ok it's finally getting better

what the actual fuck is going on

went offline for a long ass time, read a shit ton of comics, I'm back and gonna add all of them, btw I counted the total to be 66 so guess that covers reading goals for the year oops

I'm reading this for research and this is both fascinating and disgusting

why did this actually scare me, again I read at night, horror is not the genre to do that for

Oh wow this actually scared me, why did I read this at midnight do not be deceived this is in fact horror

once again stories set in california weird me out because I can just go there, like I can just drive to where the monsters in this story are what do you mean.

It's always weird to me when a book is set in California and the author uses real locations I'm super familiar with it's almost like an invasion of privacy it's so uncanny, like name dropping real streets and addresses is wild

Is this trashy? absolutely. Was the would cleaning scene still cute? Yes I totally get it, I'm a simple person tender moments like that are worth it. Also I know we're not supposed to like the vampire dilf but he's complex enough he circles back around to being likable and maybe my favorite character.

Reading this purely because I love pirates and I'm in desperate need of reading some fantasy right now but I'm also very pleasantly surprised by how good this is and the audiobook is so interesting in production to match the writing style

"What we create allows us to share glimpses of an inner landscape, one that is beyond our understanding. Art is our portal to the unseen world. Without the spiritual component, the artist works with a crucial disadvantage. The spiritual world provides a sense of wonder and a degree of open-mindedness not always found within the confines of science."

Yes this is for school and it's just about broke gay people in a toxic age gap relationship

I'm noticing goodreads got rid of books I know for a fact I read, Gwen and Art are Not in Love and Legends and lattes mainly, but other books too I'm just noticing were erased, goodreads wtf you're supposed to track these things.

Kinda shocked this is low key good it's way more sincere and earnest than I was expecting

This is exactly the kind of trashy dopamine I need to get through life

Autistic fairy academia is weirdly a niche I didn't know how much I needed

I'm a simple person, I hear gay pirates and mermaids, I start reading

reviewing tomorrow

DNFing because there's something about second hand embarrassment as the main comedy bits that makes me shrivel inside, also I just don't like the fact the central conflict is the main character lying about EVERYTHING that's very frustrating. A few things here and there is fine, but everything isn't fun to read about.

I'm not ready for the end already

idk if this is gonna make sense but I feel like I needed to read this a few years ago during the pandemic and now it's till good but not hitting the same as I know it would've a few years ago, also I'm just not a poetry girlie and need to stop pretending otherwise

omg poor Britney

DNFed What is Existentialism by Simone de Beauvoir because of the weird imperialist messaging and my brain feels like liquid trying to piece together the increasingly abstract philosophy language.

in Elizabeth Acevedo we trust (to break my reading slump)
