Re reading this cus I love found family I love aliens

don't @ me I needed consume something with my brain turned off

If you squint this is kinda the same plot as Steven universe

Bro what is going on rn

How do I keep going in blind to books that feature explicit cannibalism

This book is so fucking good I love speculative fiction I love psychological realism I love philosophical themes. I’m not even finished and I’m already thinking about getting to reread this

I’ll prob dnf this and come back to it later I think I just have a hard time going thru short story compilations in one sitting. Some I liked and some were meh so far

this is giving D20 unsleeping city vibes yessss

I can already tell I'm going to be obsessed with this

yes im picking this one back up after a year don't @ me. still waiting for Goodreads to add a proper dnf shelf lol

The whole gollum scene was fucking crazy this is so lit

hyped to be finallyyyy reading this. hoping it doesn't suck me in to the rest of the lord of the rings (top 10 phrases I say before becoming utterly obsessed with something)

Chapter 6 (What it's like to be an Internalizer) was painful to get through lmao. Just absolutely coddling and victimizing the reader while villainizing everyone else. Hoping the next chapter actually provides some sort of useful tools but my opinion of this book is plummeting lol.

First half of this book was outlining and defining specific behaviors of emotionally immature ppl and how those behaviors can affect children. Not necessarily anything I didn't already know, aside from a few connections drawn that contextualized some things for me. Def a lot of good info so far tho. Second half may be more useful as it covers ways to mitigate any lasting damage done to the reader

Whew even just the preface of this was heavyyy. I am extremely intrigued but this one might have to be read in small doses so I don't get too depressed lol

Almost put this book down when the trans mc basically implied that she feels her emotions more strongly now that she has primarily estrogen hormones instead of testosterone.. I thought we debunked the whole "women are more emotional CHEMICALLY" thing ages ago bruh. left a horrible taste in my mouth

needed a break from brigands and breadknives lmao

Haven’t really felt the coziness that the first one had yet but we shall continue onward

I feel like Malala is my friend. this book is insanely relatable

reading this through an extremely Queer lens

starting yet another book lets see if I finish this one (loving it so far!!)

This is clearly a metaphor for the american civil rights movement but something about the way its written/marketed as a "cozy dystopian sci fi" is leaving a bad taste in my mouth. Feels almost tacky or like it downplays the struggles of racism and oppression that human beings actually experienced in real life lol. like why are you writing about the jim crow laws for robots.

Love that California is a separate nation from America in this setting lol. need that badly

My hot take is that I genuinely do not care for fighting/action sequences in books. Maybe I just don't like Sanderson's style specifically but I also cant remember the last "action" book I read that had a detailed play-by-play of a fight scene that I actually enjoyed. It so annoying to try and follow along to all that

Audiobook narrator popping off with the voice acting

This book is reminding me of when I would read gay harry potter fanfics im obsessed
