i want to be the most pretentious, obnoxiously well-read person in any room

Day 1: Favorite Dog Man book

I like Fetch-22. It has some adventure and action and stuff. (Its a long time to draw some childhood characters).

I hope you guys like it!

Book 18 of 2024

The Witch's Ladder by Wendy Wang

We revisit Charlie and her family once more in this book. This one gives a much broader look at the magic system in their world, as well as introducing another love interest for Charlie's cousin Jen, who is my second favorite character so far. We also get a good look at the consequences of their magic system as well. I loved the deeper dive into the magic world outside their family (at least that wasn't ghost driven ex. book 3) I quite liked Tom's moments in these, and am liking the natural build of his and Charlie's relationship. I missed the acerbic whit of Jason in this one, but he seems to be falling into the background and that's okay. Also, Penny the chicken is awesome.

A Tale for the Time Being – Ruth Ozeki book review

I don’t know how to describe what I’m feeling right now. After completing this book I’m left with a storm in my chest, Ruth Ozeki wrote a touching and unforgettable story. It was funny and tragic at the same time, and a lot of times very harrowing and so gut wrenching that I had to put the book down and stop for a couple minutes.

In this book we follow two stories at the same time but not actually. Ruth is a novelist living in a remote island who one day discovers a collection of artifacts washed ashore in a Hello Kitty lunchbox, there she finds the diary of sixteen-year-old Nao who lives in Tokyo. As Ruth continues to read Nao’s diary she plunges into the life of a young girl who’s bullied by her classmates and has an unemployed suicidal father. Nao’s voice is funny, quirky and deep while she talks about life and death, quantum physics and Buddhist nuns. We go from one story line to the other, back and forth between past and present, and so we find ourselves wanting to know what’s going to happen at the end.

A Tale for the Time Being is a beautiful story with touching characters, compelling narrative that is equally magical and wise. It may make you bit sad but it’s a story worth reading.

First post yay! Hello my name is Michelle and i like to read :) this account is to share my love for books and make friends on the way <3 have you read this book? if you have please tell me your thoughts :D

This is what a productive morning is looking like for me

So I’ve been terrible at posting here about my reading. But I’ve been logging daily on Goodreads. I friggin love that app. Maybe I’ll whip up a recap of some kind of everything I’ve read since I kinda spaced on this blog.

First I’ve gotta finish my current read. My eyes aren’t feeling tired yet and I’m close enough to the end I can probably finish it before I pass out for the night

Fascinating! I keep meeting people in some sort of engineering major that have a passion for creating music. Is this just a coincidence?

who knows 😭 i personally dont know anyone like me. if society didnt treat musicians/art jobs like shit i would very likely be in the field, but im good at math (and science), i like problem solving, and engineering has a good job outlook so im here instead.

Me: Okay. I guess I'm immature ;)

Malibu Rising might be my favorite book from Taylor Jenkins Reid.

Finished it in 5 days! Now onto the next in my pile of TBR books.

Hi. Sorry to bother you but I need you.

You write a lot about them and have a lot of knowledge. I know it's stupid but you're the number two of people I need to know what you think about.

I won't say more because if you're publishing an answer I don't people or you think I do this for advert.

Thx in advance

Hi, lovely. Aw, I'm truly honored.

Do you mean the HC (Next Generation 1) for Marvel? I already found it on my dash and added it to my favs to read it later. 😊

If not, send me the link hun. I'm always looking for new stories to read.💕

Book 11 of 2024

The Carrow Haunt by Darcy Coates

A phenomenal read that feels like watching Rose Red for the first time. I like the building tension in this book, both the setting and the between characters. This has the author's stereotypical villain reveal about three quarters through, but is written so well that it didn't bother me. I do like how her heroines tend to not be shrinking violets, but was mildly annoyed that the 32 year female side character was called old and desperate, as me, myself, am older than that. 😅 I also love the absolute clash of personalities between the cast of characters. I do wish the author had given a bit more outside the house description, but am satisfied either way.

Hi everyone! After peeking at tumblr sh!tposts from Pinterest, AO3 and YouTube for a few years, I have finally joined the chaos. I like memes, photography, to draw, and write. I hope we all will get along!
