attempting Gideon the Ninth but also, I’m illiterate so it’s going slowly. I also cracked open the turks side story and then closed it earlier today, so I have an entire stack of TBR.

Currently craving: cheesecake
