“You've no right to starve people, to punish them for no reason. No right to take away their life and freedom. Those are things everyone is born with, and they're not yours for the taking. Winning a war doesn't give you that right. Having more weapons doesn't give you that right. Being from the Capitol doesn't give you that right. Nothing does.”
- Sejanus, The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes

10 More Booktok Books I Refuse To Read
Why am I doing this again? Well, I'm a bitch and feel like I've been rating books very highly lately so I need an outlet for the hater energy. Trying to keep the blog chaotic neutral!
*Disclaimer: If you like any of these books, slay! I'm happy for you! These are just my own consumer choices, and imo negative book reviews are just as helpful as positive ones!*
Tumblr media
1. Twisted Love (& Series)
will HATE the love intrest
heard its a little incelly
too straight for my gay ass
as an Anna, I cannot condone this spelling so out of principle I will not read her books <3
Tumblr media
2. The Fine Print (& Series)
Crusty billionaires aren't sexy
I repeat its too straight for my gay ass
I was born on December 5th which is the same day Walt Disney died and idk I just feel weird about it
eat the rich
I've had another one of Lauren Ashers books on my TBR for like a year and I keep putting off reading it (even tho its about F1 and Im obsessed with F1) so theres no hope of me reading and enjoying one about something I dont care about
Tumblr media
3. A Little Life
I have enough mental illness without reading this book
I have enough queer trauma without reading this book
I'm not okay enough to read this book
Seriously though, this would be way too triggering for me and im chosing to prioritize my mental health over reading popular and critically acclaimed works (you all should too <3)
Tumblr media
4. One Of Us Is Lying
I don't typically like Y/A thrillers
generally doesnt intrest me -> im getting tired of thrillers and have started leaning towards straight up horror
I HATE the cover
Tumblr media
5. Inheritance Games
I've been burnt out of this genre/type of book since the 2000s-2010s dystopian craze
my housemate hated it and I trust his opinion
Tumblr media
6. Lightlark
...do I really need to say anything
Tumblr media
7. House In The Cerulean Sea
white author profiting off of indigenous trauma
mishandling of indigenous genocide (i.e the 60's scoop)
paints the residential school system as "not that bad"
I know the above books haven't been that serious but this one absolutely is and I will link information and resources in the comments. I put this one so low because I know if it was first people would just skip this whole post and potentially not look into the history of why this book is problematic.
Tumblr media
8. The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo
theres too much hype and i don't want to be dissapointed
Tumblr media
9. The Love Hypothesis
galaxy leggings
I wont be able to overlook the cringy millenial humor
it will transport me back to 2016 (in a bad way...see above)
im too gay for that (I can be convinced to read bride tho👀)
Tumblr media
10. From Blood and Ash
I have no good reasons tbh
the cover triggers my fight or flight
im not a series girlie (gender neutral) -> duologies are on thin ice

TFW you realize the world has always been dystopian. Unsafe, full of greed and violence. Dystopian movies and books aren't about the future. They're about what is and always has been.

First look at my New Adult neuropunk dystopian heroine Ika Lehmacher, and the other girl the rebels saved/abducted so that both of them wouldn't be "cured", Sheede Enns.

Unravel me (Tahereh Mafi) - MY REVIEW
Tumblr media
⭐️⭐️⭐️.7
“Hell is empty, All the devils are here.”
This book is the second book of the shatter series! And I have so many thoughts about these books, So buckle up❤️
I love love LOVE Adam and Juliette. I don’t hate Aaron anymore, I’m just not 100% about him, But i’m convinced Adam And Juliette were made for each other in another lifetime. Kenji was amazing (as usual) and as well as this, all the characters felt so real!! We got the opportunity to meet Aarons dad (I HATED the mf) but his character kept me guessing as he was unpredictable.
Unravel me had me laughing, crying, screaming and loving ALL IN ONE. I enjoyed the writing, the quotes were beautiful :) I will say, I wish it was Dual POV, So we could see from the other characters POV (IE Kenji and Adam) but I appreciate that we have the novellas.
This book did take a bit to get into, but once it got good, it was hard to put down. Will be continuing the series!!

If the people who were supposed to protect you played so fast and loose with your life…then how did you survive? Not by trusting them, that was for sure. And if you couldn't trust them, who could you trust? All bets were off.
