I GOT IT I GOT THE ARC FOR PUBLIC ACCESS AFTERWORLD. THANK YOU NETGALLEY AND MY GUARDIAN ANGEL I KNOW YOU MADE THIS HAPPEN FOR ME THANK YOU THANK YOUUUUUUUU

needed a quick mindless audio for work and so far has been generally entertaining but what is it with this genre and their WEIRD involvement of autism. genuinely why is that almost always a plotpoint in recent releases??? it leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

please netgalley and god if ur listening accept my request for jane schoenbrun's upcoming debut novel public access afterworld. i would do anything for it and i mean anything. have ur people contact my people at your earliest convenience PLEASE. thanks

SORRY FOR BLOWING UP THE TL TODAY!!!! JUST FOUND OUT THE PUBLISHING HOUSE I'M PRE-APPROVED FOR ON NETGALLEY IS THE ONE THAT DID THE OMORI MANGA. IN A GRAPHIC NOVEL MOOD LATELY BUT THIS. THIS IS SOMETHING ELSE. I WILL TRY TO LEAVE U IN PEACE NOW. <3

ok hopefully last update for a while but. am i an asshole for being irked about the use of "she learnt about it on tumblr" in a narrative that takes place in 2006 when tumblr wasn't founded until 2007. am i wrong for that

oh so i'm actually in this book and i do not like it

ok i just finished this and can't give my full thoughts and Official Review yet bc it's an arc but holy shit please read this when you can. a martyr! level event has just happened. this book is unreal and SO good.

i keep hearing this narrator's voice in my head like the stanley parable narrator. blessing or curse? you decide

not supposed to do this really but . well.

"it was a strange relief to learn that the presence she felt **wasn't** her mother. was only god."

rereading thru kitchen princess and damn i forgot how much i love that series. so so so sweet!!!! gonna pick up berserk soon (yeah i have range) and will be rereading foster dade when it gets a little warmer. my light mode late 2000s secret history <3333

ok so i know this is contextually completely divorced from me but heyyyyy "a robot doomed to shake itself apart" hits crazy insane

LOLLLL this is so crazy awesome, writing style rules

may be BITING (do u see what i did there) off more than i can chew w this currently reading list but I CAN'T HELP IT!!!!!!! i am nothing if not a mood reader and the zombie mood has reeeeeeeeaaaaallllllyyyyy been hitting. soz but not really (but a little)

unfortunately kindof impossible for me to imagine any character named elijah as anyone but of the wood variety...grateful for my aphantasia in this moment

oh i know a thing or two about an insecure constraint, an open gate, the option to leave

I Finally Found It. (online. unfortunately unless there's a rerelease or i self-bind it will never be mine physically...) OTGW My Beloved You Changed My Life <3

"i know that nothing has ever been real / without my beholding it. / all becoming has needed me. / my looking ripens things / and they come toward me, to meet and be met."

i have said it before. i will say it again. rilke is the best at everything especially perspective in relation to major life changes. this collection is so important to me. stay tuned

i keep misreading selinunte as selunite and it just makes me wanna play bg3 so bad... alas,, prob can't do that until after move-in 3

guys i was at the lake over the weekend (not reading) and now i'm packing everything up to move (also not reading) so i'll be continuing to not read for a few weeks. felt like updating the masses <3 all good stuff <3

does anyone know what i should read if i have caught the pitt brainworm. i don't really wanna read anything medical related so probably not. just wanted to throw out there i can't really think about anything else at the moment...help? i guess? i'm normal!!!!!! thanks <3

NEW JOHN GREEN BOOK ANNOUNCED LFGGGGG I'M HERE. SAT. WAITING. SEPTEMBER CAN'T COME SOON ENOUGH!!!

there's a quiet and direct reverence in this that keeps making me well up. i'm wildly impressed with how this novel has tucked itself under my ribcage, right by my heart. i'm not yet halfway done and i can already tell i will be thinking about it for a very long time. of that ilk of briefly, a delicious life. just wonderful

it is taking everything in me rn not to drop everything, lock myself in a room, and read lucien until i'm done with it. they're marketing that thing as succession meets the secret history. HELLO! written in a lab for My Personal Enjoyment. thanks so much j.r. thornton ur gonna change my life

I CAN'T QUOTE THIS YET BUT I AM GOING TO BE SOOOOO ANNOYING IN UPDATES UNTIL PUBLICATION :'] very very very relate to the mc and uhhhhh... hiiiiiiii sofia haiiii :P

i miss playing so badly it feels as if i'm swallowing a perpetual sob as i read. i think it's time to re-learn
