But it was a relief all the same, to let yourself go. (...) A real orgy of weeping in which all her troubles, doubts and unacknowledged fears might find vent and be swept away.

hiii 🩷
favorite book? and do you have any recommendations
I read "Primal Fear" a few weeks ago and it was so, so good. It was absolutely terrifying and definitely not for the faint of heart, but one of the best books I've ever read. Every few pages I'd be sick to my stomach because of the awful things that happened to the (very young) characters. About a lawyer who takes on a pro bono case " a young priest is brutally murdered and a teenage boy is found at the scene, covered in blood and holding a knife." The suspect is named Aaron, he's nineteen and angelically beautiful. Every character that meets him talks about how sweet and innocent and angelic he looks and he seems like he's just a young man that grew up in a small town and ran away during high school to start a better life . He's close friends with the priest that was killed and views him as a mentor. Other than the blood and the knife and the fact that he was found at the crime scene, he seems incapable of doing something so atrocious. The story gets more and more horrific as it goes on and was truly chilling at times, but it was a brilliant read
Lolita is a classic and also a favourite. It always makes me think a lot whenever I read it. Also very disturbing and hard to get through.
"Our little secret" by roz nay is about a young woman that cannot get over her high school boyfriend and struggles to move on from him. When his wife goes missing, the main character is a prime suspect. Most of the book takes place in the interrogation room or flashbacks. The mc becomes more and more visibly unstable as the book progresses and you see a lot of how her mother damages her as she grows older.
I enjoyed Prozac Nation but honestly the plot bored me after a while and I didn't really want to finish it. But it was good and I did like it, just wasn't for me. But it's an accurate depiction of severe mental health issues for a lot of people.
The outsiders is another classic that I just love. Not much to say about it, only that its sad in a really realistic way. Reminds me of my older brother a lot in a way. Fun fact, the author was beefing with a fourteen year old on twitter a few years back, that was definitely something!!
I began " the sittaford mystery" by Agatha Christie and I've been enjoying it so far. I'm only a few pages in so there's not much to say, only that I like her writing style
One flew over the cuckoo's nest haunted me for a while after I read it. Its about patients in a mental institution in 40s (idk maybe 50s or 60s) America. The catch is, the central character isn't actually mentally ill. He's faking it to get out of a jail sentence. It's heartbreaking because of the abuse they suffer and how realistic it is to what people went through (and still go through) in mental health facilities. Very good novel, and I've heard the film is great too.
"And I don't want to live this life" is a book about Nancy Spungen. She was a groupie in the rock scene that began dating a guitarist from the sex pistols. The book is written by her mother, Deborah, and it describes Nancy's severe mental health issues that she suffered from her entire life. It also touches on Nancy's murder at the hands of her boyfriend. She was only twenty when she died. Very upsetting, but great if you're interested in the 70s rock scene. I didn't know anything about her or her situation before I read it, but I still enjoyed it
Under a dark sky is a guilty pleasure favourite of mine. Its actually quite good, so I'm not sure why it falls into the guilty pleasure category for me. Murder mystery about a young widow that goes to stay at a retreat for a weekend and accidentally ends up in a house with a group of twenty something year old close friends. Things get crazy and the friend group isn't as sweet as it seems.
The woman in the window was good and I liked it very much. Read it like two years ago, so I don't remember much of it.
I'll edit if I can remember anymore!!! I just reread twilight and I love the gossip girl books, the first tvd book and the pll series too
Hope this helps!!! Lysm

My mind can really work in some type of way.
I just had a thought about Emma Watson appearing in an Agatha Christie adaptation (because in Three Act Tragedy there is a character called Hermione) and it just makes so much sense to me that she should be in one! So, Agatha Christie has a lot of young women characters who find themselves solving a mystery. Victoria of They Came to Baghdad, Frankie from Why Didn’t They Ask Evans (which has just been adapted), Emily in The Sittaford Mystery, Anne in The Man in the Brown Suit, etc etc. I think Emma would be great at one of those roles. There is, of course, the best known of all, Tuppence Beresford (though she’s only young in the first two books, as she and Tommy actually age, unlike Poirot and Marple). So I’m thinking, what if Emma played Tuppence? The David Walliams series a few years ago was not really much, we could do with a new, better adaptation. So who would play Tommy, I’m thinking, so I’m thinking what if Emma was reunited with her HP boyfriend, Rupert Grint? And you know what, Tommy is a redhead like Rupert!

And here Emily began to cry. She had, earlier in the day, announced her intention to Charles Enderby of doing so, but what appalled her so was with what ease the tears came. To cry at will is not an easy accomplishment. There was something much too real about these tears. It frightened her. She mustn’t really give way. Giving way wasn’t the least use to Jim. To be resolute, logical and clear-sighted—these were the qualities that were going to count in this game. Sloppy crying had never helped anyone yet.
But it was a relief all the same, to let yourself go. After all she had meant to cry. Crying would be an undeniable passport to Mrs. Belling’s sympathy and help. So why not have a good cry while she was about it? A real orgy of weeping in which all her troubles, doubts and unacknowledged fears might find vent and be swept away.

Different anon but speaking of games do you have any book recs with a plot that’s the same as the game until dawn? Supernatural murder mystery type thing with a winter and snowy setting? Tysm
Okay, so we are talking out in the middle of nowhere murder mysteries, and I know a few!
The Hunting Party by Lucy Foley - one of the first that came to mind, murder mystery, surrounded by snow, a group of people who tangled up lives that make this story interesting. Not supernatural but definitely has some of the themes you're looking for.
The Book Of Cold Cases by Simone St James - It has murder mystery, it has a snowy house in the middle of nowhere, it has supernatural spooky stuff going on and I've heard nothing but good things about this book.
White Is For Witching by Helen Oyeyemi - Based around a family where one of the members goes missing in a creepy house that makes noises and creaks at every move, this book is creepy, snowy and mysterious and might be something you might enjoy.
The Sittaford Mystery by Agatha Christie - Agatha Christie quite liked the supernatural in her books sometimes, and this story begins in the middle of a seance, where someone is declared dead, a mystery ensues on a very snowy Dartmoor.
I hope these recommendations are somewhat useful, let me know what kind of supernatural and maybe I can be a bit more specific! (Also reading the plot, I know it's a hot setting but Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno-Garcia might also be of interest to you).
Always happy to help, thank you for question,
Vee xo
