omg omg 1 2 3 4 7 and 18 for book asks (I got excited sue me)

1. book you’ve reread the most times? it's gotta be the truth about forever by sarah dessen. not for any particularly deep reason, just it was one of three books that i imprinted on when i was maybe 13ish, and that ended up coinciding with some of the most anxious and insomnia-ridden years of my life thus far, and i'd sit up all night riding waves of panic and re-reading it, because, idk, it was comforting and predictable and i liked it. <3

2. top 5 books of all time? already answered so i'm gonna do the next 5 that pop into my brain. there can never be too many top books.

braiding sweetgrass (i haven't FINISHED it but i just. can tell)

the raven cycle (the entire series)(is this cheating? maybe. whatever.)

they call me güero

the brown sisters series

....anna and the french kiss...... (look u guys can drag me for this but. baby me thought this shit was peak romance and i do re-read for the nostalgia occasionally. i also do sometimes still repeat the name etienne to myself. it's FUN TO SAY. and the group dynamics were top tier i wanted a friend group just like this sorry not sorry.)

3. what is your favorite genre? i WILL bitch about amatonormativity all day but i fucking love a well-written contemporary romance (although i generally stick with YA or new-ish adult), ESPECIALLY IF IT'S QUEER. what can i say. i contain multitudes. and then i also love middle-grade contemporary with hints of mystery and adventure.

4. what sections of a bookstore do you browse? i primarily browse YA but i occasionally drift into poetry or cookbooks. <3 (i can't justify purchasing cookbooks since i hardly ever actually use them but GOD i love the pictures.)

7. is there a series/book that got you into reading? just answered this one and the answer hasn't necessarily changed but! i'm gonna have to give a shoutout to my underfunded hometown library bc those tattered copies of the saddle club really gripped me and wouldn't let me go. also. did anyone else read sammy keyes? singlehandedly destroyed my ability to spell the word "keys" for years but goddamn it was worth it.

18. do you like historical books? which time period? i won't seek them out but i wouldn't turn them down either, which means i also don't have a time period in mind. like, i'll kinda read anything as long as it scratches my brain in the right way.
