well that movie SUCKED. wow. im actually so disappointed. the book was so good!!! and they just fucked the whole thing up in the movie!!! the way they left out SO many important details!!!! the way in the book no one but vittoria and her dad know about the antimatter but in the movie a whole ass team does, the fact that it's vittoria's dad that dies in the book but in the movie it's just her partner which like doesn't have the same kind of personal feeling to it, literally everything cool about CERN being left out, literally no details about langdon, the way they did not include ANY of the super cool details about galileo and barely anything about bernini, the complete anticlimacticness of every scene w langon in the vatican library glass rooms, the way the fourth cardinal ends up living in the movie even though he dies in the book, no glick and macri!!, the way the camerlengo went up in the helicopter himself and langdon is still on the ground, and what perhaps pisses me off most: the way they erased a WHOLE ENTIRE SUPER IMPORTANT CHARACTER!!!! AKA THE CHARACTER WE'RE SUPPOSED TO THINK IS THE BAD GUY UP UNTIL THE WHOLE SIIIIKE MOMENT???? AND THEY JUST. DIDNT INCLUDE HIM IN THIS MOVIE???

and oh my god it felt SO rushed!!!! like they skipped over basically the entire first half of the book, at least thats what it felt like, and nothing felt like fully developed. ugh.

that was just such a disappointment :/

hii breadstick 💛 (can we call u just by Breadstick? or do u prefer Spookybreadstick?) in the post of the 3 random facts u said u liked obscure reads, and i'm interested in this kind of readings, so what do you recommend?? I'd like to recommend u a book that I love (as I'm not an American, maybe that's not the name of the book, but I'm convinced that I'm right) it's called "The Da Vinci Code" (at least google said that's) is mystery and detective novel - dancing parrot 🐦

hi dancing parrot!! (of course you call me just breadstick, or spookybreadstick, whatever you’d prefer). i’m so glad that you asked about my book recommendations, because i will gladly give you some!

first things first, though: i must warn you, most of my recommendations fall under the Young Adult Fiction category.

In defense of the YA fiction genre, I believe that it truly gets a bad name. Not all YA books are bad (although certainly not all are good). I think I’d have to also say that I am not a “book-snob,” in a way. A lot of people who are big readers can be pretty selective with their choices, and often keep to the classics. For me personally, I am open to reading all kinds of stories, and in fact I prefer to avoid many classics. I don’t read because I want to analyze every aspect of the story, I don’t read because I want to have to decipher the hidden meanings or the old language that the book may have been written in, and I don’t read because I want to hear what old, straight, white men from the 1800s have to say. (Although there are some classics I do enjoy, and I don’t shame people for liking what they like. Classics are classics for a reason, after all, it’s just not really my thing). I read because I want to be entertained by the plot, I want an escape from reality, and I want to immerse myself in the shoes of somebody else. I want to love the characters, to know them deeply, and to see myself in parts of them.

I also plan on going into the editing/publishing field, and I want to focus on YA fiction. I very firmly believe that YA books, done right, are wonderful reads for everyone. Additionally, I want to help bring in more stories that focus on POC leads, LGBTQ+ leads, and just more diversity in general.

Each one of the books that I will recommend has struck a chord within my heart, and they mean something to me. I hope that you, or somebody else reading this, might find joy and meaning in one of these books as well <3

We All Looked Up by Tommy Wallach

This book is ideal for when you want to have an existential crisis. It makes me think of my own mortality and how I’m spending my life (but in a good way!). It gives off a similar vibe to Pixar’s Soul in that way.

They Both Die At The End by Adam Silvera

This book also makes you have an existential crisis. It’s so excellently written that you really should read it twice to get the full story. Each character within it serves a definitive purpose that you can piece together by the end of the book.

Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell

I love this book so much and it also belongs in my top three best books. I think it accurately depicts what it’s like to live with an anxiety disorder (like I do!), what it’s like to love fanfic/fandom, and a lot of the main character’s personality traits match my own real-life personality traits.

H20 + The Storm by Virginia Bergin

I love this duo because I feel like it’s a very accurate depiction of how a young teenager would act in the event of an apocalypse situation. Just the right amount of realism, you know? I also believe it’s titled “The Rain” in the UK.

Girl In Pieces by Kathleen Glasglow

This book made me cry. I feel like it’s a scarily accurate interpretation of what it’s like struggling with mental illness. It’s not for the faint of heart though, there are some pretty graphic parts of it.

These Witches Don’t Burn + This Coven Won’t Break by Isabel Sterling

I adore this duo because it was so fun to read! I loved figuring out the mystery of who was behind everything, I loved the characters, and I love the idea of magic being used/witches in a modern setting. This book also gets MAJOR representation points for LGBTQ+. Must read if you like the idea of gay witches.

Sisterland by Curtis Sittenfeld

I love this book, and it is in my top three best books. It’s such a comfort read to me, my copy of it is super worn because I’ve read it so much!

The Rules of Magic by Alice Hoffman

This book made me feel something I can’t quite describe. It made me feel more in tune with myself, if that makes any sense? I don’t know, but it’s a lovely read. I love the movie “Practical Magic” (I haven’t read the book yet, but I’m planning to!) and this book is a prequel to Practical Magic. This is definitely a part of my top three books!

Recommendation For Dancing Parrot:

Based on the synopsis for the your book recommendation, it seems that you are a mystery fan. “Big Little Lies” by Liane Moriarty (yes, there is a TV show about this as well) is such a great mystery in my opinion. I was completely shocked at the end. I was stunned, and I had to backtrack to make sure I read it right.

Thank you so much for asking me about books, as you can tell I am quite passionate about them! Thank you as well for your recommendation, I will be looking into “The Da Vinci Code”! (I will also have your request out tomorrow!!)

Lots of love,

- breadstick 🥖
