On YA
I will say, the one thing that bookshelf tours (at least recently) allllllways disappoint me about is that basically no one has contemporary YA anymore, except maybe a handful of the very boring and over-hyped bestsellers from the 2010s, and then there’s me out here with my 150+.
Which I’ve decided to share since I made the effort of typing it up (per yesterday’s post), so if you’ve always had the burning question “which 21st century YA novels does Televinita, a 30-something, own exactly,” today is your lucky day.
(DISCLAIMER LIST: noted ‘historical’ on a few while seeing if I had enough for their own area (no). These aren’t all necessarily ones I want to keep forever, just the one that are currently here. Also this doesn’t include any books I bought between about 2014 and 2020 that I haven’t read, which I’m sure comprise a not-insignificant amount. and my handful of Tamora Pierce & Ransom Riggs titles have been separated out because I’d put them w/ my HP and other series books.)
OK, that’s enough disclaimers, enjoy your skim maybe someday I’ll get ambitious and add authors, or at least letter separations.

hi! are you alright with people using your art as an icon (with credit) or would you prefer people didn’t? either way is fine, i love your art!! <3
Oh my, I don’t know when you sent this but I hope it wasn’t too long ago! I didn’t get a notification.
Thank you for asking! If anything is tagged ‘art4others’ or ‘ch:any character name’ people should not use those, since they’re art for other people (as you may have surmised) or my own personal OCs. Otherwise yeah, you can use it as long as you leave credit on your profile! :3
For further clarification, you can use any character from my ‘hw1’ tag (that tag itself is subject to change when I eventually decide on a title for that headworld/narrative)! E.g. Koz and Tallulah, Eris, Tess. Those characters are for use in comics I’ll be sharing, so if people are fans of them and thus want to use them in icons…… that would actually make me very happy!!
